May babies: Actress Grace Wong's daughter born in same month as her and husband
From now on, Hong Kong actress Grace Wong will be holding three birthday celebrations in the month of May. Wong, who turned 39 on May 5, announced on social media on May 29 the birth of her first child via natural delivery. Her non-celebrity husband Daniel Chang, also 39, was born on May 15. Wong wrote in Chinese: "I always thought I would be the kind of career woman who picked a date for a caesarean section and gave her baby formula milk. "But as I formed a relationship with my baby during the nine months of pregnancy, she seemed to tell me that I could do it. I did more research and wanted to give her the best within my capabilities." She thanked her doctor for giving her the confidence to change her choice of delivery method in the last four months of her pregnancy. "It really worked out in the end as our baby girl was born naturally," Wong wrote, revealing that her daughter's name is Audrey Chang. "She is very special as she arrived past 12am, so her birthday is next to her dad's birthday," she added. "I wonder if she will be a daddy's girl in the future." She thanked her husband for accompanying her throughout the journey and for being her biggest cheerleader, adding: "You're gonna be the best daddy." She also thanked the medical team at Hong Kong's Union Hospital. "We felt very loved and supported during our stay," she wrote in English. "Thanks for celebrating Danny's birthday and Mother's Day with me as well." Using hashtags such as #MayBabies, she added: "Off to a new season with our little one. We love you so much and can't wait to see you grow up." The first runner-up of the Miss Hong Kong pageant in 2007, Wong is best known for starring in the TVB martial arts drama A Fist Within Four Walls (2016). Her role as Fa Man was named Most Popular Female Character at the TVB Anniversary Awards in 2016. In 2016, she announced her engagement to Mr Chang, whom she had dated for 11 years. In 2017, they held two wedding ceremonies in the United States and Hong Kong. Wong announced in December 2021 that she was leaving TVB after 14 years with the Hong Kong broadcaster. She took part in Chinese dance survival show Great Dance Crew in 2022 and is also a singer now.

In a recent Instagram update, Sin, 35, shared four makeup-free photos showing noticeable swelling on her face and neck.

Sin – who shares a six-year-old daughter with Chan, 48 – revealed that her illness began with eye inflammation, followed by facial swelling and then pain in her neck. While the former TVB star initially brushed it off, she later sought medical attention when the symptoms persisted and began interfering with her daily life. 'I was told to rest and take care of myself. I began scaling back on work and reminded myself it was time to pause and reset both mentally and physically,' she added. To unwind and recharge, Sin turned to concerts, golf, spa treatments and soaking up vitamin D from the sun. She urged everyone to be more vigilant about their mental and physical health. 'On the road of constant striving, proper rest is necessary. Only when you're in a good state can you achieve better results at work and take care of your loved ones.'

Photo: Ruco Chan/Instagram Hong Kong actor Ruco Chan and his wife, former Miss Hong Kong Phoebe Sin, are set to celebrate their seventh wedding anniversary this October. The couple, who tied the knot on Oct 13, 2018, share a six-year-old daughter, Quintas. Despite the common belief in the so-called "seven-year itch"– where relationships are said to hit a rough patch around the seven-year mark – the 48-year-old isn't worried. In fact, he and Sin, 35, seem to be going strong, often appearing together at public events and brand endorsements, including a jewellery showcase in April. Speaking to the media at the event, Chan acknowledged the superstition with good humour, saying they dressed up especially for the occasion as their anniversary approaches. As translated by he said: 'It's not that kind of itch. I've spent the past seven years 'raising' Phoebe – keeping her healthy and happy.' Meanwhile, Sin – who looked elegant in her black and white outfit adorned with diamond accessories – added with a laugh: 'All the diamond accessories that I picked today are long, making me look slimmer.'

#SHOWBIZ: HK actor Roger Kwok, 60, denies dating actress Hilary Chong, 23
HONG KONG: Popular actor Roger Kwok has dismissed claims suggesting a romantic relationship with actress and former Miss Hong Kong, Hilary Chong. Rumours began circulating after tabloids reported that Kwok, 60, had been giving private tennis lessons to Chong, 23, following their recent collaboration on the TVB drama Golden Forest. In a recent interview, Kwok urged the public not to take the rumours seriously, adding that such speculations could interfere with his chances of finding love. "Please don't make wild guesses and stop me from finding my true soulmate! I'm not seeing anyone currently, but if these rumours keep spreading, it will only scare people away," he said. Kwok, who finalised his divorce from former TVB star Cindy Au in 2024 after 18 years of marriage, described Chong as intelligent and gracious. Chong has also laughed off the rumours, reiterating that there will never be room for romantic development as she and Kwok share a "father-daughter relationship". The TVB actress, crowned Miss Hong Kong in 2023, further clarified that other Golden Forest co-stars were present on the day she played tennis with Kwok. "Our group is like one big family. Everyone shares a good familial relationship," she said.
