Raymond Cho and Elaine Chiang become second time parents

Yesterday morning, Raymond Cho’s wife Elaine Chiang gave birth to a 6 pound 11 ounce baby daughter, whom the couple has named Erin. Towards adding a baby sister to join their 3 year old son Brandon, Raymond commented: “My daughter was in a hurry to come into this world! Within 1 hour of arriving at the hospital, my wife went into labor and the baby was born. Erin is very spirited and cute!”

Through his manager, Raymond notified the Media of his daughter’s birth and also provided pictures of the couple with their newborn. Even though his father-in-law John Chiang is currently not in HK, Raymond expressed that he has already called him to give him the good news. His mother-in-law Maggie Li was ecstatic and arrived at the hospital early to visit her new granddaughter.

Asked whether baby Erin resembles him or his wife, Raymond, who is known for his humorous personality, laughed and responded: “Erin is very exquisite and cute, but she doesn’t like look me nor Elaine at all – the only thing in common is that she is ‘female’, just like her mother! To earn more ‘milk money’, I will definitely work even harder – any interested advertisers can contact me anytime! Also, any potential ‘suitors’ for my daughter should mail copies of their bank account statements to TVB City for my consideration! Haha!”

Raymond also notified everyone of the good news via Weibo, garnering many congratulatory responses from fans as well as friends such as Ada Choi, Kevin Cheng, Charmaine Sheh, Evergreen Mak, etc. Father-in-law John Chiang responded: “Congrats to Raymond and Elaine on the addition of a daughter and congrats to myself for gaining a beautiful granddaughter!” Good friend Ada Choi responded: “Good health is most important. As long as the baby looks like your wife, then that will definitely be excellent, but if she looks like you.......congrats, congrats!”

Declaring that two kids are enough for him, Raymond has stated that he does not plan on having any more children, so when his buddy Kevin Cheng congratulated him on Weibo and also wished him luck in adding a third child soon, Raymond immediately responded: “Hmph….your response is not to my satisfaction! Rewrite it!”

Raymond expressed that he received so many congratulatory messages on Weibo that his fingers went numb trying to respond to everyone. Even though he wasn’t able to respond to every single message, he expressed thanks to all for the well wishes.
