EXO’s former member Tao has shared exciting updates with fans after tying the knot with Shiyang, a former SM Entertainment trainee and member of the SM Rookies group.

On January 2, Tao took to his personal social media to wish his followers a "Happy New Year." Along with his greeting, Tao shared adorable photos with his new wife, Shiyang. In the pictures, the couple can be seen looking happy and affectionate, with one photo showing them on stage together and another showing them posing lovingly inside a car.

Tao and Shiyang had been the subject of dating rumors since 2020. However, it wasn’t until July of the previous year that Tao confirmed their relationship, which sparked more rumors about a possible pre-marital pregnancy.

Last month, Tao and Shiyang made headlines when they officially announced their marriage, sharing their marriage certificate issued in China, exciting fans everywhere.

Tao, who debuted as a member of EXO-M in 2012, left the group in 2015 due to a contract dispute with SM Entertainment. Since then, he has been focusing on his career in China.

Fans are sending their best wishes to Tao and Shiyang as they begin their new chapter together as a married couple.
