51-year-old Mediacorp newscaster Glenda Chong welcomes baby boy, first child after 10 rounds of IVF

After a decade-long journey and 10 rounds of IVF, Mediacorp news anchor Glenda Chong, 51, has finally welcomed her first child with her husband, lawyer Justin Chan.

According to CNA, Ms Chong revealed that her son, affectionately nicknamed “Baby Chan”, was born on 5 March at Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital.

While they haven’t settled on a final name yet, the couple is “toying with two names” to see which one “takes better”.

For now, Ms Chong is focusing on recovery and cherishing every moment with Baby Chan.

Glenda Chong shows off maternity photos with husband

Earlier in the week, the veteran broadcaster shared a stunning maternity photoshoot on Instagram, featuring her husband and their two beloved dogs as they prepare for the baby’s arrival.

In an Instagram reel posted on 2 March, she shared heartwarming snapshots captioned, “Snapshots of our furbabies as we await the arrival of junior.”

The photos feature Ms Chong dressed in an unbuttoned shirt and bandeau top, proudly displaying her baby bump. Mr Chan, in his late 40s, can be seen embracing her from behind, while their two dogs lounge nearby.

Went through 10 rounds of IVF

According to The Straits Times (ST), the couple had always wanted children but faced significant challenges. After 10 rounds of in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) and a past miscarriage, Ms Chong finally conceived.

Given her high-risk pregnancy, the couple initially kept the news private, not wanting to “jinx” the outcome.

 

Ms Chong revealed that her 10th round of IVF was going to be the last — no matter the outcome.

Without expectations, she went ahead with the procedure, and against all odds, it worked—leading to the birth of her son.

Ms Chong’s journey has resonated deeply with fans and longtime viewers, sparking an outpouring of well-wishes on social media.
