What’s Cantopop star Gigi Leung like as a mum? The Hong Kong actress and singer stepped back from the spotlight after starting a family – and these Instagram posts show how she’s spoiling daughter Sofia instead
- Gigi Leung rose to fame in the 90s, starring in films like Aberdeen, Turn Left, Turn Right and God of Gamblers 3
- Her husband is Sergio Crespo Gutes, an entrepreneur and former Nestlé executive, with whom she brought Spanish kids’ clothing brand Nanos to Hong Kong in 2018
Hong Kong 90s icon Gigi Leung lives a charmed life. Besides being famous for her sweet nightingale tunes and slender figure, her marriage sounds like something out of a story book.
Leung met her husband, Sergio Crespo Gutes, on a trip to Spain in 2011. Introduced to Leung by mutual friends, Gutes had no idea that she was a megastar in her hometown. The Aberdeen star said in interviews that she was taken by Gutes’ sincerity and the two got married within six months of dating, shocking both fans and the media. They welcomed their daughter Sofia into the world in 2015.
Fast forward to the present and Leung has taken a step back from the limelight, making fewer films and only signing up for short-term commitments. But judging by her Instagram, she is still enjoying her life as mother, entrepreneur and celebrity.
Nurturing her daughter’s creative side
After her daughter Sofia saw a stage production of The Very Hungry Caterpillar, she told her mum that she wanted to make the same puppets. Leung instantly got on her hands and knees and created some awesome artwork together with her beloved daughter.
