Hong Kong actor Brian Wong, 58, is expecting a second child with his wife, former designer Lilian Chan, also 58.
The former TVB actor, who is known for his supporting roles, announced the news on social media on May 5. The couple, who tied the knot in 2010, have a six-year-old daughter, Miracle, nicknamed Faye Faye.
“Mother’s Day special: Faye’s dream of becoming an elder sister is coming true,” Wong wrote in Chinese on social media, using hashtags such as #ADifferentMothersDay and #HappyFamilyOfFour.
The artiste, who is also a swimming coach, was congratulated by several netizens, while some expressed concern for his wife’s health.
In 2019, Chan suffered from pre-eclampsia due to a sharp rise in blood pressure while carrying Miracle, and had to be admitted to the intensive care unit for observation after delivery.
Wong told HK01 that his wife is five months pregnant and due to give birth in September.
He said they had been planning to have another child for the sake of their daughter.
Chan told the Hong Kong media outlet that she had conceived naturally a year ago, but was devastated when the baby stopped growing at 12 weeks. Doctors had then suggested in-vitro fertilisation. – The Straits Times/Asia News Network
