Had a daughter with Tinglan Hong

Hugh Grant had a daughter with Tinglan Hong, a relationship that garnered significant media attention. The couple's daughter was born in September 2011 and was given the Chinese name Jing Xi, which translates to 'happy surprise'. This name reflects the unexpected nature of her arrival in Grant's life. The media often misrepresented Hong's background, inaccurately labeling her as either a receptionist at a Chinese restaurant in London or a Chinese actress, which contributed to the public's fascination with their relationship. Grant later expressed that the media's portrayal of Hong was unfair and that she was 'badly treated' by the press. This situation highlights the challenges faced by public figures and their families when navigating personal relationships under the scrutiny of the media. The press intrusion surrounding their relationship not only affected Grant and Hong but also had implications for their daughter, who was thrust into the public eye from birth. The dynamics of their relationship and the subsequent media coverage illustrate the complexities of celebrity culture and the impact it can have on personal lives.
