Singaporean actors Hong Ling and Nick Teo announced their pregnancy on September 22, 2026, sharing an Instagram video that revealed they are expecting their first child. The couple, who married in December 2023, had previously disclosed a miscarriage.
Hong Ling and Nick Teo, a Singaporean celebrity couple, confirmed their pregnancy through an Instagram post on September 22, 2026, marking a significant milestone in their lives. The couple, who tied the knot in December 2023, shared a heartfelt video introducing their three cats—Zhaocai, Jinbao, and Eve—before revealing the news of their upcoming addition. The post read, Turns out, we were still missing one. Our family is finally growing by one little member. A gift from God, more beautiful than we could have imagined. Baby Teo coming soon.
How They Discovered the Pregnancy
The couple revealed they discovered the pregnancy months earlier when Hong Ling took a test in an airport toilet. In a clip shared on Instagram, they showed the moment the test displayed Pregnant, 1-2 weeks,
prompting an emotional reaction. Okay, okay, it’s just one to two weeks,
Hong Ling said, as Nick pulled her into a tight embrace.
The couple later explained that they had purchased a regular pregnancy test kit in Vietnam after local pharmacies lacked electronic tests. Upon returning to Singapore, they took another test to confirm the results. Hong Ling described the news as still “sinking in,” adding, I am starting to feel more and more like, ‘We are really going to be parents,’ and I am beginning to look forward to what our lives will be like after the baby is born.
Previous Struggles and Resilience
This announcement comes after Hong Ling experienced a miscarriage. At 11 weeks pregnant, she noticed bleeding and was told the fetus had no heartbeat. Despite the heartache, they remained hopeful, with Hong Ling stating, We have always felt that if possible, we would like to have both a son and a daughter.
So now, we would be happy whether it is a boy or a girl, and we hope that in the future we won’t just have one child.
The couple’s resilience has been a recurring theme in their public journey. When asked about their approach to parenthood, Hong Ling emphasized their relaxed attitude, saying, We are quite relaxed right now and feel that we will take it one step at a time and think about it slowly after the baby is born.
What’s Next for the Couple?
The couple is currently co-starring in the local crime drama In His Hands, which airs on Singapore’s Channel 8 on weekdays at 9pm. While they have not yet revealed the baby’s name, Hong Ling hinted at their openness to the unknown, saying, To be honest, we have not even seriously thought about a name yet.
The couple’s journey reflects a blend of joy and patience, with Hong Ling expressing excitement about their future. I am beginning to look forward to what our lives will be like after the baby is born,
she said, highlighting their readiness to embrace the next chapter of their lives.
