After admitting being a lesbian in front of a crowd last year in November, Denise Ho (何韻詩) revealed her goal of becoming a mother within the next five years. When her lesbian announcement was mentioned, she appeared undisturbed. “I get asked this question wherever I go. Mainland China is different from Hong Kong, because everyone makes detours to get to the topic.” In terms of getting along with her other half, Denise expressed, “I think I’ve already shared my intimate parts to everyone. I still wish to retain a bottom line in my private life. I feel there is no need to take these parts out for everyone to see.” Denise did not avoid the topic of having children. “I really like children. When I was young and living in Canada, there were many Canadian couples who adopted Asian children. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, whether to give birth myself or to adopt. I hope I can educate children, allowing him or her to become someone with aspiration. As to when…perhaps within five years? Or else I’ll become a woman of advanced maternal age.” Earlier, reports circulated that Denise wants Greeny Wu (吴青峰) and Shawn Yue (余文乐) to donate sperm to fulfill her motherhood dreams. In the end, who does she want her future child’s father to be? Denise laughed and said, “I don’t know. Everyone understands it’s entertainment news. I just gave an answer so the reporters can complete his job.” Denise’s body suffered from her busy schedule of promoting her new Mandarin album, Coexistence <共存>, as well as her stage musical, Awakening <贾宝玉>. “After I came back from my Taiwan concert tour, I had more health issues. The stage musical has high physical body expectations. I’m not young anymore, so I’m recently learning breathing exercises to maintain my health.”
