“We are officially parents!!” he shared on Instagram alongside a photo of him and his wife, Jeong Ah Wang, holding their newborn daughter, Lua.
Tron also revealed that the baby arrived a little early. “She was scheduled for March 6th on a Wednesday but nope she wanted to come sooner!

Chilli’s Granddaughter Was Born a Little Early
“She went into an emergency C section at 1pm. Our nerves were high and our anxiety was through the roof but despite all of that she powered through and gave birth to a healthy beautiful baby girl!”
He also shared his gratitude about starting a family: “This is a dream come true. We started dating on September 22,2018 fast forward almost 6 years later, we are married with our first child and life’s journey has now truly begun!”
In September 2023, the couple announced their baby news on Instagram. Tron revealed that it took many tries and procedures to get to that point: “2 HSG procedures , one hysteroscopy , removal of both tubes and scar tissue from hernia & appendicitis surgeries , one egg retrieval, one miscarriage.”
“IVF has tested us and blessed us through a year and a half journey,” he added.

Chilli has yet to publicly comment on the happy event, but she has previously shown fans glimpses into her relationship with her son, who she shares with ex Dallas Austin. For example, she posted on Instagram to celebrate Tron’s birthday.
“Happiest birthday, my young King,” she wrote in the caption of her post. “Looooooooooove you!!! I’m so blessed to be your momma.”
Could Chilli Also Become a Mom Again Soon?
Chilli is currently dating Matthew Lawrence. Even though she is now a grandma, the two have talked about children. “She’s an amazing person,” Lawrence, 44, shared with E! News. “She’s already a mother, she has an incredible son. I respect so much as to how she’s raised him. She’d be an incredible mother again, and I’d be incredibly lucky, but that’s way in the future.”
That said, Matthew, 43, who started dating the singer in 2022 after a break-up with his ex Cheryl Burke, also clarified that he didn’t want to pressure his partner – there are no actual plans to start a family in the immediate future, it was more something he thought would be great if it were to happen.
