Huang Yiqing, the bussiness tycoon husband of Chinese actress Huang Yi, has confirmed yesterday that his celebrity wife is to file for divorce at the Shanghai Civil Affairs Bureau yesterday.
The tycoon wrote via Weibo that Huang Yi promised to go through with the divorce and grant him custody of their child in the presence of a group of friends and photographers.
The couple's turbulent marriage came into the public eye in mid June when Hong Kong-based Next Magazine ran a story alleging that Huang Yi cheated on her husband. The actress quickly denied the allegation via Weibo.
In the same post, she published photos of herself with bruises on her forehead, claiming she was the victim of domestic abuse at the hands of her husband. Yiqing denied the charge and said the actress faked her injuries.
Huang Yi is famous for her leading role in the third season of the TV show, "Princess Pearl," back in 2003.
