CNY 2023: How your favourite local celebrities celebrated Chinese New Year

Celebrity couple Fann Wong and Christopher Lee wished their social media followers a happy new year with a photo of themselves and their eight-year-old son, Zedd, who was ensconced in a lion dance costume.

Actress Xiang Yun and her family – which includes former actor husband Edmund Chen, as well as their children Chen Yixin and Chen Xi – had a marathon weekend of visiting loved ones, judging by the slideshow of various group photos that she posted on Instagram on Monday.

Singapore-based Malaysian actress Sora Ma combined her Chinese New Year celebrations with a small birthday party as she turned 39 on Sunday. “Happy birthday to us, thank you all for the blessings,” she wrote on Instagram.

Ma had an eventful 2022, having won Best Supporting Actress at the fourth annual Asia Contents Awards in Busan in October for her role in Mediacorp’s period drama, This Land Is Mine (2021).

Also celebrating a birthday recently was veteran actress Tan Kheng Hua, who turned 60 on Jan 17. “I am 60 and have more freedom and choices than ever before,” she reflected on Instagram in a recent birthday post.

Though she has been busy these days making a name for herself in Hollywood, with a starring role in the action-adventure series Kung Fu (2021 to present), she flew back home last week to celebrate her birthday and Chinese New Year.

Actor Romeo Tan, one of the “8 Dukes of Caldecott Hill”, shared a snap of himself hanging out with fellow actors Rebecca Lim and Elvin Ng. “My gorgeous (day two of CNY) with the two (seniors),” he said in the caption.

Meanwhile, actor Terence Cao shared a video of a home gathering that included local television veteran Cassandra See and Chinese-American actor Allan Wu.

Like many other local celebs, Chantalle Ng was also present at the Lunar New Year Countdown show over the weekend, where she was spotted in an eye-catching red ensemble.

Having recently acted in local film, The King of Musang King, Glenn Yong spent his CNY weekend promoting the movie, and even surprised cinemagoers at a few cinemas along with the rest of the cast which also included the likes of Jack Neo and Mark Lee.
