Chinese actress Tang Wei, who married a South Korean film director, gave birth to a healthy girl, according to her Instagram.
The 36-year-old wife of Kim Tae-yong, uploaded a photo of herself saying the baby weighed 3.41 kilograms (7.5 lbs). Chinese media reports said the baby was delivered at a hospital in Hong Kong.
In July 2014, Tang married Kim, but a formal wedding ceremony was later held in Hong Kong, with only immediate family members as guests. The couple met in 2009 when Kim directed her in the romantic drama Late Autumn.
Tang shot to international fame with her role in Ang Lee’s 2007 spy thriller set in the World War II era, which won the Venice Film Festival’s best film award.
She played a Chinese student recruited to seduce a Japanese-allied Chinese official as part of an assassination plot. The film is still Tang's best-known work outside Asia. After a three-year hiatus for unknown reasons, she has been frequently spotted on screens in Asia from theatres to TV ads.
