Hong Kong actress Aimee Chan has been on maternity leave ever since
giving birth to her first child, Aiden Joshua, eight months ago. Reports
suggest that her prolonged absence is due to her husband, Moses Chan’s
refusal to allow her back to work, which has in turn led to a cold war
between the couple.
The 33-year-old shelved her career last year
in efforts to prepare for the impending birth of her baby but expressed a
keen interest in collaborating with a producer that she has worked with
before for an upcoming drama.
This idea was reportedly shot down
by Moses, who has declared his support for Aimee’s career publically
numerous times. He is said to have the opinion that their
eight-month-old son is still very in need of having his mother around
and disapproves of her leaving their son at home for long periods of
time while filming.
Recent rumours have added fuel to the fire,
claiming that Aimee has declared her unwillingness to have a second
child, which has raised Moses’ ire, who is said to be hoping to have
another child within the next two years.
Aimee’s decision is
supposedly because she feels that the education system is flawed and too
stressful, but Moses’s persistent insistence at having another child is
reportedly causing more problems between the two.
Despite reports
that Moses has employed two helpers to lift Aimee’s burden of household
chores, she is said to be inseparable from Aiden Joshua, whom never
leaves her hands for long and is still being breast-fed. She has also
allegedly suffering from fasciitis, the inflammation of the connective
tissue surrounding muscles, blood vessels and nerves, for the past four
months.
On top of that, she is said to already be mulling over
which kindergarten to send their baby boy to, leading to more stress on
the couple’s relationship.
