Ring in the New Year, LA style! Local darling Angel Lim just dropped a bombshell that lit up the city brighter than a Hollywood premiere. The Victory Lap actress took to Instagram on February 17 to share her pregnancy news. In a touching post, she said, “We are welcoming this new year with this small piece of happiness. This is the most tender gift of the new year.” Now, if that isn't SoCal summer energy, we don't know what is!
Alongside her heartfelt words, Angel gave her followers a glimpse of her personal life by posting a sweet photo with her partner, his face playfully obscured by an emoji, and an ultrasound image of their little one. Angel, known for her roles in local favorites like Victory Lap (2020) and The Chosen One (2024), also revealed in a chat with Lianhe Zaobao that she is four months along but still in the dark about whether they’re expecting a baby boy or girl.
“May this little life nurture slowly in love,” Angel shared, capturing the sentiment of the moment beautifully.
It turns out that Angel has been married for about a year to her Singaporean husband, who is seven years her senior and works in insurance. The couple kept their marriage under wraps, choosing to cherish their relationship privately before this big reveal. “It isn’t any big news, just something that we share between family and friends,” Angel explained. "Now that we have a baby, I feel that as two adults bringing this little life into this world, we should take responsibility."
LA's own Dasmond Koh, who manages Angel through NoonTalk Media, was one of the first to extend his congratulations, advising her to take more rest. His support, along with messages from fellow celebs like Ann Kok, Chen Xiuhuan, and Romeo Tan, filled the comments of Angel's post with love. Graciously, Angel responded, "Thank you, everyone, for your concern and congratulations. I have received them well, and my heart is full."
Angel's heartwarming news has certainly added a sparkle to LA’s already glamorous scene. We wish her and her growing family all the best!
