Chinese supermodel Ming Xi has married Mario Ho — son of the late Macau casino magnate Stanley Ho — in a star-studded ceremony staged at the medieval island abbey of Mont Saint-Michel in northern France. The wedding, held on June 1, 2026, was the first ever celebrated inside the 1,000-year-old abbey, a one-year undertaking arranged with the Centre des Monuments Nationaux. For the occasion the bride wore a custom Christian Dior Haute Couture gown, Vogue reported.
The couple — who were legally married back in 2019 and have two children — chose the formal ceremony now, sharing the first images on Ming Xi's own social media on June 2. See the official post below:

From the Shanghai runways to Mont Saint-Michel
Ming Xi first broke through after being scouted in China and quickly became a fixture on the European couture circuit, walking for the houses whose craftsmanship would later define her wedding day. A Victoria's Secret runway regular, she helped open the door for a generation of Chinese models on the global stage — making the choice of a bespoke Dior gown, and a venue as storied as Mont Saint-Michel, read as a statement about how far that journey has come. The marriage also unites two high-profile worlds: Ho, an esports entrepreneur and scion of one of Asia's best-known business dynasties, and one of fashion's most recognisable international models.
