Singaporean singers Hong Junyang, 40, and Candyce Toh, 42, welcomed their second child -- another daughter -- to the family on Aug. 12.

The Project SuperStar alums met on the reality programme in 2005 and got hitched in 2009.

Toh gave birth to their first daughter, Azalea, in April 2016.

Second and last pregnancy

On Mar. 9, 2022, the couple announced that their family was "finally expanding (...) after years of trying".

Toh revealed that she had a "tough" first trimester and was "really sick", but she did not go into details.

When she was 36 weeks pregnant, she suffered from backaches, shortness of breath, fatigue, frequent urination, heartburn, insomnia, along with swollen limbs due to water retention.

She quipped that being pregnant with Azalea was "so different" as she did not have water retention and could "still walk gracefully like a normal human being".

In comparison, she felt that she walked like a "penguin (or) duck" this time around.

"Does age really make that much of a difference?" she questioned.
