Ah Boy to Ah Pa: Maxi Lim breaks the good news

Congratulations to local actor Maxi Lim and his wife Liz! The couple announced late last night (April 17) that they are expecting a child.

The couple's marriage plans were derailed because of the Covid-19 pandemic, and so they held a small solemnisation ceremony in March, postponing their banquet dinner to December. 

Maxi, 33, also shared photos of the wedding "gate-crash", a traditional — and usually arduous — activity where the groom and his best men have to complete a series of tasks before the former can meet his bride. He got his Ah Boys To Men co-stars Tosh Zhang, Joshua Tan, Wang Weiliang, and Noah Yap as his 'brothers', and from their pained expressions, it looked like they didn't have an easy time.

In a YouTube video where they talked about planning their wedding in 30 days, Liz said: "After the proposal, one or two persons asked me about it. 'Why so fast propose? Is it because you're pregnant?' I just said yes."

Maxi added that the foetus is healthy, and while they don't know the gender yet, he's hoping it would be a boy.
