| Pregnant Ariel Lin Seen Glowing at Taipei BBQ with Celebrity Friends (Instagram/Waawei) |
Look who’s back — and looking radiant as ever. Taiwanese actress Ariel Lin, 42, has just made her first public appearance in yonks, and yep, she’s absolutely glowing. The star, who’s been keeping things low-key since confirming her second pregnancy earlier this year, was recently spotted out and about in Taipei, belly bump and all.
The rare sighting came courtesy of singer-songwriter Waa Wei, who casually dropped a group photo on socials that had fans buzzing in seconds. The setting? A vibey new Korean barbecue joint in Zhongshan District, Taipei — the kind of place that’s all the rage right now. And the guest list? Only a proper A-list crew: Ariel Lin, veteran host Matilda Tao and her daughter, the always-lovely Lala Hsu, Peggy Hsu, and acclaimed novelist Chang Man-chuan.
Ariel — who’s now around seven months along — kept it classic in a loose-fitting top, casual hair clip, and what looked like zero makeup. But let’s be honest, that signature warmth and youthful glow of hers? Still untouchable. Even with a bun in the oven and out of the limelight, she somehow manages to steal every group photo without even trying.

Fans were quick to swoon, with comments like:
💬 “That’s what we call real beauty — inside and out.”
💬 “She’s got that serene mum-to-be aura. So wholesome.”
If you’ve been wondering where she’s been lately, Ariel’s been focusing entirely on family and health. After welcoming her first daughter, affectionately nicknamed “Little Little Lin,” in 2021, she’d been open about wanting to expand the fam. Reports say she started prepping for baby No. 2 in mid-2024, switching up her schedule and putting serious effort into wellness — and clearly, it’s paid off.
Despite being considered an advanced maternal age by medical standards (yes, she’s 42, but try telling her skin that), Ariel’s journey to baby number two has been full of care, joy, and full-on family support. She and her husband Charles Lin — who’s not in showbiz, by the way — have been happily married since 2014, and sources say they’re over the moon about the upcoming addition.
And while Ariel’s been on a complete work pause to focus on rest and prenatal care, it seems her fans are more than happy to wait. As one put it:
💬 “Take all the time you need, Queen. We'll be here when you’re ready.”
No official updates yet on when she might return to the screen, but honestly, seeing her out and smiling is all fans needed for now. The woman’s glowing — in every sense of the word — and we’re here for it.
