Hong Kong singer-actor Alex Fong and his wife Maple Yip are expecting their first child.

Alex, 45, took to Instagram on Father's Day (June 15) to share the news, adding a small 'stick-baby' to the photo he had used to announce their marriage on Valentine's Day.

"I am going to be a father, I wish everyone a happy Father's Day. #It sAWonderfongLife," he wrote in the caption.

"My father is 80 years old this year, I wish him good health and vitality."

Alex married Yip, a non-celebrity 14 years his junior, earlier this year.

He revealed they were dating in 2023.

Yip is a cult victim who appeared on the Netflix documentary In The Name of God: A Holy Betrayal to expose the South Korean Jesus Morning Star (JMS) cult.

Back then, Alex told Hong Kong media her interview in the documentary was "tough to watch".

"I admire her courage greatly, that she would come out and talk about such injustices and report them," he said.

"It chilled me to the core initially, and I wondered why she could be so naive and immature, but she was probably more resilient compared to the rest of us in the things she did.

"I treasure her more after watching it. It chilled my heart, and it hurt, but I felt she is all the more amazing."
