Hugh Grant and ex-girlfriend Tinglan Hong have a 6-month-old daughter Tabitha.

While the actor was initially unsure of being a father, he’s starting to get into the groove of things. “Everyone was right all these years, saying, ‘Hugh, why don’t you have some children? It changes your life,’ ” Hugh tells Ellen.

Tabitha’s Chinese name is Jīng Xǐ, which means ‘Happy Surprise’ in Chinese.
