The baby is expected to arrive next year, which will be the year of the pig, according to the Chinese lunar calendar.

In a lengthy post the next day (Nov 11), Chan reflected on a year "where many unhappy things happened". He also apologised for the unexpected marriage announcement, which took many by surprise.
