Early life
Angelababy was born in Shanghai on 28 February 1989 to a Hong Kong father and Shanghainese mother. Her birth name is Yang Ying (Cantonese: Yeung Wing). Her father, whose mother is German, runs a fashion business in Shanghai.[3] She gained an interest in fashion as a child under her father's influence. She said in an interview, "Even though he [her father] sells more mature clothes, I loved going to his store and trying on new outfits, and mixing and matching them. It was fun. I think that's how I developed a passion for fashion."[3] She is fluent in Mandarin and Cantonese, and has a basic command of English.
She moved to Hong Kong when she was 13, and graduated from Notre Dame College. Although her English name is Angela, she was sometimes called "Baby" during her primary and secondary school years. When she started modeling, she combined these two names to Angelababy.[3]
Career
She was first signed as a model by Style International Management when she was 14 years old.[3]
Despite being a fashion model, she was also associated with the pseudo-model scene in Hong Kong[4] and released several pseudo-model pictorial albums.
She starred in the Japanese web drama Tweet Love Story in July 2010. The basis of the drama is audience participation via Twitter; selected viewer tweets with the hash tag #tweetlovestory would complete missing lines spoken by Yeung.
She did the speaking voice to Rapunzel in the Cantonese dub of Disney's "Tangled".
In May 2012, she signed a contract with Avex Group for activities in Japan.[3] She has since been studying Japanese.[3] In 2014, she became a commercial film model of Hotel Shilla's Duty Free Shop which is an affiliated company of Samsung Group in Seoul, South Korea.
In 2015, she became the product ambassador of Meitu phone in China.[5]
She is tagged as Kim Kardashian of China in a 2015 survey held by Daily Mirror along with other celebrities such as Kavita Radheshyam from India, Lina Ayoubi from Australia, Shahira Barry from Ireland, Anastisiya Kvitko from Russia.[6]
Personal life
Angelababy had been dating Chinese actor Huang Xiaoming for six years, but their relationship was not revealed to the public until February 2014. On 27 May 2015 they obtained their marriage certificate in Qingdao, China[7] and their wedding banquet took place in Shanghai on 8 October 2015.[8] The wedding banquet was reported to be one of the most lavish in China's history with a reported estimate of US$31 million.[9] That same month, Yeung sued a Ruili clinic for US$80,000 for referring to her as a recipient of plastic surgery. An examination she underwent at a Beijing hospital concluded that the claim was most likely slanderous.[10]
