Louisa Mak, the former Miss Hong Kong, revealed her pregnancy when attending a media event on Nov 19, proudly showing off her baby bump and sharing that she is five months along.
“I feel very nervous; it’s a big responsibility,” said a smiling Mak, as reported by Sin Chew Daily.
"I am very grateful for God’s blessing. I feel very lucky and cherish it. I will do my best to prepare myself for entering a new stage in my life.”
Speculation about her pregnancy began in September after she posted a photo from a friend’s wedding.
However, Mak chose not to address the rumours at the time, reportedly following the advice of elders to wait at least three months before making an announcement.
The 32-year-old actress and TV host has previously expressed her desire for a large family, saying she hopes to have at least four children. With her first baby on the way, she seems to be on track to fulfil her dream.
This year has been a whirlwind for the law graduate.
She got engaged to pilot Keith Shing on Jan 30, registered their marriage a month later, and held a fairy-tale wedding ceremony in March. The couple then took a romantic honeymoon to the Maldives in June.
Hong Kong media are now speculating that the couple conceived during their idyllic honeymoon, marking yet another milestone in their exciting year.
