These new reports alleged that Carol gave birth to a baby outside of Hong Kong in early August and that she is currently in the midst of her post-natal confinement.
According to sources, the 50-year-old was said to have gone to great lengths to get pregnant with a baby boy to add to their family lineage and fulfil Andy’s wishes of having a son.
Carol was said to have sought the advice of a fertility specialist, Dr. William So Wai Ki, and a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, Master Chan Tai, to help increase her pregnancy chances while undergoing IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation) treatment.
She was last seen attending her husband’s early birthday celebration (Andy turned 55 on September 27), dressed in black loose-fitting clothes, looking tired and weary.
In March this year, the former Malaysian beauty queen was photographed in Hong Kong with a protruding belly and was speculated to be four months pregnant then. Andy did not address these reports officially, although he promised to “announce the news” on his official website if it’s true, at the red carpet ceremony for the 35th Hong Kong film Awards in April this year.
Andy married Carol in 2008, and their first daughter, Hanna Lau, was born in 2012.
