On January 19, Hawick Lau (劉愷威) announced that his wife Yang Mi (楊冪) is pregnant on his Weibo blog. Though the couple never officially announced the gender of their baby, the media speculated that the couple’s first-born will be a daughter. According to various reports, the producer of Hawick’s upcoming mainland Chinese drama Lady and the Liar <千金女賊>, Chen Yu Shan (陳玉珊), accidentally slipped in a recent interview that Hawick may be expecting a daughter. She described Yang Mi and the baby as Hawick’s “wife and daughter”. She also revealed that Hawick was very willing to abstain from eating meat for three years for his family, earning the respect of the staff and crew. According to Chinese tradition, vegetarianism is believed to ensure long and happy lives. Hawick himself also may have hinted the gender of his first-born, as he admitted to wanting a daughter at an interview on the set of Lady and the Liar last week. “I’m sure that most fathers out there would prefer daughters,” Hawick said. Mainland Chinese media reported that Hawick and Yang Mi have been inseparable since their marriage in early January 2014. As both artists are currently filming for their respective projects in Shanghai, the couple would always try to find time to visit each other on set despite their busy schedules. The staff said Hawick would always greet Yang Mi in the same manner – first a hug, second a peck on her head, and third a kiss on her lips. Creds: Oncc
