FORMER Hong Kong actress Michelle Reis gave birth to a baby boy via Caesarean section Tuesday in Hong Kong, reported Hong Kong media.

    The 2.93kg child, named Jayden Max Hui, is her first with her 48-year-old property magnate husband Julian Hui, whom the former Miss Hong Kong wed in 2008.

    “Pregnancy was joyful, exciting and full of anticipation. Thank you, to all the people who have accompanied me on this journey,” said Reis, 40, in a statement to the media later that day.

    At the hospital, Reis’ public relations representative gave out red packets containing HK$1,000 (US$164) to each of the many journalists who had been staking out the place since Reis checked in over the Lunar New Year weekend.

    According to the public relations company handling Reis’ affairs, the couple has not yet decided on a Mandarin name for her son.

    It also described Reis’ newborn son as having very thick hair, pronounced double eyelids and a mouth that resembles his mother’s. (SD-Agencies)
