(Video) Nicholas Tse's Teenage Sons Capture Netizens' Attention With Their Good Looks
It appears that the sons of Hong Kong stars Nicholas Tse (谢霆锋) and Cecilia Cheung (張柏芝) are all grown up! Over the weekend, Lucas (谢振轩) and Quintus (谢振南) made a rare appearance at their dad's concert, quickly going viral on social media for their good looks. Last weekend, Nicholas held his long-awaited 'Evolution Nic Live' concert at the Kai Tak Sports Park in Hong Kong. The four-day show drew in thousands of fans and some celebrity guests, including singers G.E.M (鄧紫棋) and Charlene Choi (蔡卓妍). However, the two guests who caught the most attention were Nicholas' two sons, Lucas, age 17, and Quintus, age 14. The two teenagers are from the HK star's marriage with actress Cecilia Cheung. Lucas and Quintus attended the concert for two consecutive shows, watching their father perform on stage from the crowd. Since neither of the boys wore face masks, the surrounding concertgoers all got a clear look at their visuals. Elder Lucas is said to resemble their father, while Quintus shares more of Cecelia's features. Fans who briefly interacted with the boys said both were polite, but the younger brother was more reserved. The two brothers were also spotted with their father at a restaurant before the concert's finale show on 27th April 2025 (Sunday). The scene of Nicholas having a meal with his two sons garnered attention, with many praising the actor for maintaining a good relationship with his sons. For those wondering, Nicholas and Cecelia have joint custody of their children. However, Lucas and Quintus usually live with the actress, who has another son, Marcus. Also spotted at Nicholas' concert was the actor's girlfriend, Faye Wong (王菲). The Mandopop icon sat beside another woman in the concert hall's VIP section. Since Faye rarely makes public appearances, her sighting at the concert sparked interest online. However, it's unknown whether Lucas and Quintus met with Faye at the concert since they were accompanied by their grandmother Deborah Lee (狄波拉). It's nice that Nicholas maintains a close relationship with his sons despite it being years since splitting from Cecelia. Perhaps we'll get to see more of Lucas and Quintus soon. In the meantime, check out a video of the boys at the concert: Sources: China Press, 8Days

For the sake of her little son, actress Sora Ma becomes a Singaporean
SINGAPORE: Sora Ma, an established actress, is finally a Singaporean after many years, as reported by CNA via 8 Days. Sora Ma, who's 41 and originally from Malaysia, shared a bit of her personal story on Instagram on April 16. She mentioned that she was far along in her pregnancy, just a week or two away from meeting her baby. A friend of hers named Karen suggested something practical: changing her citizenship. Karen thought it would just make things smoother down the road when it came to dealing with anything related to her child. Photo: Instagram/Sora Ma Ma gave birth to her son, Skye, last August. He is now nine months old. Sadly, in June last year, Sora Ma's husband, whom the public only knew as Mr R, passed away unexpectedly. This happened before their son, Skye, was born. He was only 48 years old. They had been in a relationship for 11 years and got married in 2021. Wake-up call Ma revealed that she did not think much about changing her citizenship at the beginning, but Karen's words were a 'wake-up call' for her. She was still getting used to managing everything alone. So, facing this tough situation, Ma decided to reach out for help. She emailed her Member of Parliament (MP), Dr Koh Poh Koon. He's been representing the Tampines area since 2020. Impressed by his efficiency Ma remembers sending that email on a Saturday at 7:06 a.m. She was taken aback when she got a reply just 40 minutes later! It even looked like Dr Koh Poh Koon had replied straight from his phone. Ma was genuinely impressed by his efficiency. Just a week or two later, Ma had all the necessary paperwork sorted out and was able to go to Minister Koh's office in person. The application for her citizenship went through much faster than Ma had anticipated. She wasn't sure if her situation was particularly special or if having her MP, Dr Koh Poh Koon, involved made the process quicker. Either way, the important thing is that on Jan 22, 2025—which was also her birthday—Ma received her pink Singaporean identity card (IC). Stay hopeful In her post, she described getting her citizenship as a 'new birthday' and a 'new beginning'. It sounds as though she's faced some incredibly tough times, but she's choosing to stay hopeful and is appreciative of every little bit of progress she makes. That kind of resilience and appreciation is inspiring, especially considering everything she's been through. Sora Ma, born on Jan 22, 1984, is a Singaporean actress. Originally from Malaysia, Sora Ma gained recognition after finishing in the top five of Star Search 2010, a talent competition. Until 2017, she was a full-time artiste with Mediacorp, a major media and entertainment company in Singapore. While actively involved in the entertainment industry, Sora Ma is also a qualified Pilates instructor and is the founder of Heartworks SG, a charity organisation. In 2022, she received the Best Supporting Actress award at the Asia Contents Awards for her performance in the drama This Land Is Mine .
