Kim Lim broke the news with a video on Instagram which showed her celebrating her birthday and having a gender reveal party. SINGAPORE – Singaporean socialite and beauty entrepreneur Kim Lim has announced her pregnancy on social media. She broke the news with a video on Instagram on Aug 7, which showed her celebrating her birthday and having a gender reveal party with a massive fireworks display on a yacht along the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok, Thailand, on Aug 6.
She turned 33 in July. In the video, Lim, dressed in a white cropped T-shirt and grey sweatpants, was seen crying and holding her baby bump while looking up at the sky. Drones formed words in the sky to wish her a happy birthday.
They also formed a cartoon-like image of a dragon to signify the current Chinese zodiac year. And they posed the questions: “Is it a girl? Is it a boy?” The video cut off before the answer was revealed. Lim, the daughter of Singaporean billionaire tycoon Peter Lim, has a seven-year-old son, Kyden, from her first marriage with Kho Bin Kai.
The pair married in 2017 and divorced in 2020. She married her second husband Leslie Leow – who is in his 30s and reportedly worked in the IT industry – in a lavish, star-studded wedding in February 2022, but they split up two months later. It is not known who the father of her unborn child is or when her due date is.
Given the reference to the dragon zodiac sign, it is likely that she is due within the current zodiac year, which ends on Jan 28, 2025. In a caption accompanying the video, Lim, who said she had been waiting for this moment for a long time, indicated that she embraced her status as a single mother. She wrote: “My heart especially goes out to all the single mothers out there.
I understand the journey can be incredibly tough, especially when there are fewer resources available for you compared with married couples. The struggle is real, and it’s okay to feel overwhelmed. “But please know, single mummies, we see you, we recognise your strength and we want you to know that you’re not alone on this journey.
We are here for you because we truly care. Your resilience and dedication are inspiring, and together, we can support one another through the challenges.” She added that she will be giving away recovery and post-partum vouchers to support pregnant women while celebrating her own pregnancy.
She will also offer “extra essentials” to help single mothers. Her post did not make it clear how she would be giving away the vouchers. A post shared by KIM LIM (@kimlimhl) The gender reveal party, organised by the luxury events planner Lelian Chew, included guests such as local influencer Jian Hao Tan and his wife Debbie Soon.
Soon posted on Instagram a shot of herself with Tan and Lim, and said: “Oh, how you have planned and longed for this, and watching how you’ve gone through so much for this little dragon makes me emotional. I am over the moon for you, big sis. Little baby is already so loved by us all.
