(Video) Malaysian-born Actor Hero Tai Reveals Gender Of Second Child With Wife Tatiana
Congratulations to Malaysian-born actor Hero Tai (戴祖雄) and his wife, Ukrainian-born model Tatiana Lin (戴佳娜)! After announcing their pregnancy, the couple recently revealed the gender of their second child.
The actor shared a video from the couple's recent gender reveal party. Back in April, Hero and Tatiana shared the joyous news that they are expecting another baby. The Taiwan-based pair tied the knot in 2023 and welcomed their first child, daughter Karina, that same year. Since Hero and Tatiana are already parents to a daughter, many had hoped for the couple to have a boy.
As shown in the video, many of Hero and Tatiana's family and friends were invited to the gender reveal party, dressed in pink and blue to celebrate the occasion. The couple revealed the gender of their baby by popping a large balloon, which, when popped, exposes smaller balloons in blue – signalling a son. At the same time, fireworks went off behind the two, unfortunately shocking Tatiana, who fell on her knees.
As the camera pans to show the crowd's reaction, it stops at Tatiana's sister, Oliya (歐莉雅). Funnily enough, Oliya seemed to be the most emotional over the news because she was crying profusely. While it was out of joy, Hero couldn't help but poke fun at her reaction, writing in the captions, 'The moment before the fireworks went off, we always thought we'd have a girl, so that's why Tatiana's reaction was over-the-top. But why did my sister-in-law cry so miserably?'.
The video sparked many congratulations and joyous comments from fans and netizens. Many congratulated the couple on having a son and expanding their family. At the same time, some wished Tatiana a smooth and safe pregnancy. On the other hand, some expressed amusement at the crowd's reaction, namely the reaction of the expecting mother, Tatiana, and her sister, Oliya.
Tatiana is expected to deliver sometime in September. We would also like to congratulate the couple and wish them a smooth pregnancy.

Divided voices of Seribu Tahun reflect Malaysia's growing media maturity
In a local TV landscape often filled with predictable plots and familiar tropes, Seribu Tahun has quietly emerged as a bold outlier. The Malay-language drama, which has sparked conversations across social media, stepped into rarely explored territory, weaving LGBT themes into its storyline while firmly grounded in Malay-Muslim cultural contexts. Unlike shows designed to provoke controversy for attention, Seribu Tahun took a different path: it doesn't push agendas, it invites dialogue. Through emotional storytelling and layered characters, it challenges viewers to reflect, not react — offering a rare lens into conversations often left unheard in mainstream Malaysian media. Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) Faculty of Film, Theatre and Animation lecturer, Ts Mastura Muhammad viewed this public discourse as a sign of progress rather than division. 'The polarised response to Seribu Tahun reveals the evolving state of public discourse in Malaysia. These reactions reflect a society negotiating its values, caught between maintaining traditional norms and grappling with modern complexities. 'Rather than viewing this division as a weakness, it signals the maturity of a media-literate public willing to critically engage with content,' she told Sinar Daily. The series stands out precisely because it refuses to offer simple answers or push a singular perspective. Instead, Seribu Tahun contextualises the struggles of its characters with nuance and care. This approach transforms mainstream media into a dynamic arena for national conversation, provided stories like these are handled with depth and ethical clarity. Mastura emphasised that the drama's layered storytelling offers multiple perspectives rather than promoting a specific ideology or identity. In Malaysia, television drama is often seen as light entertainment, an escape from daily life. But Seribu Tahun challenges this perception. Mastura pointed out that drama can and should serve as a platform for meaningful dialogue. The Seribu Tahun debates reflect a growing public willingness to think critically, engage deeply and confront complexity. Photo: Facebook 'Audience reactions, especially those expressed via platforms like TikTok, have offered thoughtful interpretations of the show's themes, drawing from both social and religious frameworks. These kinds of responses contribute to a richer and more constructive media environment than the usual reception given to formulaic romantic dramas. 'In contrast to other local productions that have mishandled sensitive themes, such as the casual acknowledgment of biological fathers in cases of children born out of wedlock, a portrayal that contradicts Islamic teachings, Seribu Tahun demonstrates a more ethically grounded narrative approach. 'Controversial issues in the series are carefully contextualised or resolved, reflecting a sincere effort to balance creative freedom with cultural and religious considerations,' she added. Malaysia's society is often labelled as conservative, but this simplification overlooks the rich diversity of moral and ideological standpoints held across its population. For filmmakers navigating this landscape, ethical storytelling becomes a tightrope walk. 'Directors and scriptwriters must navigate this complex terrain, shaped by regulation, religious sensitivities and public expectations. Ethical representation in such a setting demands commitment to narrative integrity without falling into sensationalism. 'When addressing taboo topics like LGBT identities, religion, or intersexuality (khunsa), it is crucial for filmmakers to craft portrayals that are contextually relevant, culturally respectful and ethically responsible,' she mentioned. The reach of television drama means these stories carry the power to amplify voices too often sidelined. More than just showing these identities or issues, such narratives invite society to listen and reflect rather than react in knee-jerk fashion. Through these stories, Mastura said that we can come closer to understanding Malaysia's heterogeneous social fabric, rather than perpetuating the illusion of cultural uniformity.

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom split after nine years
Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry have been engaged since February 2019 and have a four-year-old daughter. Photo: Katy Perry/Instagram After nine years together, American singer Katy Perry and British actor Orlando Bloom have parted ways. They have been engaged since February 2019 and have a four-year-old daughter. The 40-year-old singer of Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F) was first romantically linked to Bloom in January 2016, when they were seen at several Golden Globe after-parties together. They went public with their relationship on Instagram in May that year, after attending the Cannes Film Festival. They were set to wed in 2020, but their plans were foiled by the Covid-19 pandemic. Bloom, 48, recently appeared in Orlando Bloom: To The Edge (2024), which he executive-produced. The three-episode TV series sees him going on a journey of self-discovery through activities such as freediving and rock climbing. The Pirates Of The Caribbean (2003 to 2017) star also has a 14-year-old son with his ex-wife, Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr. Perry was previously married to British comedian Russell Brand between October 2010 and December 2011. She is now in Adelaide for her The Lifetimes Tour, which will wrap up in December. – The Straits Times/Asia News Network
