According to The Star , the couple visited Malaysia for the first time together on June 28 to attend a beauty product meet-and-greet at a local mall. During the event, Ma fondly recalled the significance of the country in their lives, saying "The first time I won Best Actor was in Malaysia. And our first couple appearance is also here."
"I hope that when we take our first baby abroad, it will be to Malaysia!"
Ma, 51, and Tong, 38, tied the knot in Dec. 2023 after three years of dating, but they have not yet had children. Speculation about Tong’s possible pregnancy surfaced during their visit, as she wore a loose-fitting top and long pants, and her figure appeared slightly fuller than usual.
However, Tong subtly shut down the rumors with humor and candor on Instagram. In one post, she wrote: "Just got my period while traveling – this is the worst timing. Any advice for fast pain relief?"
She followed up with another post: "Also, how do I calm my irritability? (My husband asked for me.) I’m about to explode!"
Tong later told reporters that the couple was leaving baby plans to fate, adding that they are currently "too busy" to focus on that chapter of their lives.
Ma, who made his acting debut in 1999, has won the Most Popular Male Character award at the TVB Anniversary Awards four times (2012, 2017, 2018, and 2021), becoming the actor with the most wins in that category.
Tong, who graduated from University College London with a degree in Psychology, initially worked as a model and competed in the Miss Hong Kong 2012 beauty pageant. She won several awards, including Tourism Ambassador, Beauty Sublimation, and Most Popular Pageant on Scene, and placed in the Top 6.
Following her pageant success, she joined TVB and embarked on her acting career.
