Former EXO member Tao is gearing up for what promises to be an explosive wedding to Chinese singer-actress Xu Yiyang this October. The couple confirmed the long-awaited news during a variety show, revealing plans for a star-studded, fan-inclusive celebration — a true wedding of the century.
From whispered rumors in 2020 to a public confirmation last year, Tao and Xu Yiyang’s romance has kept fans captivated. After registering their marriage in December, they’re now ready to celebrate in style. Soompi 2025 notes the pair’s enduring popularity across Asia.
The couple has been meticulously preparing for six months. Inspired by the lavish nuptials of Jay Chou and Huang Xiaoming, they’re aiming for a ceremony packed with glitz, glamour, and A-list attendees.
Over 100 fans will be invited with special reserved seating, a rare gesture that cements Tao’s reputation for connecting with his audience. Organizers are even considering a global livestream so no one misses the magic.
While the exact venue is under wraps, speculation is rife. Industry insiders are watching to see if Luhan, Tao’s former EXO bandmate, will attend. The duo’s recent performance of “Our Tomorrow” fuels hopes for a reunion.
Tao debuted with EXO in 2012 but left in 2015 after a contract dispute with SM Entertainment. Despite losing the legal battle, he has thrived in China’s entertainment industry. Xu Yiyang rose to fame via SM Rookies in 2016 before launching a career as both singer and actress.
Tabloids have long speculated about a secret pregnancy. Sightings of Xu at prenatal checkups in the US, shopping for baby goods, and a nanny with an infant have stirred the rumor mill — but the couple remains tight-lipped.
From designer gowns to bespoke stage sets, every detail is under scrutiny. This will not be a quick affair — it’s a meticulously choreographed spectacle designed to dazzle.
If broadcast online, the wedding could rival the most-watched celebrity events of the decade. With Tao’s massive fanbase in China and abroad, the numbers could be staggering. Variety 2025 predicts record-breaking engagement.
Despite intense public interest, Tao and Xu have skillfully balanced media exposure with their privacy — declining interviews about their private life while sharing carefully curated moments with fans.
With just weeks to go, anticipation is sky-high. This October, the explosive wedding of Tao and Xu Yiyang will cement their place as one of Asia’s most celebrated power couples.
From first meeting under SM Entertainment to four years of rumors and an eventual public reveal, every chapter has led to this moment.
