Tao, Former EXO Member, Reveals October Wedding Plans with Singer-Actress Xu Yiyang

Former EXO Member Tao Announces Upcoming Wedding to Xu Yiyang

In a delightful revelation during a recent variety show, Tao, the former member of the popular K-pop group EXO, has announced his marriage to the talented Chinese singer and actress Xu Yiyang, set to take place this October.

Plans for a Lavish “Wedding of the Century”

Known by his birth name Huang Zitao, Tao shared details about their planned wedding ceremony on August 11, expressing aspirations for it to be a “wedding of the century.”The couple has been meticulously planning their nuptials for six months, aiming for an extravagant celebration reminiscent of high-profile weddings like those of Jay Chou and Huang Xiaoming.

In an exciting twist, the couple intends to invite a host of celebrities along with over 100 dedicated fans, who will have a special seating arrangement. To ensure that their followers worldwide can join in the festivities, organizers are also exploring options for a live stream of the event.

Background on the Couple

Tao, who debuted with EXO in 2012, made headlines in 2015 when he filed a lawsuit to void his contract with SM Entertainment, which ultimately concluded in favor of the agency. Since his departure, he has established a flourishing career in the Chinese entertainment scene.

On the other hand, Xu Yiyang initially garnered attention in 2016 as a participant in SM Rookies, the pre-debut training program of the agency, and has cultivated her talents successfully in both singing and acting.

Romantic Timeline and Speculations

Although whispers of their romance began circulating in 2020, the couple officially confirmed their relationship in the previous year after four years of speculation. In December, they took a significant step by registering their marriage legally in China, marking the beginning of their life together as husband and wife. While there has been intense media interest regarding rumors of a possible secret pregnancy and childbirth, the couple has chosen to remain tight-lipped.

Last August, tabloids in China published reports of Xu being spotted at prenatal appointments in the United States, and later, she was seen shopping for baby products. Tao inadvertently stirred further speculation during a livestream when he mentioned a child, soon shifting topics. In June, paparazzi captured Xu’s mother with a nanny who was holding an infant, intensifying public curiosity, yet the couple continues to refrain from commenting.

Anticipation for the Ceremony

As the wedding day approaches, many industry insiders are particularly interested in whether Luhan, another former member of EXO and a close friend of Tao, will attend the ceremony. The two friends have maintained their bond over the years, even recently performing their duet “Our Tomorrow”at Luhan’s concert in June, leading to speculation regarding his attendance.

While the specific venue and detailed guest list are yet to be unveiled, all eyes remain fixed on the couple’s upcoming celebration. Fans and fellow artists eagerly await an unforgettable ceremony as Tao and Xu Yiyang embark on this exciting new chapter of their lives together.
