In Singapore, local actor Desmond Ng and his wife, actress-host Kanny Theng, recently shared that they are expecting their first child, which is due in July. The couple made the announcement public via social media on January 28, 2026, by sharing a photograph of themselves holding an ultrasound image. This joyful moment marks the beginning of their journey to parenthood, as they prepare to welcome their baby during the upcoming Year of the Horse. Ng and Theng, both 38 years old, have been together for nearly eight years and tied the knot on March 28, 2025. The couple had kept their pregnancy private initially in regard to the concerns of age and health. As Theng is considered an older mother, they were cautious about revealing the news until they heard the baby’s heartbeat, which they describe as a remarkable experience. Ng recalled feeling ecstatic, but also anxious when the reality of impending parenthood sunk in, leading to concerns about housing and financial support for their child’s future education. They both expressed that the journey was not only about anticipating the arrival of a child but also re-evaluating their life choices and responsibilities. Ng, who has designs on maintaining a stable life for his family, shared that his previous aspirations of remaining a DINK (double income, no kids) couple were now shifting due to the new addition to the family. His worries were eased after discussions with close friends, including fellow actors Sheila Sim and Desmond Tan, who reassured him that parenting challenges could be managed. Currently, the couple is preparing their home to accommodate their new family member, adapting their living space designed for two people into one suitable for three. The discussions around life changes and parenting responsibilities continue as they approach the delivery date. This thoughtful preparation reflects not only their excitement but also their serious approach to impending parenthood.
