| Roxanne Tong Pregnancy Gossip Gets a Response From Kenneth Ma: 'We'll Tell Everyone'. (Image via: Eastweek) |
Kenneth Ma has stepped in to put the brakes on growing speculation surrounding his wife Roxanne Tong, after photos of the couple during a family shopping trip sparked widespread rumours that they were expecting their first child. Rather than letting the internet write its own family announcement, the Hong Kong actor made it clear that there is no pregnancy news to share, adding that fans would hear it directly from them if that day ever comes.
The rumours gained momentum after entertainment magazine reports showed Kenneth Ma, Roxanne Tong, her parents and sister enjoying a day out at luxury stores in Hong Kong. Online observers quickly focused on Roxanne's appearance, claiming she looked noticeably fuller than before and suggesting she had what many described as a "pregnancy glow".
It did not take long for social media detectives to do what they do best—turn a shopping trip into what some believed was an unofficial maternity announcement.
Responding to the speculation, Kenneth Ma dismissed the claims in a text message to Hong Kong media. He explained that Roxanne prefers wearing loose-fitting shirts during the hot summer because they are simply more comfortable and help her stay cool.
He added that his wife had also seen the viral photographs herself and joked that she admitted she had gained a little weight recently. According to him, she is now planning to focus on getting back into shape, laughing off the situation instead of treating it as a major controversy.
The actor also addressed another rumour suggesting his wife had been visiting traditional Chinese medicine clinics as part of pregnancy preparations. Kenneth Ma clarified that the treatment has nothing to do with trying for a baby.
Instead, he revealed that Roxanne Tong has been dealing with insomnia for some time, and she decided to seek traditional treatment to improve her sleep. Fortunately, he said, the medication has helped and she has been resting much better than before.

His response also echoed comments he made during Father's Day celebrations, when he was asked whether he expected to become a father soon.
At the time, Kenneth Ma answered with his usual humour, saying there was no news yet but joking that he already counts as a father thanks to the cats living at home.
The light-hearted remark has resurfaced now, with many fans saying it perfectly reflects the couple's relaxed attitude towards constant public curiosity.
The speculation had been fuelled further by reports claiming the couple were actively preparing to start a family. Entertainment gossip suggested Roxanne had paused work commitments, family members were preparing nutritious meals, and celebrity friends had even shared their own parenting advice.
While those stories generated plenty of headlines, Kenneth Ma chose to confirm only one detail—that his wife had been seeking treatment for insomnia—leaving the rest firmly in the rumour category.
Fans have reacted in different ways since the actor spoke out. Many praised Kenneth Ma for responding calmly instead of ignoring the rumours, saying his straightforward explanation should finally settle the discussion.
Others applauded the couple for maintaining their privacy despite constant public attention, arguing that family planning is a personal matter rather than public entertainment.
Of course, not everyone was convinced. Some netizens insisted celebrities often keep major life updates private until they are ready to announce them, while others admitted they simply enjoy trying to solve celebrity mysteries before anyone else does. The internet, after all, has never met a loose shirt it couldn't transform into a headline.
Since marrying in 2023, Kenneth Ma and Roxanne Tong have regularly shared glimpses of their happy married life, making them one of Hong Kong entertainment's most admired couples.
Although questions about children continue to follow them wherever they go, the actor has once again reminded everyone that any genuine happy news will come from the couple themselves—not from a zoomed-in shopping photo or endless online theories. Do you think the speculation has gone too far, or is public curiosity simply part of celebrity life?
