Artist Hai Yo and Wife Janna Find Breathing Room After Three Months of Intense Parenting

Malaysian artist Hai Yo is finding a rhythm with his wife, Ukrainian actress Janna, as they embrace the full-time demands of raising their two young children, Nene and Ji Ji. The couple recently marked nearly three months of intensive "2 vs 2" parenting, meaning they are handling childcare without external help.

The couple is slowly starting to 'breathe' as nighttime wake-ups have decreased from 3-4 times to 1-2 times.

Hai Yo described their initial phase as intense, with frequent nighttime disturbances. However, he noted a gradual improvement, with nighttime wake-ups reducing from three to four times to just one or two. This progress has allowed the couple to "breathe a little easier," he shared.

While acknowledging the exhaustion that comes with weekends when both children are active, Hai Yo emphasized the joy and cherished memories these moments create. He previously mentioned that their son, Ji Ji, had recovered from a cough, only to be infected by their daughter, Nene, who had started kindergarten. Nene is also reportedly going through an "emotional explosion phase," often insisting on her way.

The most tiring places are often where the most memories are made.

Reflecting on his parenting journey, Hai Yo finds that the most tiring aspects often yield the most significant memories. He offered encouragement to other parents struggling with childcare, assuring them that "it will get better and better," and urged them to "keep going, parents."

It will get better and better, let's keep going, parents.
