Hong Kong actress and television host Priscilla Wong has brought her young son to Malaysia while filming her latest drama, leaving her husband, actor Edwin Siu, in Hong Kong to manage a demanding schedule of television work and concert preparations.
The family arrangement has attracted attention after Siu shared a heartfelt social media post revealing how much he misses their son, affectionately nicknamed Siu Haha. His light-hearted remark about the toddler possibly forgetting he has a father quickly added a relatable touch to the couple’s story.
Wong is currently in Malaysia filming The Exiled 2, the second season of the Astro drama. The production marks her return to acting after taking a break in March 2025 following the birth of her first child.
Why Priscilla Wong Brought Her Son to Malaysia
Rather than leave her young son behind in Hong Kong for an extended period, Wong brought him along while she worked in Malaysia.
The decision was made easier by the couple’s close connections in the country. Their son has godparents and other familiar people who can help care for him while Wong fulfils her filming commitments.
Malaysian actress Debbie Goh, who is the toddler’s godmother, is among the people connected to the family in Malaysia.
The arrangement also reflects Wong’s personal connection to the country. She has previously described Malaysia as a place where she feels comfortable and welcomed, making it a familiar environment for both work and family time.
Her return to Malaysia for The Exiled 2 is particularly meaningful because it is her first major filming project there and her first drama since the 2024 TVB production Darkside Of The Moon.

Edwin Siu Explains Why He Stayed in Hong Kong
While Wong and their son are in Malaysia, Edwin Siu has remained in Hong Kong because of his packed professional commitments.
The actor is reportedly filming a TVB drama while also preparing for the Guangzhou concert The Three Men And A Show, featuring Kenneth Ma, Edwin Siu and Raymond Cho. The concert is scheduled for November 14, 2026.
Siu explained that he already knew his schedule would be extremely demanding. If his wife and son had remained in Hong Kong, he might have returned home only after their child had gone to sleep.
He also faced the possibility of having to rush through his scripts before leaving for another work commitment.
Rather than have his family spend long periods waiting for him, Siu felt it would be better for Wong and their son to stay in Malaysia, where they could enjoy a more supportive environment.
His explanation offered a glimpse into the practical decisions working parents sometimes make when professional schedules leave little room for family time.
His Emotional Message About Missing Siu Haha Goes Viral
Despite supporting the arrangement, Siu admitted that being separated from his young son has not been easy.
In a social media post shared on November 2, he expressed how much he missed the toddler, writing that Siu Haha had gone to Malaysia to accompany his mother.
He also joked that after being away for so long, his son might have almost forgotten that he had a father.
The remark struck a familiar chord with parents who have experienced long work trips, demanding schedules or periods away from their children.
Behind the humour, however, was a father looking forward to seeing his family again.
Siu reportedly said Wong’s filming commitment was nearing its conclusion and expected his wife and son to return to Hong Kong in about a week from the time of the report.
The couple’s experience also echoes the family-centred moments that often attract attention among Asian entertainment personalities. WWC ONE MEDIA previously covered how Korina Sanchez’s twins Pepe and Pilar became the centre of attention during a family celebration aboard the Disney Adventure cruise.
A Family With Strong Connections to Malaysia
Malaysia is not an unfamiliar destination for the couple.
In September 2026, Wong and Siu brought their son to the country for his first overseas family trip. Wong shared an Instagram video documenting their journey from Hong Kong, including preparations for the flight and moments from their arrival.
The trip was also an opportunity for their son to spend time with his godmother, Debbie Goh.
Wong previously admitted that she had prepared carefully for the flight, seeking advice from other mothers and bringing items intended to keep the toddler comfortable during the journey. However, the travel experience turned out to be smoother than expected when he fell asleep shortly after take-off.
The family’s connection with Malaysia has therefore extended beyond a holiday. It has become a place where Wong can work while maintaining access to a familiar support network.
Priscilla Wong’s Return to Acting After Motherhood
Wong’s involvement in The Exiled 2 represents an important professional milestone after becoming a mother.
She took a break from acting in March 2025 to welcome her son with Siu. The couple announced the birth in the same month, revealing that their baby boy arrived on Siu’s birthday.
They married in 2018 after meeting while working on the television drama Madam Cutie On Duty in 2014.
Wong’s return to the screen demonstrates how her career is moving forward alongside her responsibilities as a parent. She has also spoken about initially feeling uncertain as she returned to acting, but said the support of her co-stars helped her regain confidence.
Her Malaysian production brings her together with Hong Kong actor Lai Lok Yi and Malaysian actor Henley Hii, among others.

When Is the Family Expected to Reunite?
According to reports published on November 9 and 10, Wong’s filming schedule in Malaysia was approaching its end, with Siu expecting his wife and son to return to Hong Kong in approximately a week.
The reunion is likely to be especially meaningful for the actor, who has openly acknowledged how difficult it has been to spend an extended period away from his child.
For now, the couple appears to have found a practical way to manage their separate professional commitments without requiring Wong to leave their son behind.
Their story is a reminder that celebrity family life is not always about glamorous appearances and public events. Sometimes, it involves making difficult scheduling decisions, relying on trusted friends and relatives, and finding ways to stay connected despite the distance.
WWC ONE MEDIA has also covered other celebrity family moments, including Taiwanese entertainer Nicky Wu’s emotional birthday tribute, which revisited the personal journey behind his long career.
As Wong wraps up her Malaysian filming commitment, Siu is waiting for the moment his family returns home. His joke about his son possibly forgetting him may have made people laugh, but the message behind it is clear: the busy actor is counting the days until they are together again.
