SINGAPORE: Hong Kong celebrity Leon Lai, 51, confirmed in a Facebook post on Monday (Mar 19) that he is about to become a father.
Hong Kong media had reported earlier this month that he was in a relationship with his assistant-turned-sales manager Wing Chan, before news started circulating that she was also six months pregnant.
The singer and actor, one of Hong Kong's so-called Four Heavenly Kings, confirmed the news on Facebook on Monday, and wrote about how "having a child takes me into another stage of my life".
"It is fate that has brought two divorced people together," Leon wrote in Chinese.
"Now that I am a father, I have to protect my own family and not expose them to the limelight unnecessarily ... With regards to our future, only time will tell."

Leon was previously married to Hong Kong model and actress Gaile Lok for four years before the two divorced in 2012. The pair do not have any children.
He had reportedly been dating Wing for half a year before the media caught wind of their relationship.
Hong Kong star Leon Lai is set to become a father, confirming the news in a Facebook post after weeks of rumours swirling about his partner's pregnancy.
In a post on Monday (March 19), Lai wrote: "For two people who have been divorced, having a chance to be together takes a certain type of fate. Having a little life will make me a father, and take me to the next stage of life. As a father, I'll have to protect my family and not let them be exposed (to the media). I hope those of you who are parents feel the same way. As for our future, I'll leave it to time to prove."
Lai, 51, is one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Hong Kong - alongside Aaron Kwok, Andy Lau and Jacky Cheung.
Hong Kong media had recently run reports saying he was dating Wing Chan, who became his sales manager after serving as his assistant for his record label Amusic.
Chan, 32, is dubbed "Ah Wing" in Hong Kong tabloids and has been said to resemble Lai's former wife, Gaile Lok.
Lok was married to Lai from 2008 to 2012.
Lai is the only Heavenly King who is currently single. Kwok, 52, married Chinese model-actress Moka Fang last year, while Lau, 56, has been married to Malaysian Chinese Carol Chu since 2008. Cheung, 56, married Hong Kong actress May Lo in 1996.
congratulations to him in advance!
hope he has more babies
