Late Casino King Son Mario Ho’s Supermodel Wife Accidentally Posts Vid That Shows Their 2-Year-Old Son’s Face
Oops.
Late Casino King Stanley Ho’s youngest son Mario Ho, 26, and his Chinese supermodel wife Ming Xi, 32, may live very high-profile lives (comes with the territory when you’re from one of Asia’s richest and most powerful families), but the couple is extremely protective of their son Ronaldo, who turns two in October.
Just like Jay Chou and Hannah Quinlivan, Cecilia Cheung, and Joanne Peh and Qi Yuwu, both Mario and Ming Xi take extra care to conceal their child’s face in their social media posts. But no thanks to a recent social media slip-up, the world now knows what little Ronaldo looks like.
Last Saturday (Jul 31), Ming Xi, who is pregnant with her second kid, shared two clips of Mario playing with Ronaldo in the car.
While she remembered to add a cartoon sun sticker over Ronaldo in one of the videos, the other gave everyone a full and very clear view of the toddler’s face for the first time.
Upon realising her mistake, Ming Xi quickly deleted the posts, but not before netizens with astonishingly fast fingers — seriously, how do they do it!? — managed to take screenshots and put them online for others who missed it.
Media reports describe Ronaldo as having his mother’s eyes, as well as his father’s nose, mouth, and face shape. He was also shown to have a very lively personality, dancing and pointing excitedly to something outside the vehicle.
However, that wasn’t all that netizens were talking about.
Some pointed out that Mario and Ming Xi may have violated the law by failing to put Ronaldo into a child safety seat, which was made mandatory in China in June.
Guess that gave Ming Xi two reasons to take down the videos ASAP.
