Hong Kong singer Kary Ng, a former member of the girl group Cookies, is preparing to mark her milestone 11th wedding anniversary with husband Brian Hung this month, transitioning successfully from pop stardom to devoted motherhood. The couple, parents to three young children, were recently observed sharing a private family meal in Tai Po, offering a rare glimpse into their secluded yet apparently idyllic domestic life, showcasing a dynamic built on mutual care and commitment.
The family outing, captured exclusively by East Week magazine, took place at a scenic lakeside restaurant known for its romantic ambiance and as a filming location for the mainstream reality TV dating show Goddess Matching Plan. Ng, 39, and her husband carefully tended to their children—seven-year-old son Asher, six-year-old daughter Galilee, and three-year-old youngest daughter Noa—while the children demonstrated notable independence by eating without assistance. The intimate atmosphere was punctuated by overt displays of affection between Ng and Hung, including the singer thoughtfully serving food to her husband. Following the meal, the family reportedly returned to their high-value, semi-mountain mansion, valued near HK$100 million, continuing their deliberate choice for a low-key, fulfilled existence away from the spotlight.
Career Peak and Personal Priorities
Ng’s professional trajectory saw her rise swiftly through the ranks of Hong Kong’s music scene after launching her solo career in 2005. Hits like “InControl” secured her numerous accolades and earned her the moniker of ‘Little Queen of the Music Scene,’ culminating in a successful solo concert at the prestigious Hong Kong Coliseum.
However, at the apex of her career, Ng chose a sharp turn into family life. In 2015, she married her childhood sweetheart, Brian Hung, a former “Prince of Tennis,” with a registration in the United States followed by a lavish European ceremony in Italy in July of the same year. Since then, Ng has largely stepped back from the relentless demands of the music industry to focus entirely on raising their family.
Navigating Adversity and Finding Fulfilment
The commitment to family was tested early, particularly during Ng’s third pregnancy. Speaking in previous interviews, Ng shared the serious health challenges faced by her youngest daughter, Noa, who was found to have an extra blood vessel near her heart while in utero. Through dedicated care and teamwork, Ng and Hung navigated the medical concerns, and Noa has reportedly made a complete recovery.
This deeply personal experience reinforced Ng’s decision to prioritize her role as a full-time mother. While acknowledging that she occasionally misses adult interaction, she consistently expresses profound enjoyment in parenting. Ng maintains an “open attitude” toward a professional comeback, provided it can be seamlessly balanced with her primary responsibilities at home.
The singer frequently shares candid moments of parenting on social media, radiating contentment and illustrating her successful transformation from a high-profile stage performer into a nurturing parent. Although record labels have reportedly extended offers for her return, Ng remains anchored by her commitment to her children, demonstrating that professional success and personal fulfilment are mutually exclusive choices in her life.
Ng’s story underscores a common dilemma for celebrity parents: choosing when and how to place family responsibilities over career momentum. For Ng, the path has been one of deliberate retreat and quiet contentment, proving that for some, the most challenging and rewarding performance happens off-stage.
