Billionaire heiress Kim Lim welcomes baby #2

Singaporean socialite and beauty entrepreneur Kim Lim’s second child has turned a month old.

She shared the news on Jan 3 by reposting Instagram stories of her friends and loved ones who had received a gift box from her that was meant to celebrate a baby’s full month. The gift box came with red eggs and a variety of sweet treats, as per Chinese tradition.

One of those who received the gift box by Creme Maison Bakery was local actress Rebecca Lim, who congratulated Lim and wrote: “Blessed full month little one”.

Lim first broke the news about her pregnancy on Aug 7, 2024, with a video on Instagram.

The video 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. She turned 33 in July.

In the video, Lim, dressed in a white cropped T-shirt and grey sweatpants, is seen crying and touching her baby bump while looking up at the sky. She was said to be five months pregnant then after going through rounds of in-vitro fertilisation.

Drones form words in the sky to wish her a happy birthday. They also form a cartoon-like image of a dragon to signify the current Chinese zodiac year. And they pose the questions: “Is it a girl? Is it a boy?” The video was cut off before the answer was revealed.

Lim has not disclosed the newborn’s gender and when she delivered her baby.

It is also not known who the father of her child is.

Lim, the daughter of Singaporean billionaire Peter Lim, has a son, Kyden, from her first marriage with Kho Bin Kai. The pair married in 2017 and divorced in 2020. Her firstborn turns eight in 2025.

She married her second husband Leslie Leow in a lavish, star-studded wedding in February 2022, but they split up two months later.
