The Crazy Rich Asians star shared the news by posting a photo of the couple on social media. In the image, the actor stood behind his wife — whose baby bump was clearly visible — so that only his hands, which were placed over his wife’s stomach, were visible. Making a comically surprised face, the expectant mother, who is also an actress, held her hands up to her cheeks.

There are so many traditions. I hope to continue the tradition to decorate the whole house with red lanterns and locks turned upside down for good luck,” he continued. “When my mom makes dumplings, she is an expert — I’m just trying to keep food inside the dough,” joked the Glee alum. “I’m hoping to pass it on so my wife and I can be expert-level dumpling makers and be able to pass that down to our kids.” Harry Shum Jr. and Shelby Rabara.
