Fann Wong rumoured to be pregnant
The MediaCorp actress, who is said to be in her first trimester of pregnancy, is currently taking a break from work
If the rumours are true, local actors Christopher Lee and Fann Wong will welcome a “horse” baby this year.
According to an insider from showbiz, MediaCorp Ah Jie Fann Wong is said to be expecting her first child with Chris and is in her first trimester of pregnancy. Said insider revealed that the couple have yet to announce the news due to “Chinese pregnancy taboos” that consider it inauspicious to announce one’s pregnancy during the first trimester.
In response to these rumours, a representative from Fann’s management agency, Catwalk Asia, shared that Fann has been on “a long break” since Christmas last year. She also explained that Catwalk is only in charge of managing their artistes’ work schedules and “do not interfere” in their personal lives.
Catwalk’s rep also shared that Fann “personally requested” to go on a long break this time around and would resume work “once she finds a good movie or drama script.”
“We will definitely share the good news [if Fann is pregnant] with everyone,” she added.
Since Fann signed a contract with Catwalk Asia early last year, she has been based overseas for long periods of time for work. On top of participating in overseas drama productions, she has also made numerous commercial appearances at fashion and entertainment-related events.
Fann and her actor hubby Chris are currently in Singapore to celebrate her 43rd birthday (which is coincidentally today) and to spend the upcoming Chinese New Year celebrations with their families. The couple are said to have been trying for a baby since they got married in September 2009.
Fann’s husband, Chris, and the couple’s good friend and celebrity hairstylist, David Gan, could not be reached for comments at press time.
so which one is it?
Is she or isn’t she?
The buzz on Caldecott Hill is that the TV star has a bun in the oven, but is unwilling to announce her pregnancy now.
Wong celebrated her 43rd birthday with husband, actor Christopher Lee, and close friends, celebrity hairstylist David Gan and film and television producer Anita Hatta, on Monday.
The group fed the rumour mill by posting a cheeky photo of themselves on Gan’s Instagram account, with their fingers pressed against their mouths, suggesting that they are keeping a secret.
When asked if Wong had any news regarding an addition to her family, a spokesman for Catwalk, a Taiwanese modelling and artist agency managing her and actor-husband Christopher Lee, said: “Not that we know of”.
