Victoria’s Secret supermodel He Sui captured public attention on January 2 after sharing a deeply intimate image of her boyfriend, actor William Chan, enjoying skin-to-skin contact with their newborn child.
In the photo posted by He Sui, William Chan is shirtless as the newborn lies against his back, their skin touching in a tender moment that radiates warmth and intimacy. She also shared close-up shots of the baby’s tiny hands and feet. The image quickly went viral, with fans on Weibo describing it as “a heartwarming and meaningful scene” and praising “the contrast between William Chan’s cool exterior and the gentle love he shows as a father.” Some netizens even joked about the baby’s genetic advantages, noting the impressive height of both parents William Chan at 182 cm and He Sui at 178 cm and predicting the child could grow taller than 1.9 meters.
Earlier, He Sui wrote on her personal page in both Chinese and English that 2025 had “changed my world in the most beautiful way,” calling her son “a gift I never knew I needed.” She also encouraged fans to “cherish every moment with your loved ones,” a message that resonated strongly with followers.
He Sui and William Chan were first photographed sitting together at the Shanghai Fashion Film Gala in 2019. More than a year later, paparazzi repeatedly captured them returning to William Chan’s Beijing residence together and visiting the gym as a couple. In 2023, He Sui moved out of his home, stayed at a hotel, and removed all interactions on social media, fueling breakup rumors. However, toward the end of that year, William Chan was spotted returning to He Sui’s place and staying there for three consecutive days. By late 2024, the two were seen traveling together in Japan, where He Sui was photographed with her arm around William Chan and a slightly visible baby bump, sparking pregnancy speculation.
According to Sinchew, He Sui stopped updating her Weibo account for over half a year and declined invitations from top fashion brands. Rumors circulated that the couple had “secretly married in August 2025,” though neither confirmed the reports. Toward the end of 2025, they finally shared photos revealing the birth of their first child.
