Perspective
Huang spoke about his first two relationships during his 2017 appearance on The Jin Xing Show, though he did not reveal their names. His first relationship was with a schoolmate while he was studying at Guangdong Dance School during his secondary education. The relationship lasted three years but ended when Huang moved to Beijing after graduation to continue his studies, while she stayed in Guangdong. His second relationship, also with a schoolmate, took place during his time at Beijing Dance Academy. This relationship lasted four years but ended a year after his university graduation.[24][25]
Huang was briefly in a relationship with actress Li Qian after collaborating on Feng Xiaogang’s film Back to 1942, which began filming in October 2011. The relationship ended by early 2012. In 2016, Huang was rumored to be dating South Korean actress Song Ha-yoon. He later clarified on The Jin Xing Show that the relationship ended before it officially began, partly due to a language barrier: “We tried to start a relationship but quickly realized we weren’t compatible, so it ended shortly thereafter.”[24][25] In September 2024, Huang announced that he was in a relationship with a British Chinese model, though he did not reveal her name.[26]
