And baby makes three.

Barely a month after Hong Kong actor Ruco Chan's wedding to TVB actress Phoebe Sin, the pair have announced that they are expecting a baby.

A photo uploaded to their Instagram accounts show the announcement spelled out using wedding bands and wooden letter tiles: "Ruco, Phoebe, Baby is coming", to the delight of fans. 

Addressing his unborn child, the 41-year-old actor wrote on Saturday (Nov 10): "2018 is an unforgettable year. I've gained another status! Looking forward to your arrival."

The baby is expected to arrive next year, which will be the year of the pig, according to the Chinese lunar calendar.

In a lengthy post the next day (Nov 11), Chan reflected on a year "where many unhappy things happened". He also apologised for the unexpected marriage announcement, which took many by surprise.

"I'm thankful that I got to meet and marry my wife. I know many of you had different opinions about our marriage, and many felt it was too sudden! I apologise."

He continued: "Today, I can finally share my happiness with my fans. My baby is here. This makes this year the biggest improvement  in my life, and I hope everyone can share my joy!"

On her Instagram post, Sin, 28, simply wrote: "Looking forward to your arrival, little piglet".
