Henry Golding
Henry Golding, who is known for roles in Crazy Rich Asians and Last Christmas, is officially outnumbered in his house as his wife Liv Lo gave birth to their second daughter.
Their little girl, whom they named Florence, was born on Sept. 9, but the couple didn't share the news on social media until Oct. 10. The two posted a montage video showing the realistic highs and lows of having their child, from Florence's birth to life at home, as they adjusted to being parents of two.
The caption on the video read, "The journey of childbirth is full of its ups and downs, but glorious none the other. This is our birth story fit-sphere.com @fitsphere_bylivlo."
Plenty of friends shared congratulations in the comments, with Olivia Munn, who shares son Malcolm with John Mulaney, writing, "Oh my precious friends. Sending you all the love."
Golding and Lo further opened up about Florence's birth on Lo's FitSphere blog. In the personal essay, Lo recounts her difficult and extensive birth and postpartum experience with Florence. While she faced some initial challenges before Florence was born, Lo and Golding dealt with even more after.
First, the doctors discovered that baby Florence had pneumonia and she was placed in the NICU for around two weeks, but after Lo was discharged from the hospital, she discovered her own health issues.
She wrote, "For any mother-to-be reading this please know that you should not be in pain or suffering during the postpartum period. Fevers should be taken seriously and you should not have to rely on pain medication to make it through postpartum."
Lo then detailed how an OBGYN advised her to take pain meds and stay home, but her doula pushed her to go back to the hospital, where they discovered she had a blood infection. On top of that, the doctors also diagnosed her with endometriosis, but thankfully, they were able to successfully treat both mother and daughter.

"Healing from postpartum, a blood infection, becoming a mother of two, and breastfeeding at the same time was an intense experience that rebirthed me at the same time as my daughter Florence," Golding's wife eloquently concluded.
"When a life-changing moment presents itself we have a choice to change with it. These powerful moments, which do not come often, can last for an instant or, if we choose, can continue to process and implement changes for a complete lifestyle overhaul."
Along with newborn Florence, Golding and Lo share two-year-old daughter Lyla.
