Actor Aaron Kwok confirms on Father's Day a third child is on the way
Hong Kong superstar Aaron Kwok confirmed on Father's Day that he will soon be a father of three.
The 59-year-old was asked by the Hong Kong media on June 15 if his wife Moka Fang, 37, was pregnant.
'I'm going to be a daddy again and I'm very happy,' he told the media at a movie event. 'I like a bustling home and I'm very willing to have another child.'
Kwok and Fang tied the knot in 2017. They have two daughters aged seven and six, who are aware that a younger sibling is on the way. The singer-actor declined to disclose the gender of his third child.
Fang first sparked rumours of her pregnancy on Mother's Day in May, when she posted on social media a photo of herself with a rounder face and a slight tummy.
Kwok added to the speculation when he told the Hong Kong media that children are gifts from heaven, and he would leave it to nature whether his two daughters will have a younger brother or sister.
The speculation grew later in June after Fang was seen wearing a loose-fitting dress while attending a racecourse event with her husband.
Kwok is not the only Hong Kong artiste to disclose impending fatherhood on Father's Day.
Actor and former swimmer Alex Fong Lik Sun, 45, had announced on Valentine's Day that he tied the knot with his non-celebrity girlfriend Maple Yip, 30. He displayed a picture of two stick men on social media.
On June 15, he showed the same picture of the two figures, but with a small stick man between them.
'I am going to be a father soon,' he wrote in Chinese, using the hashtag #itsawonderfonglife. 'My father is 80 years old this year and I wish him good health and a strong spirit.'
Meanwhile, Taiwanese actress Ariel Lin confirmed on social media on June 16 that she has welcomed her second child, a boy.
The 42-year-old has a three-year-old daughter with her husband, businessman Charles Lin.
'I recently came across a poem written by Kim McMillen, and I have to share it with you,' the actress wrote in Chinese, including the poem in her post. 'I would also like to share with you the joy of welcoming a new life, and the blessings and hopes for our children.'
She also posted a photo of a small hand holding a finger.
News of the birth was first reported by Mirror Media earlier on June 16.
The Taiwanese magazine also broke the news of her pregnancy in March, and was the first media outlet to disclose her first pregnancy in 2021.
