Personal life[]
On 3 November 2017, Xu and Evelyn Wang Yifei conducted their first wedding ceremony in Singapore.[1] They subsequently held two more ceremonies in their respective hometowns, Fujian and Wuhan.[2] Wang is a Beijing Film Academy graduate who chose to help in her family's property business instead of entering the entertainment industry.[3] Both met at a mutual friend's party in 2014.[3] However, their relationship was kept hidden as NoonTalk Media, Xu's managing agency, had a dating ban for all its artistes, which was lifted in 2016 for Xu and Aloysius Pang as they had "reached the right age".[3]
On 10 July 2018, Xu announced the birth of his son, Ethan Xu.[4][5][6] Ethan's name was among the English names shortlisted by Aloysius Pang before his death who was asked to help to give the baby an English name. On 12 March 2021, Xu announced the birth of his second child, a daughter, named Elyse. [6][7] As of 2021[ref], the Xu family is based in Singapore.[7]
