In August 2020, PEOPLE reported that the "Fresh Off the Boat" alum had welcomed her first child with boyfriend Ryan Kattner, the frontman for the band Man Man. Wu had not previously disclosed that she was expecting, so news of her newborn came as a surprise to many fans.

In May, Wu appeared on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," where she opened up about her baby girl. "I had a beautiful baby girl in August. She's the best, she's the best," she told host Jimmy Fallon. "She has a full head of hair. She has a blue butt."

She said that her daughter had a "Mongolian Spot," which is medically known as congenital melanocytosis. It's a flat, blue-ish birthmark that appears at birth or in the first few weeks after birth in some babies. "Apparently, it happens in a lot of Asian babies, and my boyfriend and I are both Asian," Wu explained.

She joked that Kattner "actually wrote a song about her blue butt. So, that will be on his next album."
