At 1 p.m. on January 28, Huang Xiaoming and Angelababy (Yang Ying) simultaneously wrote on their respective Microblogs, "Grateful for all the past, the future is still family!" " and issued a divorce declaration through the studio. This nearly 7-year marriage officially came to an end.
Huang Xiaoming and Angelababy had a scandal in 2010 and then officially and publicly exchanged in 2014. On May 27, 2015, the two publicly posted their marriage certificates, officially announced their marriage, and held a grand wedding at the Shanghai Exhibition Center on October 8.
Although from time to time in the face of acting questions, the films starring Huang Xiaoming have always had good box office performances, such as "The Bright Moon Heavenly Kingdom of the White-Haired Witch", "The Best Life of a Spoiled Woman", "Why Sheng ZhenMo" and so on. In addition, he also won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor in 2013 with "China Partner" in response to external doubts. From a TV drama student to a first-line actor in the film industry, Huang Xiaoming's acting career has been developing steadily.
Angelababy collaborated with Huayi through Huang Xiaoming in 2012, starred in several films in Chinese mainland, and became a top female star with the "Run Bar Brothers" series. A first-line actor in the film circle and a top female star walked together, which was hailed by the outside world as a match made in heaven. After their marriage, the two also received business endorsements from time to time, and jointly endorsed brands such as Vantage Appliances, Royal Caribbean Cruises and 58 Home.

After marriage, Huang Xiaoming's career was booming, and he won the Golden Rooster Film Emperor again in 2020 with "Heroes of Fire". His business footprint grew. At present, he is not only a shareholder of Bona Pictures and LeTV Pictures, but also founded Beijing Mingjia Investment Management Co., Ltd. (Mingjia Capital) with senior investment consultant Zhang Xiaoting in 2015. Mingjia Capital invested in a number of projects such as the first car loan, nut smart cinema, hot fitness, mustang live, and uncle of the same road, among which nut smart cinema has quickly become the industry leader at that time in 2016. Today, Huang Xiaoming is already a well-known investor in the show business circle.
Since the affiliate company Zhejiang Dongyang Haohan Film and Television Entertainment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Haohan Film and Television") has a 5-year VAM agreement with Huayi Brothers, Angelababy mainly focuses on her acting career after marriage. She continued to participate in the "Run" series of programs and became famous in variety shows, but her acting skills have been ridiculed by the group, and she can only continue the traffic star route.
Between Huang Xiaoming and Angelababy, there are already traces of "appearance and separation". In 2021, in addition to the joint debunking of the rumor that "Angelababy is a third party involved in Huang Xiaoming and Li Fei'er", the only public interaction between the two is Huang Xiaoming's birthday wishes to Angelababy. It is no surprise that the two announced their parting ways today.
The two men's business map has long been unrelated. According to the Tianyancha App, there are 48 of Huang Xiaoming's affiliated companies, of which 32 are in existence, including Mingjia Capital, which is the chairman of the board. Angelababy has 3 affiliates. She serves as a shareholder in all of these companies, each with a 99% stake. From the perspective of the two-person related enterprises, the two do not have a direct business relationship at present.
Tianyan's investigation showed that Huang Xiaoming had no commercial affiliation with Angelababy
Although there is no commercial relationship at present, on the way to fame between the two, a history that cannot be ignored is that both of them have signed a contract with Huayi Brothers.
In 2007, Huayi Brothers signed Huang Xiaoming, who was a popular at the time. In 2008, Huayi Brothers conducted an internal equity subscription, and the subscription opportunity was open to all its stars, with a maximum subscription limit of 1.8 million shares. Huang Xiaoming then spent 5.4 million yuan to buy 1.8 million shares of Huayi Brothers at a price of 3 yuan per share.
In 2009, Huayi Brothers went public with an issue price of RMB28.58 per share. Huang Xiaoming invested 5.4 million yuan in Huayi equity a year ago, and the value of which has exceeded 100 million yuan a year later. According to Legal Daily, although restricted individual shareholders are not allowed to transfer the company's equity for one year, in April 2010, Huayi Brothers implemented the 2009 annual dividend, and Huang Xiaoming's shareholding increased to 3.6 million shares, and received a cash dividend of 540,000 yuan, with a market value of more than 100 million yuan at that time. After completing the Huayi contract, Huang Xiaoming announced in 2010 that he would set up a personal studio and sell his shares in Huayi one after another, thus becoming rich. He also crossed from the showbiz circle to the investment circle. At present, Huang Xiaoming's business empire headed by Mingjia Capital can be said to have originated from the "first bucket of gold" of Huayi Brothers.
After Huang Xiaoming set up his own studio, he still maintained a good relationship with Huayi Brothers. Not only did he continue to star in the movie "The Best Life of a Spoiled Woman" and "Eight Hundred" produced by Huayi, but he also matched Angelababy, who was still a scandal at the time, in 2012 and recommended her to huayi brothers. On June 27, 2012, Angelababy's brokerage company Fashion International Co., Ltd. signed a brokerage contract with Huayi Brothers to establish Angelababy's personal studio in Beijing.
After signing the contract, Angelababy has starred in a number of Huayi movies, including "Tai Chi 1: Starting from Scratch", "Tai Chi 2: Rise of Heroes", "Micro Love Gradually Enters a Better State", and "Dragon Hunting Tips". She also became a resident guest on Run Brothers in 2014, when Deng Chao, Li Chen, and Zheng Kai, who participated in the recording of the show, were all Artists under Huayi. After the show began broadcasting, it received great attention, and the value of guests such as Angelababy also rose.
On May 27, 2015, Huang Xiaoming and Angelababy held a wedding ceremony of the century. Four months later, Huayi Brothers announced the acquisition of a 70% stake in Haohan Film and Television, a company owned by Angelababy, for 756 million yuan. At that time, the acquisition case attracted attention from all walks of life, because when Huayi Brothers announced the news, Haohan Film and Television was only one day old. At that time, Haohan Film and Television shareholders included artists such as Angelababy, Li Chen and Feng Shaofeng, who collectively accounted for 85% of the company's shares. After the completion of the acquisition, Huayi Brothers said that it valued the influence of star shareholders and hoped that they could take the initiative to create profits for the company. Huayi Brothers also signed a 5-year VAM agreement with Haohan Film and Television, and Haohan Film and Television needs to achieve a net profit of 90 million yuan in the first year, and it will increase by 15% year by year.

After the acquisition, Angelababy began to participate in the investment business in addition to working hard to run a performing arts business to complete the requirements of the VAM agreement. Her co-founded startup, AB Capital, has invested in a number of companies, including cross-border e-commerce terminals, vegetable juice brand Heyjuice and papitube, where Papi sauce is located.
Huang Xiaoming left Huayi Self-Reliance Portal in 2010, and Angelababy also completed the VAM agreement between Haohan Film and Television and Huayi in 2020. The two can be described as following a very similar path, relying on Huayi to get rich, and crossed from the showbiz circle to the investment circle. Today, Huang Xiaoming not only has obtained professional recognition in the showbiz circle and become the Golden Rooster Film Emperor, but also has a huge business empire that is envied by the showbiz circle. Although Angelababy's business empire is not as large as Huang Xiaoming's, she has 104 million followers on Weibo, has a considerable traffic base, and has her own investment career.
Now the two have decided to peacefully separate, end the marriage relationship, and also said that they will raise their children together in the future and accompany their children to grow.
