Stefanie Sun gives birth to second child - a baby girl weighing 2.79kg

SINGAPORE - Homegrown Mandopop singer Stefanie Sun has given birth to her second child, a girl.

On Instagram and Facebook, she shared a photo on Monday (July 30) of herself holding her infant daughter with the caption: "Mama's current status: hungry."

She also wrote: "Baby girl's current status: checking out a whole new world. Parents' current status: checking out a whole new girl."

Her daughter was born on July 25 at Thomson Medical Centre, and weighs 2.79kg.

In the same post, she also posted a picture of a drawing of her new family of four, presumably drawn by her son, who is 5½.

The award-winning pop star, who turned 40 just two days before giving birth, is married to Dutch-Indonesian businessman Nadim van der Ros.

In a joint statement sent out by music companies Make/Music and Universal Music Group, they asked for fans and media to give the new mum and family some privacy.
