Yang Caiyu Announces Motherhood, Shares Inspiring Pregnancy Workout Video

In the early hours of September 20, actress Yang Caiyu delighted fans by dropping what many called a “happiness bomb” on social media—officially announcing that she has become a mother. Instead of following the usual celebrity route of sharing baby photos, Yang chose a unique and powerful way to share her joy: by posting a video of herself working out during pregnancy. In the clip, she confidently shows her baby bump while training under professional guidance, captioning it with the words, “At any time, be the best version of yourself. I am grateful to be a mom.” Her discipline and vitality immediately went viral, with netizens praising her as “the role model of a new-generation mom.”

This announcement was more than a simple reveal—it was a formal response to months of public speculation. Throughout 2025, Yang’s pregnancy had been followed closely by the media and the public. In February, she was photographed kissing a young man on the street before visiting a hospital for a prenatal checkup, sparking rumors of her pregnancy. By April, during a trip to Japan, her baby bump was already evident. In July, Hong Kong media reported that she had given birth to a baby boy and was staying in an exclusive postpartum center costing HK$180,000 a month. Yet, despite all the talk, Yang remained silent until now—just under two months after giving birth—when she finally revealed the news herself, already showing a slim, graceful figure.

The father is said to be Zhang Xiangrong, grandson of Zhang Hua’an, the founder of Jinlu Group. Around 30 years old and a graduate of Columbia University’s finance program, he oversees his family’s overseas business. Photos of the couple’s vacations show him tall, stylish, and handsome—so much so that many netizens joked he could pass for a movie star.

Their love story began at the end of 2024 during a charity auction where Yang was seeking investment for her stage project. Their relationship quickly blossomed: by February 2025, their romance was exposed, and pregnancy rumors followed soon after, making it truly a “double blessing.” On September 10, Yang shared their first official couple photo while vacationing in Indonesia, with Zhang declaring his love in grand fashion by arranging drones to spell out “ORA” (Yang’s English name) in the night sky.

The news inevitably drew comparisons to Yang’s much-discussed past relationship. In 2017, she was openly involved with businessman Chen Jinfei, who was 30 years her senior, until their breakup in 2022. This time, however, the pairing feels more balanced—similar in age, background, and lifestyle—which has earned overwhelming support and congratulations from fans. Many commented with delight, “This time, she finally chose the right one.”

From a controversial past romance to a relationship that exudes harmony and shared strength, Yang Caiyu’s personal journey reflects the very message she wrote beneath her video: to always strive to be the best version of oneself.
