On October 7th, a netizen revealed that they encountered Hu Ge who was house hunting with his wife in a district in Shanghai. The rare appearance of Hu Ge and his wife attracted significant attention from many netizens.
In the photos shared by the netizen, Hu Ge’s wife, Huang Xi Ning, appeared in good spirits as she walked ahead of Hu Ge. She looked simple with no makeup and carried some documents, presumably related to the advertisement of luxury houses.
After the news spread, the focus of netizens was not solely on the celebrity house-hunting, but more on the natural interaction between the couple. There were no assistants around them. Hu Ge, dressed in dark attire with a hat and sunglasses, walked with a tall and slender figure, displaying a stylish and graceful demeanor without any sign of middle-aged weight gain. Some netizens jokingly commented that Hu Ge “walks like he’s in a magazine shoot.”
Huang Xi Ning, walking in front of Hu Ge, was different from the glamorous female stars seen on stage. With her neat short hair and makeup-free face, she wore a loose blue dress, emanating a particularly casual vibe.
One interesting detail that garnered attention was when Huang Xi Ning naturally glanced back at Hu Ge while going up the stairs, as if reminding him to watch his step. It was noted that as Hu Ge’s former manager, this caring habit seemed deeply ingrained in her. Even though her role shifted from work partner to wife, it still naturally showed.
Upon entering the building, Hu Ge took off his sunglasses and playfully hurried inside with a slight hunch, leading netizens to tease that he was being “sneaky cute.”
In a surprising announcement on January 31, 2023, Hu Ge revealed on Weibo that he was married and a father. He mentioned that the delay in announcing the news was due to his wife being a private individual not wanting external disruptions, which shocked many.
Known for his extremely private life, Hu Ge made a rare public statement when he highlighted his daughter’s nickname, “Xiao Mo Li” when she turned 100 days old. In an interview, Hu Ge expressed that being a father was the most important role in his life.
A year ago, a netizen shared a photo of Hu Ge and his family at Kansai Airport in Osaka, Japan on Weibo. To protect his privacy, the post was delayed by half a month before being shared. In the photo, the family quietly sat in a corner of a restaurant. Hu Ge held a tea cup and lovingly looked at his daughter as if engaging in a conversation with her, displaying a tender expression, marking the first public father-daughter interaction since the birth of his daughter.
Hu Ge now gives off a relaxed and laid-back vibe. Recently, a netizen encountered him looking unshaven, dressed casually, even described as a bit “sloppy” by some.
Huang Xi Ning, who is 11 years younger than Hu Ge, initially joined Hu Ge’s team as a makeup artist before being promoted to his manager. There were rumors that after marriage, Huang Xi Ning no longer served as Hu Ge’s manager but focused on the family. In March of this year, there were reports claiming that she had given birth to their second son, although this has not been confirmed by Hu Ge’s side.
According to some netizens, Hu Ge owned multiple properties in Shanghai. However, a property blogger recently disclosed on a show that a luxury property that once peaked near 100 million yuan had now sold for just over 40 million yuan, marking a more than 50% drop. Speculations arose that Hu Ge and his wife might be taking advantage of the significant price reductions in parts of Shanghai to provide a better environment for their second child.
