Henry Golding is one proud dad! The "Crazy Rich Asians" star and his wife, Liv Lo Golding, welcomed their first child in March 2021 after announcing they were expecting in November 2020. The couple, who tied the knot in August 2016, recently expanded their family, welcoming their second child, a daughter, in September 2023.
Since becoming parents, Henry and Liv seem to be making the most out of their family time by going on walks, celebrating holidays, and just being together. In a previous interview with People, Liv spoke about celebrating APIA culture with her daughter, Lyla. "I moved to the US about three years ago," she shared. "So [APIA culture] is relatively new for me . . . I do have a daughter. So for me, it's really about catching up quick and learning all the amazing culture that we have here and how it's been established and learning about our community leaders and kind of trying to create an ecosystem really for ourselves, but also for her."
Liv also said she's always looking for new ways to celebrate her heritage with Lyla, adding, "Just celebrating with my daughter, going to restaurants — she really loves Asian food. Reading books to her such as Eva Chen's 'I Am Golden' . . . that highlights awareness that you can teach her at a young age. So I'm really happy that we already have these resources that I can tap into."

Lyla Golding
Henry and Liv welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Lyla, on March 31, 2021. Both parents shared Instagram posts surrounding their baby girl's birth on April 5, 2021. In the caption of a black-and-white family photo, Henry wrote of Liv: "This woman right here. Beyond anything I could have ever imagined. Your strength brought us our greatest joy. Thank you, I love you ♥️"
Liv shared a gallery of photos of the day she gave birth, writing, "On March 31st our lives changed forever."
In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, Henry shared a bit about what his daughter was like at just 3 months old. "Every morning it's like she comes up with something new, something exciting," he said. "She makes this look at you or she smiles. Every day is a joy."
Florence Likan Golding
Born on Sept. 9, 2023, Florence Likan Golding is the couple's second child. The proud parents announced their daughter's birth in a post on Liv's Fitsphere website a month later. "This birth story is not what was expected. It being my second time to give birth, I thought I was fairly prepared for what was to come. I had the same OBGYN, the same birthing doula, and the same birth plan to deliver at the same hospital as with my first child Lyla," Liv wrote. "This time around the only thing I wanted to do differently was to have a spontaneous vaginal delivery. With Lyla, I had an induction at 40 weeks. Everything had gone smoothly, but for this second birth, I was staying open to allow my body and baby to lead the journey. As I write this in the NICU this one choice paved the way for a totally different experience than my last birth and different postpartum altogether."
She continued: "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. 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. While at the time the process was utterly devastating I have no regrets about choosing a spontaneous vaginal delivery nor do I hold any ill feelings towards the process."
