Katherine Heigl adopts a Korean baby girl

September 25, 2009 by Yein Jee

American actress Katherine Heigl, husband Josh Kelley and daughter Nancy LeighAmerican actress Katherine Heigl and husband Josh Kelley have adopted a 10-month-old special needs baby girl from South Korea earlier this month.

They named their daughter Nancy Leigh, nicknamed Naleigh, after Katherine’s mother Nancy and sister Margaret Leigh. The couple released their first family photo via Katherine’s animal-rescue foundation…

Katherine’s sister is an adopted Korean; and Katherine has always wanted to follow her parents’ path.

The adoption process was sped up because of Naleigh’s health condition; she had to undergo a heart operation two months after she was born and probably needs some extra care, which her new found parents should be able to provide.

Isabella Leong gave birth to baby boy

June 5, 2009 by Yein Jee

Chinese actress Isabella Leong, with husband and babyChinese starlet Isabella Leong gave birth to a baby boy on April 26 in Toronto, Canada.

Isabella, 21, and HKG billionaire Richard Li, 42, started their relationship in March 2008. There were rumours in early 2009 that the actress was pregnant, but nobody took it seriously.

Come to think of it… it’s probably the main reason why her ex-agency EEG had softened over their contract dispute; the company must have realised about the fact (probably told by Richard) and was made to reach the settlement deal in November 2008. Image via Thestandard.

The baby’s name is Ethan Li Changzhi (loose translation). Best wishes.
