| Ariel Lin Welcomes Baby No. 2 and Gets Real About Self-Love and Respect |
Ariel Lin Yi-chen’s got double the joy now—she’s officially a mum of two!
On 16 June, the Taiwanese actress announced the arrival of her baby boy, sharing a tender snapshot of his tiny hand wrapped in hers. In true Ariel fashion, the moment came not with fanfare but with a quiet grace—and a heartfelt reflection that’s touched fans across the internet.
The 42-year-old actress, best known for her iconic role in It Started with a Kiss, opened up about where she is in life emotionally and spiritually, pairing the post with a powerful quote from Kim McMillen’s poem about self-love and authenticity.
“When I truly began to love myself, I realized all pain and emotional struggles were signals I was living against my true self,” she quoted. “Today I know this is called ‘authenticity.’”
She went on to speak about respect—not just for others, but for herself:
“When I truly began to love myself, I understood how rude it is to impose my will on others—even if that person is me, and even if the timing isn't right. Today I know this is called ‘respect.’”
Ariel Lin shared that she felt moved to post the poem with fans because it resonated so deeply with her current season of life as a mother of two. And honestly? We love that she did.
While Ariel Lin’s always kept her private life fairly under wraps, fans have quietly followed her journey since she tied the knot with businessman Charles Lin in 2014. The couple welcomed their daughter in 2021, and now—four years later—the family’s just grown a little bigger.
The comments section on her announcement post quickly filled up with congratulations and warm wishes from netizens, fellow celebs, and longtime fans who grew up watching her on-screen.
Ariel hasn’t shared her son’s name or many other details—and in typical Ariel Lin style, she probably won’t.
But what she has shared is a beautifully quiet reminder that motherhood isn’t just about sleepless nights and cuddles—it’s also about learning how to love and respect yourself all over again.
And honestly? That’s a glow-up we can all get behind.
