Girlfriends & Complicated Dating Life

The Love Actually actor had a rough period in his life over the next few years. In January 2011, he began dating Tinglan Hong. The same year on September 26, he became a father for the first time to daughter Tabitha Grant. Though Hugh and Tinglan did welcome a child together, their relationship didn’t last.
Hugh moved on and began dating Swedish producer Anna Eberstein. Their relationship progressed swiftly, and Anna became pregnant.Â
Shockingly, the actor became a topic of discussion at the same time. As it turned out, his ex-girlfriend Tinglan Hong was pregnant with his third child at the same time when Anna was pregnant.Â
Hugh, alongside Anna, welcomed a son named John Mungo Grant in September of 2012. Less than five months later, Tinglan gave birth to Felix Chang Grant on 16 February 2013.
Though the incident brought about a lot of rumors, Hugh’s relationship with Anna remained stable. The couple had their second (his fourth) child on 16 December 2015 and their third child in May of 2019.
