LAST year, he raised eyebrows when news broke that he was dating his personal assistant, who is less than half his age.

Now, local TV host and radio deejay Marcus Chin's girlfriend, Miss Eileen Cheah, is four months pregnant.

The proud father-to-be confirmed the pregnancy (it's a girl!) when asked about it at a press conference yesterday.

He took her to the press conference, for household products brand, V. Care, where he was unveiled as its spokesman.

They even posed for pictures together.

Chin, 57, had behaved very differently earlier.

When The New Paper approached him and his 25-year-old girlfriend for interviews in mid-February to ask them about the burgeoning romance and the rumoured pregnancy, he was reserved and politely turned us down.

Yesterday, Chin seemed bolder and a lot more comfortable at opening up about his relationship with a girl 32 years younger.

And he had no problems with having Miss Cheah in the limelight.

With a visible bulge in her tummy, the Malaysian-born lass accompanied him throughout the product launch.

Although she declined to speak to us, she gamely posed for pictures with her doting boyfriend.

A picture of domestic bliss, the soon-to-be-father revealed that he was "extremely happy" to have finally fulfilled his ailing mum's wish to see him have a kid of his own.
