Chinese actress and supermodel He Sui and actor William Chan have announced the birth of their first child, a baby boy. The news has quickly become one of the most discussed topics in Chinese entertainment, drawing widespread media attention and public congratulations.
In a statement released by the couple’s management teams, it was confirmed that He Sui gave birth earlier this month. Both mother and child are reportedly healthy. While the couple refrained from disclosing further details, several entertainment industry sources revealed that the two have already registered their marriage earlier this year.
The “Victoria’s Secret” Supermodel Generation
He Sui is one of China’s four internationally recognized supermodels — alongside Liu Wen, Ming Xi, and Xiao Wen Ju, all of whom have previously walked in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
Each of the models has achieved professional acclaim while also leading widely admired personal lives:
- Xiao Wen Ju married fellow model Jin Dachuan in 2023, following a three-year relationship.
- Ming Xi wed Mario Ho, son of the late Macau casino magnate Stanley Ho, in 2019. The couple share a son and a daughter.
- Liu Wen is in a relationship with actor Jing Boran. The pair maintain a low profile and rarely discuss their relationship publicly.
With the recent announcement of He Sui’s motherhood, many fans have remarked that all four models from the celebrated generation appear to have found personal fulfillment alongside their successful careers.
He Sui and William Chan: A Private Yet Prominent Relationship
He Sui and William Chan reportedly met at a private event in 2019 and began dating shortly afterward. By 2021, the pair were frequently photographed together in public, though they remained discreet about their relationship.
In early 2025, He Sui’s absence from social media and fashion events led to speculation about a possible pregnancy. Rumors also circulated that she declined the Vogue China September “Golden Issue” cover, traditionally regarded as a milestone for top models, suggesting a deliberate decision to step away from the spotlight.
Industry observers noted that He Sui’s recent career choices mirror those of Ming Xi, who also temporarily withdrew from public appearances following her marriage to Mario Ho.
Shared Parallels with Ming Xi and Mario Ho
The relationship between He Sui and William Chan has drawn particular attention for its similarities to Ming Xi and Mario Ho’s union. Both couples feature wealthy male figures who fell in love with top Chinese supermodels of the same generation.
William Chan, whose father is a real estate magnate, comes from a well-established family in Hong Kong. His brother works in the shipping industry, while his sister oversees a garment business operating factories in Dubai. Beyond his acting career, William Chan has developed a successful business portfolio, including luxury properties and high-end automobiles.
Similarly, Mario Ho is the son of Macau’s late casino tycoon Stanley Ho. He was accepted to the University of Oxford at age 18 and later completed a Master’s degree in Finance at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Because of these parallels, Chinese media have dubbed He Sui and William Chan the “second Ming Xi and Mario Ho couple.”
Following the birth announcement, Chinese social media platforms were flooded with congratulatory messages. Fans described the couple as “the perfect combination of beauty, success, and stability,” and many praised their decision to keep their relationship private.
One Weibo user commented, “They’ve shown that love in the spotlight can remain elegant and genuine.”
