HONG KONG : First the marriage rumours, now comes pregnancy rumours.
Chinese actress Vicki Zhao is five months' pregnant and in Singapore preparing for her delivery, reported Hong Kong entertainment rag Next Magazine.
Zhao turned up for the Guangzhou premiere of her new film "Mulan" last month in a loose-fitting black dress, sparking rumours that she was pregnant.
According to Hong Kong media reports, the actress was already pregnant then had put on 10 kilogrammes, and was using her hands to conceal her tummy the entire night.
Her manager has refused to confirm or deny these reports, and sent an SMS to Hong Kong reporters stating that "Vicki will not talk about anything other than her work" and that she will "ignore media reports that seek to twist the truth".
Zhao was reportedly engaged to Chinese real estate magnate Huang You Long, 30, in August this year after Huang dumped his fiancee, Miss Hong Kong 2005 winner Tracy Ip, 28, to be with her.
A close friend of Zhao's has confirmed that the "Mulan" actress is indeed seeing Huang, but is unsure if they are married. When asked if Zhao is pregnant, said friend replied, "Impossible!"
"Long told Vicki that he wanted her to have his child shortly after they started dating. He said they would get married once they have a kid so Vicki gave up smoking and drinking after they got together... Even then, it's a surprise that she got pregnant so soon."
Zhao who is best known for her role in the Chinese drama serial "Princess Pearl" and the two "Red Cliff" films, was previously been linked to Chinese actor Chen Kun, Hong Kong actor-director Stephen Chow and Chinese table tennis player Wang Liqin.
