On July 5th, a front-facing photo of Mainland Chinese actor Hu Ge and his wife was revealed for the first time. In the picture, the couple is wearing black short-sleeved shirts and appears very affectionate standing together. Even though the veteran Hong Kong artist, Liu Songren, swiftly deleted the post showing a dinner gathering photo, the picture immediately climbed to the top of the trending list on Weibo.
Liu Songren shared multiple dinner gathering photos on Weibo on the 5th, alongside the caption: “Yesterday, meeting my idol and catching up with old friends, was truly a happy occasion! Friendship is priceless! Wishing everyone health and happiness! Long live friendships!”
Of particular interest is a group photo where Hu Ge is accompanied by a short-haired woman. The two not only wore matching black outfits but also stood closely shoulder to shoulder, smiling at the camera. It can be seen from the photo that the woman did not wear makeup, but still had a good complexion.
Although the post did not specifically mention, several mainland media outlets pointed out that the woman in question is Hu Ge’s wife. The keyword “Hu Ge and wife’s photo together” quickly rose to the top of the Weibo hot search, sparking discussions.
At 41 years old, Hu Ge announced his marriage to a non-public figure woman in January last year. The sudden announcement caused a stir, leading to increased curiosity about his partner.
Although Hu Ge has not publicly disclosed his wife’s identity, a well-known mainland entertainment blogger, “Jiang Xiaoyan,” revealed on Weibo that Hu Ge’s wife’s name is Huang Xining, born in 1993, making her 11 years younger than Hu Ge. Subsequent reports also indicated that Hu Ge’s talent agent is named Huang Xining, suggesting they are the same person.
Huang Xining has long played a crucial role by Hu Ge’s side, silently supporting his career. Previous photos of the two together were mostly work-related, but thanks to Liu Songren’s post, the front-facing photo of Hu Ge and his wife was publicly revealed for the first time. Following past attacks on Hu Ge’s wife’s appearance, the release of this photo garnered much praise, with many commenting on their well-matched looks.
After becoming a father, Hu Ge has become a “daughter slave.” He revealed that he named his daughter “Molly,” meaning “never apart,” hoping that the family will always stay together. Recalling the birth of his daughter, he expressed compassion for his wife’s labor and was present throughout the delivery. Hu Ge even joked at an awards ceremony that his daughter didn’t expect him to win but could now proudly show off his award to her.
Currently, “Blooming Flowers” is airing on the MyVideo platform in Taiwan, dominating the ratings for over 20 days. Set in 1990s Shanghai, the drama follows worker “A Bao” (played by Hu Ge) who, with the help of senior “Uncle Ye” (played by You Benchang) and nightclub owner “Lingzi” (played by Ma Yili), rises in the business world to become “Boss Bao.” However, the appearance of the new owner of the “Zhenyuan Garden” hotel, “Li Li” (played by Xin Zhi Lei), disrupts Boss Bao’s previously steady career trajectory.
During the show’s broadcast in Taiwan, viewers noticed that Hu Ge’s wife, Huang Xining, made a cameo appearance in the first episode. She played a passerby in the marketplace, accidentally getting her oranges scattered by “A Bao” (Hu Ge) riding a bicycle. Although her on-screen time was fleeting, her elegant features and radiant smile were easily recognized, and the unexpected scene of them together quickly trended.
According to mainland media reports, “Blooming Flowers” was filmed in 2020 when Huang Xining was still only Hu Ge’s talent agent. After getting married and having a daughter, she withdrew from managing Hu Ge’s affairs and focused on her role as a homemaker.
