In mid-August 2025, actor William Chan and Victoria’s Secret supermodel He Sui sent Chinese showbiz into a frenzy when they announced the birth of their first son. The couple’s baby immediately became the most talked-about “silver-spoon child” in the country, born into a dream background. Just three months after giving birth, He Sui made a public comeback with a perfectly slim figure down to every millimeter and her signature long legs said to be worth billions. Many believed that the lingerie muse had gone through childbirth and postpartum recovery smoothly, as there is a common saying in C-entertainment that “female stars give birth as easily as playing house.” However, the truth was far from the rosy picture people imagined.
Appearing recently in Harper’s Bazaar, He Sui revealed that she endured 90 days of excruciating pain and even faced life-threatening danger, undergoing two surgeries after giving birth to her first child. According to the Victoria’s Secret supermodel, 45 days after her C-section, doctors discovered a blood clot in her uterus that could have caused infection or fatal hemorrhaging. Due to postpartum complications, she had to undergo emergency surgery for the second time and suffer another 45 days of intense pain. The two surgeries left He Sui physically exhausted, while hormonal imbalances made her emotionally overly sensitive. On top of that, she nearly fell into depression under the pressure of caring for a baby who cried nonstop.
With the care and emotional support of her boyfriend William Chan and both families, He Sui gradually overcame the crisis and recovered both physically and mentally. Even so, the model is still not ready to return fully to showbiz. She shared that she has temporarily put on hold overseas work, long-distance travel, and overnight business trips. At present, He Sui is only accepting short-term projects because she is worried about her young child.
William Chan and He Sui were first rumored to be dating in August 2021, when the actor was spotted picking her up and dropping her off over several days. However, the two have never publicly confirmed their relationship. Despite this, the public has largely supported their romance, praising them for being discreet, not using their private lives to promote themselves, and being well-matched in both appearance and career.
In March 2023, the couple was reported to have experienced difficulties and broke up for a period of time. Toward the end of 2023, they reportedly gave their relationship another chance and reconciled. Currently, although they have announced that they share a child, the couple has yet to reveal whether they have officially registered their marriage or when they plan to hold a wedding ceremony.
Born in 1985, William Chan is not only a top-tier actor in Chinese entertainment but also the heir to one of Hong Kong’s wealthiest families. The Swords of Legends star’s father is a real estate tycoon, his brother works in the maritime shipping industry, and his sister runs a garment business with multiple factories in Dubai.
William Chan himself reportedly controls assets worth hundreds of millions of yuan. He owns two luxury villas in The Leighton Hill—one of the most expensive residential areas in the world. He has also stunned the public with his collection of high-end cars from brands such as Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, and Maserati, including limited-edition and custom-made models.
Meanwhile, He Sui is one of China’s top supermodels, nicknamed “Fairy He” for her sweet beauty and distinctly East Asian features. She is among the few Chinese models to have walked in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show and is also the Chinese model with the most appearances on the world’s sexiest runway, having participated more than eight times.
