Hong Kong celebrity couple Bowie Cheung and Benjamin Yuen are set to welcome their second child.
The two TVB artistes have a son, Hayven, who turns two in November.
Cheung, 33, broke the news on social media on June 1, which is International Children's Day. Yuen, 44, was tagged in the post.
"Hayven has a small tummy, while Mummy has a big belly," Cheung wrote in Chinese. "In addition to duck, dog and giraffe, you will soon have another loved one to grow up with you and rely on."
Addressing her second child, she wrote: "Thank you bb for choosing our home. May you be safe, healthy and full of blessings in life."
While Cheung did not mention how far along she was, her baby bump was visible in the photos she posted of her carrying her son, who was holding ultrasound scans.
Yuen commented under the post: "Papa will continue to work hard." He included three face-blowing-a-kiss emojis.
The couple were congratulated by dozens of their celebrity pals, including new mothers Shiga Lin and Priscilla Wong.
Lin, 36, gave birth to a baby girl in July 2024, while Wong, 43, gave birth to a son in March.
Cheung was a Miss Hong Kong pageant contestant in 2016 before she became an actress.
Meanwhile, Yuen won the Mr Hong Kong title in 2007, which kick-started his acting career. He is known for roles in TVB dramas such as the Line Walker series (2014 to 2020) and The Defected (2019).
The couple met while working together on the travel reality show All Work No Pay Holidays in 2017. They tied the knot in November 2020 and Cheung gave birth to their son on Nov 17, 2023.

Ayden Sng sells his 'go-to' drink Milo Dinosaur in China cafe for reality show Smile at You, Entertainment News

Local actor Ayden Sng, who is growing his showbiz career in China now, is also spreading our culture overseas. The 31-year-old, who is currently a participant in new Chinese reality show Smile at You where he operates cafe uSweet in Harbin with four others, has introduced our kopitiam drink Milo Dinosaur to the menu. In a uSweet cafe's Xiaohongshu post on Wednesday (June 4), they posted a picture of a cup of iced Milo Dinosaur with the caption: "Milo Dinosaur is a specialty drink originating from Singapore. It is very popular in Southeast Asia and Singapore's first Olympic gold medalist Joseph Schooling's favourite. "At the same time, it's also our Singaporean actor and uSweet cafe store manager Ayden's go-to drink. This drink has always been at the top of the list of must-have Singapore delicacies." Milo Dinosaur, sold in eateries in Singapore and Malaysia, is a cold chocolate malt beverage topped with undissolved Milo powder. In a fancam posted on the platform yesterday, Ayden is also seen making the drink while a fan engaged him in small talk. Netizens who had visited the Harbin cafe and ordered the chocolate malt drink also commented in uSweet's post that it tasted good. Smile at You, which premiered last Thursday (May 29) on streaming platform iQiyi, is a reality show involving 35 young men who undergo a month of professional training including business management, product development and customer service, and are divided into groups to travel to different cities in China to run a cafe. Some of the judges and trainers include former Exo member and businessman Huang Zitao, director-actor Tang Guoqiang and singer-host Wu Yi. In the first episode, when the young men had to mingle and find their roommates, Russian-Korean twin influencers Denis and Kirill had trouble understanding and communicating in Mandarin because their translating device had not arrived on the set. Ayden approached the duo and helped them discuss with the participants to come up with a suitable rooming arrangement for the brothers. In additional content released on June 1, he also helped Denis while they practised customer service and greeting customers. He also practised making cakes and biscuits with a participant, Chinese swimmer Chen Mucheng, on a few evenings where they discussed procedures and ingredients. While there were some charred products, other participants who tried his products praised his effort. In the third episode released on Thursday, participants had to work in pairs to present desserts and coffee to the judges, including their baking instructors. Ayden chose to create his own recipe using what he had learned in his baking lessons for the past few weeks. He said: "If you're a consumer, would you want to eat a basque cheesecake, tiramisu or black forest cake? Or would you prefer to eat something that the pastry chef invented which you have never tried before? "So this time, I insisted on not using the recipes I already have. I really want to create something that belongs to me. The cake is combined from what the pastry chefs had taught us from the first lesson till now." He added that his product is an eight-layer cake, and each layer is made with different steps. When presenting his final product to the judges later, Ayden specially dedicated the cake to one of the pastry chefs who taught him. He said: "I've always wanted to learn how to bake, but I've been filming for the past few years. So, it has become something that I've always wanted to do but never got around to because I don't have the time. I'm really very happy to be guided by the mentors. I really like to be in the kitchen." Despite his efforts, he wasn't given a pass by the judges. In the latest episode yesterday, while two of the chefs commended his efforts, they were concerned about food safety, as Ayden had placed cling wrap around the cake before baking it in the oven. Smile at You releases new episodes every Thursday and Friday at 12pm on iQiyi. Ayden's new Chinese drama Feud , which stars Bai Lu and Joseph Zeng, is currently streaming on iQiyi and Viu.

During a live broadcast on fan platform Weverse with fellow member Lara on June 6 , the 19-year-old shared her identity with fans, stating: 'I'm coming out. I'm bisexual.' The two celebrated the moment together, jumping in place with joy. Megan, who has a Singaporean-Chinese mother and American-Swedish father, debuted in the US with the six-member group in 2024. This marks the second coming out within the group. Back in March, Lara revealed her sexual orientation through a Weverse live broadcast. She shared that she realised she was attracted to women as early as the age of eight, and confessed that she was deeply afraid when auditioning. 'I didn't know if people would accept me. I was scared it might ruin my chances,' she wrote at the time.

E-Junkies: Katy Kung agreed to do tough labour in TVB reality show because 'might as well choose the most challenging one', Entertainment News

Hong Kong actress Katy Kung is an example of an artiste who goes all the way for her work, despite the challenging parts of the assignment. In a recent episode of TVB reality series A Day With A Pro, where artistes try out tough jobs, the 35-year-old is seen going all out as a maintenance worker, cleaning out cockroaches and faece-filled drainage systems. Speaking to AsiaOne on May 31 at StarHub's new flagship store in Paragon she said: "A lot of people asked why my company assigned me to do this show. That's actually not the case, they had asked me beforehand if I was okay to do related work like this. "I feel that since I agreed to do this, then I might as well choose the most challenging one. It was an unforgettable experience to have a chance to be exposed to work like this." Katy also recalled vividly of an instance where she opened up a drain cover and cockroaches skittered towards her. "I got quite a shock because they were running in my direction. If they were going in the opposite direction, then maybe I wouldn't be so afraid... I am actually okay seeing cockroaches, so long as they don't fly," she shared. She added that she experienced the tasks of a maintenance worker for two days for filming and while it was tough work, she also didn't want to delay the staff members. Katy shared: "To be honest, it was really tiring, but this was also a job where I had to coordinate with the other maintenance workers. So, I told myself that I needed to work faster, or they would have a difficult time too. "I couldn't just think about myself because everyone was also tired. It was a very hot day and there were no clouds at all. I just told myself to get the task done quickly so that the workers wouldn't have a tough time as well." A staff member offered her a lift home and told her later that the smell actually lingered in their vehicle for a few days.

She shared that she was last in Singapore about six years ago and looked forward to eating local food, especially black pepper crabs that evening. View this post on Instagram A post shared by AsiaOne (@asiaonecom) Katy arrived on May 31 and fans gathered at the airport to warmly welcome her. When asked how she felt meeting her fans, she said: "I actually felt quite apologetic today, because there was a delay, and I came out of the arrival hall late. But they were all waiting for me. "I had told them earlier not to come because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to take photos or sign autographs for them, but they were so nice, they waited for me for a long time and were also very enthusiastic. They even bought a pandan cake for me knowing that I love eating it." View this post on Instagram A post shared by hktvbfan (@hktvbfan) Katy also introduced her upcoming TVB drama The Map of Truth, which is expected to be released this year. She shared: "The title of the drama sounds like a variety show, but actually it's a drama. There is a small element of suspense, but it's also a touching story. There may be some scary scenes. It seems like audiences prefer series like this, such as Unchained Medley (2023)." The Map of Truth tells the story of feng shui expert Master Zhuang Yichen (Wayne Lai) who creates a social media channel to discuss and visit places with supernatural elements. As he gains popularity for his content, sceptic influencer Bi Ping (Katy) uses scientific explanations to debunk Master Zhuang's discussions and the two begin a fight to outwit each other, with the line between superstition and reality becoming increasingly blurred. Katy said that while filming the drama, they visited "almost every cemetery in Hong Kong" and shared an unforgettable experience she had. She recounted: "There was a day when I drove myself to the filming location, which was in a cemetery. The cemetery doesn't seem to be maintained and is located at the top of a mountain. A staff member told me [over the phone] that they would arrive in about half an hour, and I could meet them there, so I drove over. "But when I reached there, there was not a single person in sight. I thought I went to the wrong location, but when I called them, I was told that they had a delay and would arrive in another half an hour. I was alone at the cemetery, so I quickly lowered my car seat and closed my eyes to wait for them. That was quite an unforgettable experience." When asked if it was during the day or night, she responded that it was the former, adding with a laugh: "If it was nighttime, I would have left immediately."
