Andy Lau’s (劉德華) wife, 47-year-old Carol Chu (朱麗倩), is reportedly four months pregnant. For months, Hong Kong media outlets speculated that Andy and Carol desired to have another child, preferably a son. Sporting added weight in her mid-section, Carol was spotted visiting a physician for a checkup recently in Central, Hong Kong. Since Andy’s daughter, Hanna Lau (劉向蕙), was born in May 2012, he has slowed down his work output to devote more time to the family. He enjoyed fatherhood and was fully responsible for caring for Hanna once he returns from work. After his daughter turned one year old, Andy was eager to have another sibling play with Hanna. Since Hanna weighed under six pounds at birth due to Carol’s primarily vegetarian diet, Andy has hired a nutritionist to create more balanced meals at home. Carol has been taking DHA prenatal supplements to ensure the baby develops healthily. In Carol’s first trimester of pregnancy, Andy did not allow her to step outside since he was concerned about her health. When the paparazzi spotted Carol sporting her pregnant body at the Beijing Capital International Airport earlier this month, the speculations were finally confirmed. Around 11 a.m. on November 2, a conservatively-dressed Carol was seen at the Beijing airport, hiding her bulging stomach with a shawl. She was in high spirits, and was accompanied by three bodyguards and assistant when she exited the airport terminal. Andy, currently on his “Always 2013 China Tour,” was holding his four-day Beijing tour at the time of Carol’s visit on November 2. Busy with his mainland tour, it was reported that Andy had asked Carol’s sister from Malaysia to stay in Hong Kong for the meantime to care for Carol. Andy has already been adjusting his work schedule next year to accommodate the upcoming birth of the baby. Despite various media outlets reporting on Carol’s pregnancy, Andy has not responded to the news reports yet. Creds: ihktv
