HONG KONG – Actor Yuen Wai-Ho and his wife, actress Bowie Cheung, have given fans a rare glimpse into their family life, sharing a series of touching portraits that capture the rapid growth of their two young sons. The couple, who married in 2020, posted the photographs on social media Sunday, showing a joyful family of four.
Yuen, 43, and Cheung, 33, are parents to Yuen Hey-Yau, nicknamed “Yuen Gugu,” who is nearly two years old, and their younger son, “Yuen Tam Tam,” born last year. In a heartfelt caption accompanying the images, Yuen expressed pride in watching his children develop distinct personalities.
“It’s wonderful that the four of us can take nice photos together again,” Yuen wrote. “The little brother is starting to grow up.” He added that his elder son has become more expressive, noting the toddler now enjoys striking poses and making silly faces for the camera, which added a lively, playful energy to the photo session.
The images, shared on Yuen’s Instagram account, show the couple dressed smartly for the occasion. Yuen wore a beige suit while Cheung opted for a flowing white dress. The couple cradled their younger son, who smiled brightly in several shots, while their elder son appeared in a light-colored shirt and trousers.
In one photograph, the older boy stands in front of his parents, raising his arms high while holding a toy car, his expression animated. Another shot shows both parents lifting their younger son together, with the baby’s beaming face becoming the clear focal point. A family portrait taken at a doorway shows the elder son in front with arms raised, while Yuen and Cheung lean toward each other, holding the baby and smiling.
From On-Screen Romance to Real-Life Family
Yuen and Cheung, both established figures in Hong Kong’s entertainment industry, met on the set of the TVB drama The Last Empress in 2017. They announced their engagement in 2019 and held a wedding ceremony in November 2020. The couple has since become one of the city’s most followed celebrity families, regularly sharing milestones with their online followers.
The elder son, Yuen Gugu, was born in December 2022, and the younger son arrived in October 2023. The couple has not publicly revealed the younger child’s English or formal Chinese name, referring to him by the affectionate nickname “Yuen Tam Tam,” which translates loosely to “everyone’s darling.”
Balancing Fame and Fatherhood
In the post, Yuen thanked friends and associates who helped document the family’s special moments, acknowledging the support network that allows the couple to balance their careers and parenting duties. The actor has previously spoken about adjusting to fatherhood, saying it has changed his perspective on life and work.
The photos quickly circulated among Hong Kong media and fan pages, with many followers commenting on the boys’ resemblance to their parents. The family portraits come as Yuen continues to take on acting roles while Cheung focuses on raising their children and occasional media appearances.
The couple has not announced any upcoming projects, but their shared social media presence suggests they remain committed to sharing their parenting journey with fans, offering a relatable, warm narrative of modern celebrity family life in Hong Kong.
