Taiwanese actor Vic Chou is preparing for his next big role - as a father. A new report claims that actress Reen Yu is pregnant with her first child with Chou.
Multiple sources claim that the Taiwanese actress and model is three months along in her pregnancy and that her spouse is "over the moon" about his impending fatherhood. Nearly five months after the couple registered their marriage, Chou and Yu were spotted at a postpartum care center in Taiwan on March 29, Manila Bulletin has learned.
The 28-year-old soon-to-be-mother reportedly conceived at the start of the year, but wanted to keep the pregnancy under wraps until the perfect time. It has been reported that the married couple inquired about the center's facilities and services, seemingly planning in advance for the birth of their first child.
Another report came claiming that the couple reportedly chooses the said postpartum care center, as it is known to be a top choice for many celebrities after they give birth due to the center's good, healthy meals and tight security.
The happy news was recently confirmed by Chou's manager, who revealed that the F4 member is very happy and excited to become a father.
"Vic is happy and excited. As he's a first-time father, he has much to learn, thus, he purchased a number of books to research and learn more about pregnancy and about caring for a baby," Toogle quoted Chou's manager as saying.
Chou's manager also said that the actor wanted to thank everyone for their well-wishes and blessings. He also revealed that Yu may postpone the renewal of her contract to concentrate more on her health and her family, especially now that she is pregnant.
It has been reported that the married couple has decided to keep the gender of their unborn baby and Yu's expected delivery date as a secret. However, it is also worth noting that these reports have neither been confirmed nor denied by either Chou or Yu.
Nonetheless, the reports did not come as a big shock to their fans, as Chou and Yu have previously said that they have plans to have a baby when inquired whether they are going to start a family of their own. The couple dated for four years after they first met on the set of the crime drama titled "Black & White."
Chou is the first F4 member to become a father, while actress Barbie Hsu, who played Shan Cai in "Meteor Garden," is now around seven months pregnant with her second child. The group's former leader, Jerry Yan, is the only bachelor left.
