In 1999, Wong and Richie Jackson hired a surrogate to carry their child. The surrogate gave birth to twin boys on May 28, 2000. One twin, Boaz Dov Wong, died 90 minutes after birth from twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome; the surviving son, Jackson Foo Wong, was adopted by the couple.
Wong chronicled the emotional journey in his 2003 memoir, Following Foo: The Electronic Adventures of the Chestnut Man, which also served as his public coming-out. Jackson is also openly gay, having come out at age 15, and the father-son relationship has been described as close in Distractify’s profile of the actor.
