Cecilia Cheung Gave Birth to Baby Boy; Father is a 65-Year-old Singaporean Businessman
Cecilia Cheung (張柏芝) reportedly gave birth to a baby boy on November 25 and is currently resting at the Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital. The news came as a shock, as there were no photos of Cecilia’s pregnant state prior to giving birth. The baby’s father is rumored to be a 65-year-old wealthy Singaporean businessman.
The 38-year-old actress has two sons, 11-year-old Lucas and 8-year-old Quintus, with ex-husband, Nicholas Tse (謝霆鋒). After the pair divorced in 2011, Nicholas reignited his romance with ex-girlfriend, Faye Wong (王菲) and resides at the couple’s Beijing home. While occasionally rumored to be dating, Cecilia spends most of her time raising her two sons in Singapore.
Identity of Mysterious Father
Let alone her pregnancy, Cecilia even kept the identity of her new man low-profile. But in a guest appearance on a variety show in March, Cecilia’s mother slipped that Cecilia’s boyfriend is a 65-year-old Singaporean investor who has shares in multiple restaurant chains, and has a publicly-traded enterprise. Despite their 27-year age gap, the man takes very good care of Cecilia.
Family Tight-Lipped About Cecilia’s New Baby
In February, Cecilia hinted at her pregnancy in an Instagram post, “Too cute! I’ll definitely have a baby before the end of 2018! This is my goal!” Fans thought Cecilia was joking and didn’t take her seriously. Cecilia has disappeared from the public eye since May, when she had attended a press conference to promote her Mainland drama, Love Won’t Wait <如果，愛>. Her family has been very tight-lipped about her pregnancy and no one leaked anything to the press.
However, news of Cecilia giving birth surfaced today. When her mother was spotted at the hospital, reporters asked if she was there to visit Cecilia. But she replied, “No, I’m here for a check-up,” before quickly turning away.
Nicholas was similarly curt when asked if his ex-wife had given birth. He said, “I don’t know.” But it was reported that Nicholas had run into Cecilia and her boyfriend at a function earlier.
Nicholas’ father, Patrick Tse (謝賢), said, “I don’t know. I won’t say. Please help me give my blessings.”
When reporters reached out to Cecilia’s manager, Emily, she didn’t directly deny the news. She said, “I have no response!”
If Nicholas is not the most involved of dads, watch out for this guy. 65 years old and probably not the most energetic….
so if no one has said anything, then where is the baby news coming from? but if this turns out to be true, what a big shocker. how was she able to hide it for such a long time. i guess if she really wanted to be secretive about it, have it in a more remote place in europe, russian or canada where there are very few asian people.
Cecilia hasn’t had the best romantic luck when it comes to her life partners. Even though i don’t agree with inter-generational relationships, i do wish her the best. Maybe now with a steady settled partner, she can escape the limelight and focus on family like Chingmy Yau.
good on her! maybe she found real love and she deserve it.
Jump in age is interesting. So cecilia is interested from the son to the father sort of age. ANyway maybe this will mellow her. No news reported on pregnancy may equal to she is not newsworthy at all. She should question her own newsworthiness.
Sure doesn’t look a day over 40 If the guy in dark glasses is the dad

I saw a picture without his sunglasses on.
Looked indeed like an uncle.
Wow.. when was the last time she got pregnant now give birth to another boy? Looks like Cecilia is going for a sugar daddy this time not sure what her other two sons think about that but good for her for moving on.
@cutie777 lol yeah that’s the vibe i’m getting, too. i don’t know if she’s really into this dude. but as a single mother with past scandals & two kids in an Asian country, it’s harder to find eligible bachelors, though not impossible. after bad relationships, most people typically look for partners who are good to them + their family. maybe this guy met that standard, even if he’s not fantasy material.
@coralie
Yes and even if she was beautiful and all, she has had a marriage and is divorced with 2 kids, had a sex scandal and stuff, how can she meet a young and rich guy? Very unlikely although not impossible as women with children especially have baggage that the guy may or may not accept.

1) The new dude doesn’t look much past a fit 45~50 yrs old … despite being touted as 65. If his photo in the Infinity pool of Spore’s MBS (the upscale Marina Bay Sands) is anything to go by. He was swimming with her 2 boys, while she was not in the water.
2) Being divorced is NOT such a huge deal in East + West openminded Singapore. It is not a very trad-mindset place. (eg My mom’s hairdresser got divorced in her 30s with 2 kids, and is leading a great new life travelling 3x a yr with her new husband’s family – and has opened her own shop with his help. They now have 2 new children, making a total of 4 kids whom the in laws take care of. She has been happily re-married for the past 10 years. Every yr, it’s trips to Japan, Korea,HK etc = entire family, sometimes including inlaws)
Whatever it is, all the best to Cecilia.
She deserves a break.
She’s had a few hard knocks and yet soldiered on valiantly as a great mom, kudos. I hope she’s finally found that someone who cherishes her; and will take great care of her/her children with thoughtful consideration and respect.
2) I was never a fan of either Nic or Cecilia. But post-scandal and divorce – it’s not hard to see who’s stepped up and taken great care of the kids – including bringing them along when working. (so much easier to just park them off somewhere … out of sight, out of mind)
3) Cecilia made a couple of bad choices, and had hard knocks. While Nic’s been a disconnected dad – whether in marriage (gaming at home, or away on gigs) … and remains uninvolved, post-divorce.
To me, she gets brownie points for all her efforts and sacrifices, including having had to contend with a rather materialistic MIL (Deborah Li) who was biased in favour of Faye. Nic was all about the show of being ‘supportive’ post scandal but it was all for overall image – just as he’s not a great actor but manages to get by as celeb chef these days. Packaging.
