Last January, 41-year-old Chinese actor Hu Ge shocked everyone when he announced that he married his former assistant Huang Xining and they have a newborn daughter named Mo Li.
Photos of the new Mrs Hu are few and far between, which only fuelled the curiosity of netizens on how she actually looks. And of course, expectations ran high given how Hu Ge is one of China’s most famous heartthrobs.
A series of photos of Xining, who had short hair at that time, went viral last year.
We’re not sure if the person who took the pics deliberately chose the worst angles of Xining, but the photos weren’t exactly flattering.
At that time, netizens criticised Xining’s looks, calling her “really ugly”. They also compared her to Hu Ge’s ex-girlfriends Chinese actresses Xue Jianing and Jiang Shuying, both of whom are known for their beauty.
A year later, netizen opinion on Xining seems to have changed.
Recently, the couple was recently snapped shopping at a supermarket.
In the pics, Hu Ge was pushing a shopping cart and walking towards his car with his wife.
The couple then loaded their groceries into the boot together before driving off.
What caught the eyes of netizens was how petite Xining looked next to the 1.85m star.
Not only did they describe the couple as having the “cutest height difference”, netizens also praised the actor for pushing the shopping cart himself.
Um, okay…
