Chinese actor Hu Ge surprised netizens in January 2023 when he suddenly announced on social media the birth of his daughter and his marriage at the same time.

The 41-year-old had said on Weibo then that his wife is not a public figure and that he kept mum about their nuptials and her pregnancy to ensure the smooth delivery of his child. While he did not reveal his wife’s name or picture, Chinese media reported that she is his long-time personal assistant Huang Xining, who is 11 years his junior.
