The granddaddy of all baby daddy mysteries rages on.

Ever since Cecilia Cheung announced the arrival of her third and youngest son Marcus, netizens and the media have been racking their brains trying to figure out the identity of the child’s father, a secret the Hongkong actress will probably take to the grave.

The speculation party was reignited again recently after Ceci shared a few videos of herself drawing with a little boy, whom some media reports believe is Marcus, on her Instagram Stories yesterday (Aug 30). In the clips, she is seen helping to pick out markers as he draws people, presents, and a cake with candles, suggesting that they are making a birthday card together. But who is it for?

The word on the card that really got folks talking was “Daddy”, which, coupled with the fact that Ceci’s ex-husband Nicholas Tse had just celebrated his 40th birthday on August 29, pretty much sent the rumour mill into overdrive.

To sum it up: netizens are once again suspecting that Nic is the father of Ceci’s third child — even though he denied this already — ‘cos a boy they assume to be Marcus was seen making a birthday card for “Daddy” just a day after Nic turned 40. However, we think this is just another case of wishful thinking.

First of all, the boy in Ceci’s posts sounds too old to be Marcus, who only turns two in November this year. The drawing also looks far too advanced for something a 21-month-old toddler can produce, and the hands shown look nothing like the tiny, chubby ones seen on Marcus in Ceci’s rare photo of him that was shared just three months ago.

Then there’s the actual wording on the card itself. While media outlets appeared to only focus on the word “Daddy”, the entire phrase actually reads “Mommy’s Daddy”, which means the boy could be making a birthday card for his grandfather (but uh, don’t ask us why he didn’t actually just write “grandpa” or something).

In December last year, Ceci posted a photo with her father to wish him happy birthday, so there is actually still over three months to go before Marcus’ actual “Mommy’s Daddy’s” birthday, further proving that a) The boy in the IG Stories is not Marcus, and b) Nicholas really has nothing to do with this.

Still, something tells us that we haven’t seen the last of internet sleuths trying to figure out who Marcus’ father is.
