Xie Yiyang, wife of former EXO member Tao, recently acknowledged that she had given birth to a son.
On the 16th, Xie Yiyang revealed during a live broadcast that she had given birth to a son in 2024.
Regarding why she had kept the news of her childbirth hidden for two years, she explained, “I was not in good health at the time, and the intense criticism directed at me and Tao made it impossible for us to reveal the child.”
Xie Yiyang also refuted allegations that she had used a surrogate. She stated, “We have only one child, and I am the one who gave birth. Please stop spreading malicious rumors,” emphasizing, “Both my husband and I are Chinese, and our child is Chinese as well.”
She further disclosed, “The baby was delivered via cesarean section, and the scar is in a place that is not visible even when wearing a bikini.” She added, “Those who want to believe us can do so. If you do not wish to believe, there is nothing we can do about it.”

Previously, on the 15th, Xie Yiyang posted a photo and caption on her personal account that read, “The setting sun crosses the sea, and the one I love is by my side.” The revealed image showed Tao and Xie Yiyang standing on a beach, holding hands with a child. This sparked speculation that the couple already had a son.
The two have been embroiled in multiple rumors of pregnancy and surrogacy before and after their marriage. Pregnancy rumors arose when photos were released showing Xie Yiyang wearing loose clothing with what appeared to be a pregnant belly. Subsequently, surrogacy allegations surfaced following claims that the couple visited an obstetrics and gynecology clinic in Los Angeles, United States, and reports that Xie Yiyang’s mother was spotted holding a child near Tao’s residence.
At the time, Tao’s side denied the surrogacy allegations but did not disclose specific facts regarding whether or not she had given birth.
Meanwhile, Tao debuted as a member of the group EXO in 2012 but left the team in 2015. He has since been active in China as a singer, actor, and businessman. Xie Yiyang, a former trainee at SM Entertainment, married him in 2024 after a long period of dating rumors.
