Fala shared a close-up shot of her daughter's hand in her and husband French entrepreneur Emmanuel Straschnov's palms. She also included this snap of herself (see above) when she was pregnant.

Fala's announcement came as a surprise as there had been no word of her pregnancy. Her fellow celebs were just as taken aback by the news. Actress Linda Chung commented: “O m g!!!! (sic) You are a mommy now!!! Congratulations!!!! So happy for you.”

Hongkong media outlet Oriental Daily News reached out to Fala, who told them that her daughter is nicknamed Little Minnie as she was born just before Chinese New Year, and so her Chinese zodiac sign is still the rat.

Fala said, “I gave birth to her naturally and she has deep dimples just like I do. I’m grateful to all the blessings that everyone has given [our family]. I’m very busy as this is my first time having a baby.”

Fala and Emmanuel tied the knot in France in May 2019. Emmanuel is believed to be pursuing a four-year Masters in Fine Arts course at the prestigious The Julliard School.
