Yang Ying (born 28 February 1989), better known by her stage name Angelababy, is a Chinese-born model, actress, and singer based in Hong Kong. Her stage name came from the combination of her English name "Angela" and her nickname "Baby". She is chosen by Southern Metropolis Daily as one of the New Four Dan Actresses.
Yang Ying was born on 28 February 1989 in Shanghai, to a father from Hong Kong, who is of half Chinese and half German descent, and a Shanghainese mother from Shanghai. Her birth name is Yang Ying (Cantonese: Yeung Wing). Her father runs a fashion business in Shanghai. She gained an interest in fashion as a child under her father's influence. She said in an interview, "Even though he [her father] sells more mature clothes, I loved going to his store and trying on new outfits, and mixing and matching them. It was fun. I think that's how I developed a passion for fashion".
Yang moved to Hong Kong when she was thirteen, and signed a modeling contract with Style International Management at the age of 14. Although her English name is Angela, she was sometimes called "Baby" during her primary and secondary school years. She combined these two names to form her stage name, Angelababy. She speaks Mandarin, Cantonese, Shanghainese and English.
Angelababy debuted as an actress in the movie Trival Matters in 2007, where she had a 5-minute cameo in the film. She then starred in numerous films as supporting roles, as well as appearing in music videos. In 2011, Angelababy had her first leading role in the film Love You You alongside Eddie Peng. She sung a duet with JJ Lin titled "Bottom of the Heart" as part of the movie's soundtrack.
In 2012, Angelababy starred in Black & White Episode I: The Dawn of Assault. She reunited with co-star Mark Chao in another film, First Time, a remake of the 2003 Korean movie. Her performance garnered her Most Anticipated Actress award at the 13th Chinese Film Media Awards. The same year, she starred in kungfu comedy, Tai Chi O and its sequel Tai Chi Hero.
