SINGAPORE - Mediacorp actor Xu Bin is getting married.

In an Instagram post on his account @xubin_ on Monday (Oct 9) night, he shared a video of himself saying: "Everyone, I have some very blissful news to share. I am getting married."

The 28-year-old did not share any information about his wife-to-be Yi Fei, but said that he would be holding a press conference on Tuesday, where he will answer any questions about his upcoming nuptials.

Until then, fans get to glimpse his bride in a picture posted on Xu's artiste management agency NoonTalk Media's Instagram page (@noontalk_ media) on Monday night. In the photo, the couple are seen decked out in full wedding gear on a beach in the Maldives.
