After graduating from Temasek Polytechnic in 2012, he was given a role in Singaporean movie Timeless Love.

Personal life
[edit]On 3 November 2017, Xu and Evelyn Wang Yifei held their wedding ceremony in Singapore.[2] They subsequently held two more ceremonies in their respective hometowns, Fujian and Wuhan.[3] Wang is a Beijing Film Academy graduate who chose to help in her family's property business instead of entering the entertainment industry.[4] Both met at a mutual friend's party in 2014.[4] However, their relationship was kept hidden as NoonTalk Media, Xu's managing agency, had a dating ban for all its artistes, which was lifted in 2016 for Xu and Aloysius Pang as they had "reached the right age".[4]
On 10 July 2018, Xu announced the birth of his first child, a son, Ethan Xu.[5][6] Ethan's name was among the English names shortlisted by Aloysius Pang before his death who was asked to help to give the baby an English name.[7] On 12 March 2021, Xu announced the birth of his second child, a daughter, named Elyse.[7][8] As of 2022[ref], the Xu family is based in Singapore.[8]
