Taiwanese actors Ann Hsu and Roy Chiu welcome their first child, a boy
Some of the celebrity couple's friends in the entertainment industry reportedly received full-month gift boxes and were surprised to learn that Ann Hsu had given birth.
Taiwanese actress Ann Hsu and actor Roy Chiu have welcomed their first child after almost four years of marriage.
Hsu, who turned 41 on Aug 7, announced the news on Instagram on Aug 14. Posting a photo of a tiny foot nestled in the hands of two adults, she wrote in Chinese: 'We are doing fine.'
She did not give details on the baby's gender and date of birth, but Taiwanese media reported the child is a boy and was likely born in July.
China Times said in an exclusive report on Aug 14 that some of the celebrity couple's friends in the entertainment industry have received full-month gift boxes and were surprised to learn that Hsu had given birth.
The words 'Ian Baby 2025. Summer' were printed in the cards included in the full-month gift boxes sent by Hsu and Chiu, 43.
Also included was this message: 'Roy & Ann's baby Ian was born healthy and safe into this world. He already has his own ideas at such a young age. He loves to laugh, is a foodie, enjoys eating and bathing with his dad as well as listening to his mum's stories before going to sleep.'
Hsu and Chiu announced their marriage in December 2021 after playing lovers in Taiwanese romantic movie Man In Love (2021).
Their nuptials came as a surprise then as the pair had shied away from confirming their relationship until then, and they have hardly shared photos of themselves together on social media after getting hitched.
News of Hsu's pregnancy
was first reported by Mirror Daily in May . The Taiwanese news outlet quoted a source close to the low-profile couple that Hsu was four months pregnant then.
Hsu had cut down on her public appearances earlier in 2025 and turned down job offers after starring in the critically acclaimed Taiwanese series Imperfect Us (2024), which won her Best Leading Actress in a Miniseries or Television Film at Taiwan's Golden Bell Awards.
She was spotted with a visible baby bump by Taiwan's Mirror Media in June while shopping in Taipei's Xinyi Shopping District. The Taiwanese media said then that she looked to be in at least her seventh month of pregnancy.
The baby's arrival is also a double blessing for Chiu, who is starring in Taiwanese actress Shu Qi's directorial feature film debut, Girl.
The Taiwanese coming-of-age drama will hold its world premiere in the main competition of the Venice Film Festival in September, where it has been shortlisted for the prestigious Golden Lion award.

Move over, Labubu – Chiikawa is the new craze in Hong Kong
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox A bird's eye view of one of the two outdoor zones of the Chiikawa Days exhibition in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong. – Step aside, Labubu – there's a new sensation in town. Meet Chiikawa, a small and cute hamster-like character from a popular Japanese manga series whose creations and merchandise have now taken Hong Kong by storm. Chiikawa , the titular character, has a big round face and beady eyes. It is gentle, timid, and prone to tears . Its name is derived from a Japanese phrase that means 'something small and cute'. It does not talk, but can sing ' u uwawa uwa '. The manga series started as a web comic on Twitter in 2020 , following the adventures of Chiikawa and friends – including Hachiware, a cheerful cat-like creature, and Usagi, a fearless rabbit-like character – as they navigate daily challenges at work and celebrate small wins . The story was adapted into a TV anime series in Japan in 2022. For Chiikawa fans like Ms Elizabeth Chow, the appeal goes far beyond its cuteness. While the cartoon might appear like it caters only to children, its storylines and characters address deeper issues that strike a chord with adults, said Ms Chow. For example , the characters work in menial jobs like weed pulling or fruit labelling to make ends meet . Living from pay cheque to pay cheque, they have to budget for simple pleasures like treats and meals with friends. 'Although the setting is 'kawaii' (cute) on the surface, it is an adult world where the characters have to face everyday hurdles and stress,' said Ms Chow, a finance industry worker who started following the series in 2025 after her friends shared it with her. 'With their friends' support during periods of burnout, they navigate and achieve every minor but meaningful victory. These stories offer therapeutic and comforting experiences, as viewers witness the support and perseverance displayed by the characters in overcoming their daily struggles that mirror the viewers' own anxieties.' The anime offers a form of 'empathic escapism', showing that 'it's okay to struggle – as long as we stay resilient and persist, we will find joy in life', Ms Chow said. Going viral Hong Kongers' interest in Chiikawa started in 2024, with online searches for the comic character rising steadily across the year, according to Google Trends. But the craze truly took off around the summer of 2025, when more Chiikawa merchandise and exclusive products from brand collaborations arrived in Hong Kong and were quickly snapped up by fans. The queue for the 'one time chance' to buy Chiikawa merchandise from the exhibition. ST PHOTO: MAGDALENE FUNG The city's first Chiikawa pop-up store with Instagrammable photo spots opened at Tsim Sha Tsui's Harbour City mall in April and immediately drew snaking overnight queues . Brands like Uniqlo, Converse, Casetify, Chow Tai Fook and 7-Eleven started launching limited-edition Chiikawa collections of apparel, sneakers, mobile phone cases, jewellery, tumblers, keychains and so on. Merchandise like Chiikawa phone covers are being sold in a tie-up with Hong Kong phone cover brand Casetify. ST PHOTO: MAGDALENE FUNG By July, the adorable characters could be seen everywhere across the city, even at MTR stations where gantry gates played Chiikawa sound effects as passengers tapped their cards. In late July, McDonald's started offering Chiikawa-themed Happy Meal toys. A week later, the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) and Trade Development Council (HKTDC) jointly launched and promoted a large-scale exhibition that centred on the comic character . The Chiikawa Days exhibition features life-size interactive 3D displays and the characters in the form of dim sum dishes like har kow and siew mai. ST PHOTO: MAGDALENE FUNG The Chiikawa Days exhibition, which features life-size interactive 3D displays and the characters in the form of dim sum dishes like har kow and siew mai, opened on Aug 1 at the K11 Musea mall in Tsim Sha Tsui. Originally slated to run for three weeks, it was extended to end-August on opening day after the first two rounds of tickets sold out within 30 minutes. Unscrupulous scalpers are reselling the HK$180 (S$29) tickets for as much as HK$500. Exclusive collector sets of figurines from the event are also being resold online at up to five times their retail price. A special Chiikawa-themed ramen restaurant is set to open on Aug 16 at the Langham Place mall in Mong Kok. The Chiikawa Ramen Buta store will be the first such restaurant to open outside of Japan, which has four eateries of the same theme. Mental refuge Psychologist Adrian Low attributes the popularity of Chiikawa in Hong Kong to a combination of psychological, cultural and marketing factors. 'The character's innocence and positivity provide a mental refuge from daily pressures in a fast-paced, high-stress city like Hong Kong,' said Dr Low, chairman of the Hong Kong Association of Psychology. Second, he said, Hong Kongers' longstanding appreciation for Japanese pop culture, in particular the 'kawaii' (cute) aesthetic, makes Chiikawa 'instantly appealing'. Third, the HKTB and HKTDC's 'aggressive marketing campaigns also created a sense of exclusivity and urgency, with social media amplification further fuelling the craze as people seek to participate in a shared cultural moment '. 'The collective enthusiasm for Chiikawa fosters a sense of community. Owning merchandise or attending events thus becomes a way to connect with others and feel like a part of a larger trend,' the psychologist noted. At the Chiikawa Days exhibition, fans sported Chiikawa T-shirts, hairbands and clips, carried bags with transparent pockets showing off their personal Chiikawa collection, and posed for photos with their plushies in front of the displays.

ST PHOTO: MAGDALENE FUNG Ms Amelie Chan, a fan in her 20s, treasured her experience at the exhibition, which she attended alone in early August as the tickets were 'not easy to get'. 'I first started liking Chiikawa because they are so cute; watching the anime of these pure and innocent characters helps me to relax after a long day at work,' said Ms Chan, a legal professional. 'They are also very relatable,' she said, recalling a scene where Hachiware had to save up to buy a camera, which reminded her of her own childhood. The Chiikawa Days exhibition was extended to end-August on opening day after the first two rounds of tickets sold out within 30 minutes. ST PHOTO: MAGDALENE FUNG Chiikawa versus McDull Hong Kong's Chiikawa craze echoes a similar wave of enthusiasm in an animated pig called McDull , created by local cartoonists in the mid-1990s. It took the city by storm in the 2000s and again in the 2010s. The daily challenges faced by McDull – a very ordinary but kind-hearted pig born to a single parent – reflected the city's struggles and aspirations during a period of economic uncertainty and political transition, according to Dr Low. 'His underdog story and perseverance resonated deeply with Hong Kongers, symbolising resilience and hope,' he said. Chiikawa, meanwhile, 'doesn't carry heavy societal messages but provides a light-hearted escape… a form of emotional relief in a highly competitive and polarised society', he noted. For brand strategist Ken Ip , Chiikawa's 'blend of vulnerability, perseverance and subtle melancholy mirrors the emotional state of many urban youths in Hong Kong who feel overwhelmed, yet continue to quietly push through'. The comic character's merchandise thus 'becomes a vessel for self-expression and emotional connection', said Dr Ip, an assistant professor at Saint Francis University's Rita Tong Liu School of Business and Hospitality Management. 'Being seen at a Chiikawa pop-up, lining up for exclusive merch, or sharing themed coffee photos, is as much about social currency as it is about fandom .' Soft power hub Displays at the outdoor zone of the Chiikawa Days exhibition include the characters featuring in local dimsum dishes and against the city's iconic skyline. ST PHOTO: MAGDALENE FUNG What makes Hong Kong's Chiikawa craze particularly special , Dr Ip said, is how much effort the local authorities have put in to spearhead and promote the campaigns centred on the anime character, in a bid to boost consumption and tourism. HKTB partnered major travel agencies to offer packages that include exhibition tickets, flights and hotel stays. It also worked with online platforms like Klook to offer special packages targeting South-east Asian markets including Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia , where Chiikawa is also gaining some popularity. 'This distinctive phenomenon reflects a broader shift in how Hong Kong positions itself as a soft power hub in the region,' Dr Ip said. 'It isn't just about pop culture. It's part of a strategic recognition that emotional consumer experiences – particularly those anchored in lifestyle, IP, and tourism – are now legitimate economic drivers.' IP refers to intellectual property, intangible creative designs or symbols used in commerce. 'The government understands that traditional economic levers like finance and logistics must now be complemented by cultural and creative industries,' he added. Hong Kong's retail economy has been struggling post-pandemic. Retail sales finally started ticking up only in May, after falling for 14 months straight as tourists spent less and local consumers shopped and dined in Shenzhen instead. 'By supporting or co-branding with IP-led experiences, agencies like HKTB are essentially turning fandom into foot traffic, and foot traffic into economic recovery,' Dr Ip said. AllRightsReserved, the creative brand that designed and organised Hong Kong's Chiikawa Days exhibition, said 30 per cent of visitors to the event are tourists from abroad and that it expects attendance to reach hundreds of thousands by the end of August. Its founder, Mr S.K. Lam , said the exhibition sought to 'blend Chiikawa with iconic Hong Kong culture to create a stronger emotional connection with visitors', which it achieved by featuring the characters alongside Hong Kong's dim sum traditions and against the backdrop of the city's skyline.

ST PHOTO: MAGDALENE FUNG 'Our aim is to demonstrate how IP can integrate with a city to boost tourism, retail, dining, and the wider cultural economy,' Mr Lam said. Ms Chan, the legal professional , already has a range of Chiikawa collectibles and apparel, and is happy to shell out for more related experiences and merchandise. 'I see shades of myself in the characters, so they mean a lot to me,' she said. 'As a child, I could not afford to collect such items, but as a working adult now, I can.'

Brittney Marie Jones: Kelly Clarkson's Ex-Assistant Cheated on Her Husband With Brandon Blackstock and Was Living With Him at the Time of His Death
Kelly Clarkson's ex-assistant is allegedly who had an affair with Brandon Blackstock, allegedly cheated on her husband, according to a report. According to a source, Jones's now ex-husband, Greg LaPoint, found out about her alleged affair with the music executive in the summer of 2023, a source told Page Six, which was the first to report on the cheating scandal. "He got screwed over due to [Jones and Blackstock's] fling starting during his marriage," the insider told Page Six. Court documents obtained by Page Six reveal that the Jones married Gypsy Nights drummer Greg LaPoint on August 13, 2021. Evidence of their marriage still appears on his social media accounts. Cheating and an Affair Brittney Marie Jones Facebook In a September 11, 2022, Instagram post, the "Favorite Escape" musician wrote, "Can't believe it's already been a year since we said, 'I do.'" "I can not imagine a world without you by my side, a partner who is as real as they come. A lover, cuddler and sure spit fire. I am forever grateful I get to call you my wife," he added. Although LaPoint acknowledged at the time that every relationship has its highs and lows, he ended his heartfelt message by saying, "I will always be the one you can count on to lift you up." Brittney Marie Jones Facebook Sources told that when LaPoint learned of his wife's alleged affair, he immediately asked her to file for divorce. According to court documents obtained by Page Six, she filed on July 13, 2023, citing "irreconcilable differences." Jones, however, listed their separation date as January 2023 — even though LaPoint shared a photo of them happily hiking that same month. Court records show their divorce was finalized in February 2024. While Jones is accused of being unfaithful, multiple sources told Page Six that Blackstock did not have an affair with her while still married to Clarkson. Brandon Blackstock and Kelly Clarkson. Instagram According to two insiders, the music executive and the "Since U Been Gone" singer were divorced "long before" his relationship with the former assistant began. One source added that Blackstock "slipped away to Montana" after his high-profile breakup, keeping many details of his romance out of the public eye. Shocking Secret Affair The public first learned of Jones's relationship with Blackstock through an obituary following his recent death from cancer, which described her as his "beautiful and loving partner in life and business" and that they had started "building a life, building companies, and working tirelessly to create Headwaters Livestock Auction." Brandon Blackstock with Brittney Marie Jones Facebook The two had known each other for years, as Jones worked for Clarkson from 2018 to 2022 — during the talk show host's marital struggles — managing her daily schedule, according to her LinkedIn profile. During that time, Jones also served as Blackstock's executive assistant and later continued working with him at his Valley View Rodeo. Clarkson has never addressed the infidelity allegations. However, court filings revealed she said that the "level of conflict" between herself and the father of her two children had "increased" and that they had a "difficult time co-parenting due to issues of trust between them." Jones was living with Blackstock in the period leading up to his death. Public records suggest she had been living at his nearly $1.7 million Montana estate since at least April 2024. By that time, Blackstock had been single for several years, having separated from Clarkson in 2020, with their divorce finalized in 2022. Clarkson was reportedly not fond of her ex's new relationship, with a source telling the Daily Mail it was "the icing on the cake of the disappointment." Still, the two women managed to remain cordial, as the insider noted, "Kelly understood that Brittney wouldn't cause any issues between her and her children, and there was never any misunderstanding between them." Jones appeared to be deeply in love with Blackstock, as her father recently shared on Facebook that the businessman was his daughter's true "soulmate." "Yesterday we lost a good man Brandon Blackstock my daughter's soulmate and I considered him my son," he wrote after the music manager lost his three-year melanoma battle at age 48. Blackstock died on Aug. 7 after a long battle with melanoma, an aggressive type of skin cancer. His family shared the heartbreaking news in a statement. Brittney Marie Jones Facebook "It is with great sadness that we share the news that Brandon Blackstock has passed away. Brandon bravely battled cancer for more than three years," Blackstock's loved ones said. "He passed away peacefully and was surrounded by family," they added. "We thank you for your thoughts and prayers and ask everyone to respect the family's privacy during this very difficult time." Silver Bow County Coroner Dan Hollis later verified that the talent manager "died peacefully" from melanoma at his residence in Butte, Montana.
