| Janice Man’s Low-Key Baby Reveal Sends Social Media Into Meltdown |
Hong Kong actress Janice Man (Wen Yongshan) has pulled off one of the industry’s best-kept secrets – she’s now officially a mum.
On 30 September, the 36-year-old star casually broke the news on social media, posting a sweet photo of tiny baby feet alongside the caption: “And just like that, our home has added two little feet.”
The understated announcement immediately shot up the trending charts under the tag “Janice Man Announces Motherhood”, with fellow celebrities and netizens piling in to send their congratulations.
True to her famously low-key approach to private matters, Janice hasn’t revealed details such as the baby’s gender or exact birthday.
What fans do know is that she tied the knot with businessman Carl Ng back in 2019, registering their marriage in September before hosting a dreamy castle wedding in Italy a month later.

Her absence from public events and social media earlier this year now makes sense – many followers had wondered why she went quiet after January, and the pieces have finally clicked together.
The timing adds extra buzz, as Janice Man has been riding a strong wave in her acting career.
She recently impressed audiences with her role as a biologist in the suspense drama Mobius, and before that, her sinister yet magnetic turn in Lost in the Stars (2022) won her critical praise and a solid box office reputation.
From her early days as one of Hong Kong’s iconic “it girls” to becoming a bona fide film star across both Hong Kong and mainland China, Janice Man has successfully shaken off her “model-turned-actress” tag.

Netizens were quick to highlight how she’s managed to balance her booming career with this new chapter as a mother.
Celebrity friends and society figures were among the first to react, with names like Elanne Kwong, Kary Ng, and Shiga Lin leaving messages of joy.
Online, fans expressed their surprise at how well she had managed to keep the pregnancy private, with comments like: “What? So secretive!”, “Congrats JM, such a wonderful surprise,” and “Take care and we’ll wait for your comeback.”
