The following year, Leong gave birth to their first son. For this, Leong was allowed to use Li's family mansions in San Francisco.

Channel News Asia noted some speculation about a large pre-nuptial agreement. A 100-day-old banquet was held for her son from July 9–11, 2009, for three consecutive days, with some of the city's celebrities like Stanley Ho and his second wife Lam Wan Ying, and Tsang Yam Pui and his wife having been spotted in attendance.
In June 2010, Leong gave birth to Li's twin sons in San Francisco.
