– Angelababy moved to Hong Kong at age 13, and also signed a contract with a talent management
– Angela attended Sacred Heart Canossian Commercial School in Hong Kong.
– The actress went by her English name Angela since young, but people close to her found it hard to pronounce, and thus gave her the nickname ”Baby” since she had some baby fat during her primary and secondary school years.
– When the actress started emcee-ing for a Disney program, she combined the two names (her first name and her nickname) to avoid confusion – thus going by  “Angelababy”  as her stage name!
– The actress can speak 5 languages: Mandarin, Cantonese, Shanghainese, English, and Japanese!

– She even went to a doctor in Beijing to publicly examine her face (in front of her lawyer and the press) to verify that her iconic facial features were indeed natural. The doctor declared that she had never gone under the knife.
– In comparison to old pictures, Angelababy’s current facial features seem different, but that was due to having braces which changed her face shape.

Angelababy Fandom Facts!
– Her fandom name is 杨家将 (yang jia jiang), which means “Warriors of the Yang family”.

– Fans call Huang Xiaoming and Angelababy as the “Sponge couple” – 海绵夫妇 (hai mian fu fu).
Before publicly confirming their relationship and when rumors of their relationship still swirled, Angelababy would often mention the term “Sponge cake” on Weibo. The pronunciation of “Sponge cake” in Cantonese is similar to the Cantonese pronunciation of [brother] Xiaoming’s name (晓明大哥), which is why the HongKong media dubbed the pair as “Sponge couple” even after they got married.
– The pair’s son was thus nicknamed “Little Sponge”小海绵 (xiao hai mian)which also symbolized the couple’s love.
