Electric New Paper
Baby boy for Diana and
James
27 October 2006
AND baby makes three.
Diana Ser and her husband, actor-turned-banker James Lye, 37, are
set to welcome their first baby, Jacob Lye.
The 34-year-old TV host is delivering her son, who will be called
Jake for short, this morning via a caesarean section.
In an interview with The New Paper before she went to the hospital
yesterday, Diana said that she was 'excited and a little bit
frightened.'
She couldn't go through a natural birth because she had surgery
early last year to remove fibroids from her womb.
When asked why the name Jake, the new mum said with a little laugh:
'You should ask his daddy. He picked the name.'
Diana, who is the host of Channel NewsAsia's talkshow Get Rea!,
will be leaving MediaCorp next month.
'Technically I am on maternity leave right now. My contract ends in
mid-November,' she said.
Diana said she hadn't really given much thought about her
post-MediaCorp plans.
'I will take three months to look after my baby and I will
seriously think about my plans then.
'It depends on what happens in the next few months.'
When pressed, all she would add is that she is exploring options in
the media line.
'I am talking to a couple of parties right now but it's too
premature to give details,' she said.
