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.
