Included in the post was a photo of him with his wife, Sabrina, along with the sonogram of their highly anticipated first baby.

“New nephew coming soon! Happy Lunar New Year and Ramadan Mubarak,” Nigel wrote in the caption.

The couple tied the knot in a stunning ceremony in Portugal in July 2025.

Nigel's rise to global fame is largely credited to his Uncle Roger persona, a character who became a viral sensation for his sharp-tongued roasts of celebrity chefs.

He famously took on Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver, critiqued for their unconventional methods of preparing Asian staples like egg fried rice.

Nigel has also engaged with Filipino cuisine and creators. He famously reviewed American chef Geoffrey Zakarian's take on adobo and collaborated with the Philippines' own “Lumpia Queen,” Abi Marquez, for a high-energy lumpia cooking video.
