HONG KONG, Aug 3 (AP) -- Hong Kong actress Cecilia Cheung has given birth to a baby boy, fathered by fellow star Nicholas Tse, a manager at Tse's record label EEG said.

The baby, who weighed 6 pounds and 8 ounces (2.9 kilograms), was born late Thursday, manager Mani Fok said, who added that mother and baby are healthy.

Fok's comments were posted on the Chinese news Web site Sina.com Friday.

Tse was quoted as saying he had married Cheung.

The couple appeared together in famed Chinese director Chen Kaige's mythological epic "The Promise."

Tse was once romantically linked to Chinese pop diva Faye Wong, who is now married to mainland Chinese actor Li Yapeng.
