Crazy Rich Asians star Henry Golding is now a daddy! He and his wife, TV host Liv Lo, just welcomed their first child.

The actor broke the good news on his Instagram page by sharing a black and white photo of him admiring their newborn baby, who's resting on top of his wife, Liv.

Henry honored his wife by saying, “This woman right here. Beyond anything I could have ever imagined. Your strength brought us our greatest joy. Thank you, I love you ♥️”

Friends and fans congratulated the couple on Instagram, including Filipina model and TV personality Joey Mead King.

Joey commented, “🙌✨✨✨ Love love love!”

The celebrity couple began dating in 2011 after meeting each other in a club during New Year's Eve.

Henry revealed during an interview on Live with Kelly and Ryan that it was actually his wife who made the first move.

“We were in a club on New Year's Eve and I saw her from afar and she was this wildcat,” Henry recounted. “Halfway through the night...she steps in my way and she says, 'Why haven't you said hello to me yet? I'm leaving tomorrow and you're never going to see me again--what are you going to do about it?'”

Henry said it was such a turn on for him that Liv was the one who initiated the conversation.

“Don't you just love it when a woman just punches you in the face? It's hot when a girl takes you by the collar.”

The two went out for brunch the next day and the rest, as they say, is history.

Henry and Liv had a long-distance relationship for a while because at the time he lived in Singapore and she was based in Tokyo.

They got engaged on their fourth anniversary while they were on holiday in Phuket, Thailand.

Henry booked a restaurant at sunset and had a string quartet play music for them.

They took a stroll on the rocks and he popped the question during the magic hour.

Henry and Liv tied the knot on August 20, 2016 at the Cove 55 resort in Sarawak, Malaysia.

On November 6, 2020, the couple announced Liv's pregnancy on separate IG posts by sharing a photo of them together with Liv's baby bump on full display.

Liv said in her caption “Such immense joy this little one has brought us already. Now we get to share it with you💕We love you!✨”

Henry's post, on the other hand, simply said, “2021 is already looking brighter ❤️👼🏻”

Congratulations on the birth of your first child together, Henry and Liv!
