Aaron Kwok confirms third child on the way during Father’s Day appearance

Aaron Kwok confirms wife Moka Fang is pregnant with third child

Hong Kong actor Aaron Kwok confirmed during a Father’s Day event that he is expecting a third child with his wife, Moka Fang. The 59-year-old made the announcement while speaking to the media at a film promotion event in Hong Kong on June 15.

“I’m going to be a daddy again and I’m very happy,” said Kwok. “I like a bustling home and I’m very willing to have another child.” The couple married in 2017 and already have two daughters, aged seven and six, who are aware they will soon have a younger sibling.

Kwok did not disclose the gender of the third child. Speculation had been building since May, when Fang posted a photo on Mother’s Day showing a rounder face and a visible baby bump. The rumors intensified when she was later seen in a loose-fitting dress at a public racecourse event with her husband.

Kwok previously told the media that “children are gifts from heaven,” adding that he would leave it to nature whether their next child would be a boy or a girl.

Other celebrities also used Father’s Day weekend to announce family-related news. Actor and former swimmer Alex Fong Lik Sun confirmed that he is expecting his first child. Fong, 45, who announced his marriage to non-celebrity Maple Yip, 31, on Valentine’s Day, posted a social media update featuring a stick-figure family drawing with an added smaller figure.

“I am going to be a father soon,” Fong wrote in Chinese, adding the hashtag #itsawonderfonglife. He also extended well wishes to his own father, who turned 80 this year.

Taiwanese actress Ariel Lin announced on June 16 that she had welcomed her second child, a boy. The 42-year-old has a three-year-old daughter with her husband, businessman Charles Lin. Lin posted a photo of a baby’s hand grasping a finger and quoted a poem by Kim McMillen in her social media post.
