Malaysian comedian Nigel Ng, popularly known for his Uncle Roger persona on social media, announced on Monday (Jun 22) that he and his wife, Sabrina Ahmed, have welcomed their first child.
The news comes about four months after the couple revealed that they were expecting a baby.
According to Ng, his child, whose gender has not been publicly revealed, had spent a week in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of Huntington Hospital in the US.
"Bringing you home today is the most special Father’s Day," wrote Ng.
He also thanked the doctors and staff of the hospital "for looking after [them] and bringing this joy into [their] lives".
"Somewhere I hear my Uncle whispering, 'Put MSG on baby, it’ll be better baby, smarter'," joked Ng in his post.
Nigel Ng and Sabrina Ahmed got married in 2025, in a lavish three-day wedding in Portugal, which was “a blend of Malaysian, Chinese and Bengali traditions”, according to publication Vogue, which attended the ceremony.
According to Ng, the couple matched on a dating app and had their first in-person meeting at Boston Airport.
“Within a few months, in March 2023, I realised already that I loved her and wanted to spend the rest of my life with her. The rest is history," said Ng, who popped the question in 2024 in Tokyo.
