Who is Angelababy? 6 facts in a nutshell on the star of Vogue's cover

VogueThe US edition has selected 14 "global players who know no bounds" for its April cover, putting Doona Bae and Deepika Padukone on either side of Scarlett Johansson in a version of the cover herself, and Adesua Etomi-Wellington and Angelababy alongside Elizabeth Debicki and Lea Seydoux on another.

Angelababy is one of the most famous faces of China (especially since Fan Bingbing disappeared) and is described by Vogue like "the Kim Kardashian of China" – yet, she is far from a well-known name outside the country. Here are six quick facts to help you become familiar with the star:

And no less than 7 million on Instagram. Fans enjoy makeup tips, Adidas promotions and many cute selfies.

She was in Independence Day: Resurgence

While she has played in many movies and TV shows in China, if you've seen her in anything, it's probably the The day of independence restart from 2016. That same year Forbes name her one of their top 30 Asian celebrities under 30 in the music, film and sports category.

Her husband is Huang Xiaoming, also a very famous actor in China.

He is not as emblematic as Angelababy, which has led some people to ask, "Why did she marry her?" (He is also – breathless! – 11 years old, his eldest.) It is still a big problem.

Huang courted controversy last year when he apparently admitted in an interview that the Angelababy actor game could still be improved. "This is not something to be ashamed of," he told a reporter: "Bad, it's bad."

Their wedding banquet would have cost $ 31 million

When Angelababy (whose real name is Yang Ying) married the beautiful and long-standing Huang in her hometown, Shanghai, in 2015, the energy couple would have spent almost as much as Kate and Williams' royal wedding expenses (about 34 million USD) ). Given this royal point of reference, Huang and Angelababy turned the Shanghai Exhibition Center into an imaginary princely bitten land.

Many celebrities attended the wedding, including Vicky Zhao, from TFBoys, and many others. Here is a recap if you are interested:

The name of his son is Little Sponge (小 海绵)

Angelababy and Huang Xiaoming have been dubbed online "sponge couple" after underlining similar pronunciations in Cantonese of "sponge cake" and "big brother Xiaoming" phrases. They owned it – and pbaded on the name to their son. Nickname: Fortunately, the kid has a more normal legal name.

So … why "Angelababy"?

It may seem a little strange, but it's quite simple: her English name is Angela and after receiving the nickname "Baby", she chose to badociate it for her stage name. It's at least a memorable experience.
