Personal life
Huang spoke about his first two relationships during his 2017 appearance on The Jin Xing Show, though he did not reveal their names. His first relationship was with a schoolmate while he was studying at Guangdong Dance School during his secondary education. The relationship lasted three years but ended when Huang moved to Beijing after graduation to continue his studies, while she stayed in Guangdong. His second relationship, also with a schoolmate, took place during his time at Beijing Dance Academy. This relationship lasted four years but ended a year after his university graduation.{{Cite web |last=腾讯网 |date=2020-07-01 |title=黄轩三段情史：初恋在广州，最爱是师姐_腾讯新闻 |url=https://news.qq.com/rain/a/20200701A0LXQN00 |access-date=2024-12-25 |website=news.qq.com |language=zh-CN}}{{Cite web |last=sina_mobile |date=2017-03-30 |title=黄轩大方自曝三段情史 首度坦诚恋情令人咋舌 |url=https://ent.sina.cn/star/tv/2017-03-30/detail-ifycwunr8178906.d.html |access-date=2024-12-25 |website=ent.sina.cn}}
Huang was briefly in a relationship with actress Li Qian after collaborating on Feng Xiaogang’s film Back to 1942, which began filming in October 2011. The relationship ended by early 2012. In 2016, Huang was rumored to be dating South Korean actress Song Ha-yoon. He later clarified on The Jin Xing Show that the relationship ended before it officially began, partly due to a language barrier: “We tried to start a relationship but quickly realized we weren’t compatible, so it ended shortly thereafter.” In September 2024, Huang announced that he was in a relationship with a British Chinese model, though he did not reveal her name.{{Cite web |title=39岁黄轩官宣恋情，女方身份曝光，全网震惊：竟然是她？ {{!}} 极目新闻 |url=https://www.ctdsb.net/c1742_202409/2262789.html |access-date=2024-12-25 |website=www.ctdsb.net}}
Controversy
In 2021, Huang terminated his endorsement contract with the clothing manufacturer H&M after it criticized China for human rights violations against Uyghurs in the Xinjiang region of China where cotton for clothing products is grown.McDonald, Joe (March 25, 2021) [https://apnews.com/article/china-boycott-hm-over-xinjiang-9e9a27b7179bd7a34330b8325ac37cdb "China attacks foreign clothing, shoe brands over Xinjiang."] APNews.
