Since March this year, rumours that Edison Chen was finally settling down and starting a family started to circulate. This came after industry insiders revealed that he and his girlfriend, Chinese model Qin Shupei, were expecting their first child together.
Although neither party has confirmed nor denied the pregnancy rumours, recent reports suggest that Shupei has secretly delivered their daughter in the United States.
Making his return to Hong Kong for the first time since the speculation started, reporters awaited the 36-year-old’s arrival and rushed towards him in an attempt to verify the rumours.
Among the first words to the media were, “I often go on holiday” in response to queries on where he was before returning to Hong Kong. Shortly after, his patience wore thin as he lashed out at the reporters who repeatedly asked about Shupei and their alleged daughter.
He also whipped out his phone to record the situation, while threatening that he would no longer hold back if they continued their relentless probing.
With the media trailing after him, Edison got even more upset with them, with some media outlets reporting that he was on the verge of physically attacking them.
He did, however, shout, “I’m a terrible person!” before quickly escaping to the carpark with his manager’s assistance.
