Chinese actor Lee-hom Wang announced that his wife Lee Jinglei is five months pregnant at an after party celebrating his concert in Xi'an, Shaanxi province on May 18, 2014.

Wang, who turned 38 on May 17, thanked his wife for "giving him the best birthday present ever."

"I'd like to take this opportunity to share this great news with everyone. From now on, it's one plus one equals three for us," said Wang.

The singer-songwriter, who married Lee in November 2013, has already given the nickname "Wang Yi ("yi" means 1 in Chinese)" to his unborn child.

"My fans call me 'Wang Er (which means number 2 in Chinese)', so I decided to call my baby 'Wang Yi.' It's the character that has the least strokes," Wang said jokingly.
