Kuala Lumpur: Comedian and YouTuber Nigel Ng, known for his online persona Uncle Roger, has become a father.
The 35-year-old announced the news in an Instagram post today (June 22), writing: “And then there were three. After a week in the NICU, bringing you home today is the most special Father’s Day.”
He thanked medical staff in the United States for their care during the hospital stay and ended his post with a light-hearted reference: “Somewhere I hear my Uncle whispering, ‘Put MSG on baby, it’ll be better baby, smarter...’”
Ng married his lawyer girlfriend, Sabrina Ahmed, in July 2025 after two years together, with the wedding celebrations held over three days in Sintra, Portugal, blending Malaysian and Bengali traditions.
The festivities included a three-hour sunset cruise, a sangeet, Chinese and Western tea ceremonies, and a lavish reception.
In February, the couple announced in a joint Instagram post that they were expecting their first child, with Ng writing at the time: “New nephew coming soon!”
The announcement was met with congratulatory messages, including one from celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay.
