Andy Lau’s Wife Seeks Help for Second Pregnancy?
Taiwanese tabloid outlets recently reported that Andy Lau (劉德華) and Carol Chu (朱麗倩) are looking forward to expanding their family, and Carol was recently seen seeking a Chinese physician for traditional advice.
Secretly together since 1986 and married for a year before their relationship was exposed in 2009, Andy and Carol welcomed their first child, Hanna Lau (劉向蕙), in May 2012. Since the birth of their daughter, Andy has reduced his work load to spend more time with his family.
In January 2013, rumors surfaced that Andy confessed to his close friends and family that he wants a “snake boy” and desires to give his daughter a sibling. The same rumors surfaced again in May, but Andy dismissed the rumors during a press conference for his film, Switch <天机·富春山居图>, in July 2013.
But are the rumors really true? In May, Andy and Carol were spotted participating in a prayer at a Buddhist temple. Last week, Carol was seen visiting a traditional Chinese doctor in Causeway Bay.
Plain-faced and casually dressed, Carol was accompanied by three body guards when she entered a pharmacy. She then visited Chong Shun Kit (莊純傑), a traditional Chinese doctor known for treating celebrities. Chong was also rumored to have helped Andy and Carol with their first pregnancy.
Carol left the clinic 15 minutes later, holding a large bag of Chinese herbs and medicine. Asked if the 46-year-old Carol is interested in chasing after another baby, Andy’s manager replied, “No comment.”

I really want to see a picture of hanna 🙁
i never see his wife smile on tv,she always looks at the ground if she walks past the media as if she is a prisoner in andy’s world.
She might be cos Andy wants to keep her away from neitzens
Kolo, smart observation. There are still some smart ones out there. Like for instance….you.
It is hard to be a the wife of any famous movie star. In Andy’s case, he still has some crazy fans out there who still wish to be with him so it is sort of understandable to some extent.
Andy is a sick man with the way he keeps her under wraps………totally sick man.
If Andy is sick, then all of the other celebs that do so are sick as well???
yes he is sick and all the others who do so are also sick. love is not a crime,there are many well known superstars who are married for years, are still a happy couple now. for example fat gor,simon yam,samo hung,and many others.its very harsh for your wife and doesnt make sense to hide the mariage for years because some crazy fans doesnt want you to get married.
Hi Kolo, I think probably the more suitable word to use to describe Andy Lau is “overly protective” & not sick.
Some ppl are extremely private, being an artiste they know that ppl usually like to find out their personal life so some of them will find ways to put it under wrap.
I personally think Andy Lau is kind of overdone it. What’s wrong if the media snapped a few photos of the daughter? To me no big deal, she’s a baby girl & she’s not the only girl on this earth. She’s not an alien. But, after all these years, most of us who reads gossip news know that Andy Lau is extremely private about his personal life & he’s overly protective of his wife & child.
@bloom,being protective for your family is a good thing but overly is a form of mentaly ilness,there is an thin line between overly protective and control freak. being lau wah’s wife and children you have then limited freedom i think.
@Bloom,
Well said and I really agree with you…. When you are in the circle or are a public figure, you have to be even more extra cautious when it comes to protecting family or anyone. We all know how scary the press is and how some “fans” can be as well… They can all get scary and creepy.
Agree with you HTS. Also, maybe it’s his wife who don’t like the publicity – Just like Jackie Chan’s wife. If she’s the type who likes to hog the limelight and an attention grabber, I doubt Andy can keep her under wraps for so long.
andy has some crazy ass fans, and plus you know how the paparazzi’s are, invade privacy and etc. andy doesn’t want people invading family privacy.
good luck..
At age 46 … she’s putting herself and baby at risk. Surrogacy might be her her best choice
She is 47, not 46.
He has only himself to blame if Carol cant bear him a son.Serves him right for coming clean on the relationship at such a late stage.
In bio science an egg age is same age as yourself it means if you are 46 the egg is as old as 46 as well as the quality and intelligence are decreased.
So many orphans in HK and all they can think of is trying to get pregnant at an old and possibly unsafe age. They were blessed with 1 baby already, why be selfish and try for 2?
Why is adoption such an ugly word in the East?
such an intelligent comment…
i also agree that the east really views adoption as a burden instead of as a blessing.
Because an adopted child is not your own blood and flesh.
Agree! I think it’s selfish of the parents (especially Andy) to want the woman to get get pregnant at 46. Come on! They already have a child so who cares what sex it is? There are millions of couples who desire children and would be thrilled to have ‘ONLY’ one!
True, but seriously, do any of us truly know for sure if Andy “forced” her?? I have a feeling that she may still want to try for a son OR just to have another biological sibling for Hanna. We honestly do not know for sure and it is not fair to say that it is just Andy forcing her to get pregnant just so he can try to get a son.
not directly forced her,but indirectly yes he caused this.because he is the one who cause her late pregnancy.and again if he want an heir he should consider the risk for his wife health.
thats because he wants an heir. by the time his children become adult he is already 70 years old like parick tse.
Well, Patrick may have married in his early 30s (which back in those days was considered late) but he had never put his relationship under the blanket like AL who still thinks he’s the best looking chap with the most money to burn and who deserves the Best Actor award. What a load of *. To make Carol ‘invisible’ all these years and with her ‘fertile years’ behind her, he had the gall to expect a son !!! He should wake up. And Carol is obviously happy to be under his rule, yet again, to put herself at risk. But having said that, AL will of course spend millions again to get this ‘boy’.
I agree that people should consider adopting but it is a long process and sadly many are too selfish and lazy to go through that adoption process.It is great to adopt IF you do not have any of your own kids. If you already do, many tend to treat their biological child better than the adopted one. I think that is so unfair to the adopted kid. Some parents that adopt kids can be selfish too but in different ways. For example, in my family I have an uncle and aunt that were on their second marriage. My uncle did not have any of his own kids while his second wife(my current aunt in law) has one of her own kids spoils her son even though he is a lazy guy just parties and does nothing for a living and leeches off of her even though he lives in a different country. But my adopted cousin works hard to raise her and my aunt lives off of her and even tells her to support her lazy son and his family. My aunt in law also refuses to let her know that she is adopted(but she already knows that)and will not allow her to know who her biological parents are(she and my uncle used to know them back in the days)and her biological mother passed away. More recently, her biological father passed away due to lack of financial resources and illness. Her biological brother lost a leg due to trying to gather metals to sell to try to make a living. But my aunt in law is still so selfish to even let my adopted cousin know and contact or help her biological brother. It is really sad and I feel that adoption can be good, but there are a lot of other complicated issues that can come along with it too… It can be a blessing or a burden just like with anything. However, I think it depends on the situation and how we all handle it.
Hi HeThieShou, I agree with you. Human beings are after all human beings. No matter how nice we’re we still have greed, selfishness & so forth. My father divorced with my mom since I was 5/6 yrs old. My step mother hates me like hell even now, she forbids my father to visit me so eversince they got married he hardly visit me. They have a daughter, the treatment is very different, in my father’s eyes, I never exist because I never lived with him. He treated my step sister so well & worst thing is he hardly visited me. So, imagine your own flesh & blood can be different let alone adopt? I’ve also seen some ppl who cant have child on their own & they adopt, once they’ve adopted a child, they managed to get children of their own. Then they started to treat the adopted child less nice. Of course not all adopted parents are like that but sad but it’s true there are many like that especially once they’ve their own children.
Hi Bloom,
Thanks for sharing your experience and am so sorry to hear about your situation. I know what you mean. Even biological kids are not treated equally so of course when it comes to biological versus adopted, the biological kids usually get the advantages. I am the only daughter in my family and from a young age, I can tell how sexist my parents are since they are very traditional.
I feel bad for adopted kids and orphans because from birth, their future is already so sad and uncertain and it was not even their choice. Some are lucky to get adopted by good parents, however, if they already have their own kids then the adopted ones often do not get as good as treatment as the biological kids. Of course it is not like that in every case, but you have to admit that that is generally true. Most would love their own blood over kids that are not their own blood which is sad but true in many cases.
Panzer, I am cool with your thinking. I agree with you. . I am no doc or anything near the medical profession, but I will not agree to my wife wanting babies at. Carol’s age. It is a health factor that is highly risky for mom and baby. Unless the tid bits that I heard are true. That Andy has Carol put on weight, prance around in public with false tummy, while surrogate mom is paid handsomely to keep quiet and carry baby. I heard Andy is a perfectionist , a control freak and a vain narcissist, who will not risk having a baby born with birth defects at Carol’s age. Hence the surrogate. I am just saying what I heard.
Well, to be fair, none of us know Andy personally so what we hear may or may not be 100% true. Andy is a person, so of course he will have good and bad just like anyone. I have many good things about him and some bad, but of course if you like him then you will believe the good and do not want to believe the bad. But if you hate him then of course you will more likely believe the bad versus the good. That goes for everyone we like or do not like.
Anyways, from what I feel… Whether a woman wants to get pregnant or not, in the end it is still her choice. No one can truly force her to if she truly does not want to. Recently, my 3rd sister in law just had her second son and did not want anyone kids. However, my brother convinced her to have one more kid right after the second son because he wanted a dragon. I was shocked since I have known my brother my whole life and never knew that he was ever into that kind of zodiac type of stuff. In the end, my sister in law agreed to have the third baby even though she was not that thrilled, however, she still accepted because she thought about it and wanted to at her own will since there was nothing my brother can do to “force” her if she really did not want to. Basically, she had her second and third baby back to back. But in the end, it was HER choice and no one else’s because it is her body and she was the one that was going to carry the baby, not my brother or anyone. Not trying to defend Andy but just trying to be fair regardless if I like him or not. The main point is, we truly do not know for sure what is going on so we should not just assume that Andy is forcing Carol to have another baby at this age. It is still possible to have a healthy baby since I have seen people older than Carol have healthy babies before. It just depends on the health of the mother and other factors as well besides age.
It does not take flesh and blood to love others. My wife and I are in the process of adopting two little ones from Hong kong. We went back there recently to iron out some details. that is why I was missing from here for awhile. My older children are very excited about getting a little brother and sister.
This is so true. The world needs more beautiful souls like you.
I wonder if people don’t realize that most adopted children, if they are treated well and not abused, love their parents more than most natural kids. They realize how special and lucky they are to be rescued and given love and a fair chance at a good life.
Their parents are real heroes to them.
Lots of natural kids don’t realize how lucky they are and take what they have for granted. Adopted kids know full well what they were destined for and how lucky they are to be adopted by loving parents who have hearts big enough to look past blood.
“Grateful” has an extra special meaning that no natural child could ever understand or know.
That is true but not all adopted kids are grateful to their parents for raising them. I have seen cases where some are so ungrateful and are all talk and no play. It is also true that many biological kids do tend to take what they have for granted. It is true that a lot of adopted kids treat their parents better than biological kids and have I seen quite a few cases in my own family. At the same time, it also varies as well.
I am a biological child to my parents and am always grateful to them for all that they have done for me. Therefore, it is not to say that all biological kids are ungrateful because many of them aren’t and really love their parents too, whether biological or not.
Pregnancy at 47? Really selfish… the risk to not only the mother but the child is large. Birth defect and learning/intelligence defect risk will be high, as will the chance for autism (which risk has recently been linked to increase with the age of the father).
I wish them well if they decide to go through with it… but wow… talk about throwing the dice.
Well to be fair, how do we know for sure Andy is forcing her to get pregnant? If she truly did not want to, there is honestly nothing that he can do to make her get pregnant. Unless she seriously has no backbone and does everything that Andy tells her to. Also how would we know that she herself does not want to get pregnant???
well to be fair,if andy is fair to his wife he should give her a baby when she was 26 and not at the age of 46 i think.
You are so bias against Andy so you can say or think what you like. Of course they are only your opinions…
HTS – I’m not suggesting he’s forcing her. I’m suggesting BOTH of them are selfish if they decide to go forward.
Thanks for clarifying that TVBFanatic. What if they get lucky and get a healthy baby? My mom’s friend had her last child when she was in her 50s and my mom had my youngest brother in her 40s and he is fine. Therefore, it really varies…
They’re selfish to their own kid. Not selfish to anyone else. I mean, as a parent and to the many other parents out there, we all would be considered selfish then since we chose to have our own kid and not adopt. Of course there is always the ‘but this but that but here but there’ Yeah I don’t like but(s).
Just to clarify… I’m not talking about Selfish towards adoption… I mean it is selfish to try to have your own child at that age towards the unborn child. They are more concerned with THEIR wants and needs rather than the health of the unborn baby.
I wasn’t referring to you. Lol.
And yes exactly they are selfish to their own child..if they decide to go ahead.
Now I know why bosco Raymond and Ron has the most articles cos they have heaps of comments on their articles and it might be what jaynestar likes
You don’t even need a full article on those names. Someone mentions them randomly in a random comment in a random article, you will see a flood of comments that has nothing to do with the original article. Lol.
Very true and I was wondering the same thing.
Having a baby is a blessing from heaven. Andy and hisfamily appear to be kind people. Wish them happiness.
Good luck and wish them happiness in life .
To have a baby at the age of 47? Hmmmm…I think it is already an improvement, folks. If we were in the past, the daughter was already killed and buried on land in order to get a son.
Perhaps, Andy Lau wants to have grandchildren instead children?
Very wonderful point by @Panzer and @HeTieShou. Thank you Panzer for your encouraging words. Reading such comments confirms I am doing the right thing, as this is a huge, life changing decision for my entire family. I do agree and thumbs up what you said. Very, very true words. There are indeed a lot of wonderful relationships between adoptive parents and their children, as these children realise they were given a chance of a happy, loving secured home by caring giving parents. a lot of the children do give back and are filial. You do meet the ones who can be indifferent though, lol.
HeTieShou, I can also see the logic in what you are saying. There are also a lot of children who have biological parents , and have a wonderful relationship with their parents Seems you were raised right by your parents. How blessed you are.
@Trini,
Thanks and kudos to you for adopting more kids and giving them another chance at a great life. Not everyone is able to open up their arms to a child that is not theirs and treat them like their own. I really admire people like that. I truly hope that you can treat your biological and adopted kids equally and love them all as equally as you can.
Thanks and I was lucky to have good parents even though they are really traditional. But they taught and molded me into a better person. I bet others that were in my position could have easily become a spoiled and selfish person, but my parents taught me otherwise. I really different from many of the other daughters that I know. I know how to give and take care of others instead of the others that just sit back and expect to take and have others take care of them.
They could of done this long time ago. 47 to have another child. That’s crazy.
Medicine or herbs will not help. I don’t get why Chinese ppl think Chinese medicine will work. It sure don’t work on my brother gf. Having a child is a blessing from God.
Wishing them the best of luck.. not getting any younger.. their other option is to find a surrogate Mom..
Chinese medicine help heal the body. A friend who went through 2 failed IVF cycle but after 6 months of acupuncture, she was able to conceive naturally. So why not give it a try?
Andy is a bit strange . I think that little toddler should not bein the newspapers or on TV without Andy’s permission. Although the paps take photos of Carol, they have never harassed herverbally. They have never approached her over the years to question her, not once, and they had many opportunities. Andy is entitled to his privacy. He owns his privacy, no one else does. He may be a celebrity but he still has a right to a private life. What gets me about him is the over obsessesive way he goes about to be overbearing in his protective way. Has anyone noticed that his wife always looks sad in public. Like a lost soul in a gilded cage. Has anyone noticed she has to walk behind Andy by at least eight inches or more when they are in public together. Has anybody noticedshe only wears the mask when she is with him, and her head is always cast down to the ground. Andy never said her name in public, he never said my wife. He addresses her as ‘that person’ or. ‘That person at home’. Andy was never going to tell his fans he was married. He got exposed and he reluctantly admitted he was married. He was not happy to admitit though. He moves from house to house when it is discovered where he lives, he spends tens of millions od HK dollars a year to move. He does not like anyone, asking him how his family isdoing, not even a plain safe simplequestion like that cannot be asked. A co star recently asked how is his family and Andy made the poor person feel like dirt. Now that sounds like a man with mental issues. His house must be very difficult to live in. I could be wrong, but I do wonder for Carol and Hanna. It is a well known fact he is a control freak. He also suffers from attention seeking disorder.when HK or Chinese idols gather together, even at a funeral Andy has to outdo, outtalk, outaction andupstage everone else. He has to be centre stage and controller of the event. Yes he has some strange fans, but his crazy privacy antics are so over the top.
carol and the daughter will never live a normal life just because they’re andy’s family
Honestly, none of us know for sure how he is or how his family is living. I have a feeling it is not as bad as we think or else, I think Carol would have left him years ago. It’s not like Carol is poor or her family is poor. Heard that her family is wealthy too. There is only so much a person can take and after so many years if it was truly that bad, I bet she would have left. Even Amy Chan who really loved her husband and was married to him for 28 years recently admitted to divorcing him. I think Amy had a harder life than Carol does since her husband was a jerk. Even though Andy is not the perfect husband in every way, I have a good feeling he was nothing even half as bad as Amy Chan’s ex husband was.
About the house moving issue, well which celeb wants people to know where they live? I have heard many other celebs who move right away after their home was discovered so it is not only Andy. Which co star was this? I do not Andy would do that. He happily shares his family stuff with his friends or people he knows personally from what I know. But of course when it comes to people he does not know or the press, then you can understand that since many celebs want privacy at least to some extent. Everyone knows that he is married so does he need to announce it directly to the world? It is his choice and it’s not like he promised in advance that he would tell everyone when he gets married. If he did, then that would be really bad but from what I know, he never did… Many other celebs never say that they are married as well until they are caught red handed, so it is not only Andy.
About him not showing his daughter, I personally do not see what the big deal is but it is his choice. Stefanie Sun never showed a photo of her son or anything about him. We do not even know her son’s name. Children are often blurred out in photos to protect so I can understand that to some extent.
I know Andy has his bad points, but he has his good points just like anyone…
some women are self tortuorus and afraid to stand for themselves and let men dictate their lives. so sad. glad amy found her courage and left her useless scumbag husband after 28 years! although she wasted all her youth for a horrible marriage and tortured herself at last she gains her freedom. carol’s love to andy is not what normal strong women will do, to hid yourself in mask all the time and hidden for two decades before getting a status and still need to hide your face from public and can’t freely open as a family in public. sad life
With Amy, it was definitely not because of fear, but it was because she loved him so much. However, after awhile she had enough. If you follow e news, Carol is not the only one and being the wife/girlfriend of any big star is really really hard. It takes someone unique and tolerant as well as emotionally strong to be able to do that. What if she is satisfied with life like that? She does not need to work to support herself, probably gets everything she wants, etc… Maybe they are only like that in HK but she has more freedom in her home country Malaysia which may be one of the reasons why Andy wants his wife and daughter to come back and live there instead of in HK. We are just strangers and can only guess and speculate so who knows???
is that satisfying as a woman? to just live a lonely life at home receiving allowance from husband but unable to go out openly with your husband as a complete family like other families? how stressful it sounds to keep in hiding forever
Each women is different and believe it or not, some women are fine with that as long as they get everything provided for them and all.. Also, since she is from Malaysia, I bet she lives a more free life there and may only have to do that when she is in HK. Who knows?? Like I have said, NONE Of us truly know what is going on so we should not make it seem like Andy does not love his wife and only wants to torture her or whatever. One thing for sure that I admire about him is that he seems to faithful to her and only loves her.
I also heard that Carol used to love to go to the movies, go dancing and hang outwith new. People she met. I heard she loves food and used to loved to go out to eat. I heard over the years of throwing herself at Andy, he molded her into what he wanted her to be, and she lost the true essence of herself , her identity, her freedom in the process. I heard these things, but it is easy to see that there is something strange in the Lau household.
never like andy as an artiste or a person and he’s overrated. don’t think he can act or sing well. and now really dislike how he handled his marriage and treat his family like prisoners. that poor little girl will never have a normal childhood
IF Andy is overrated, then most of the celebs of today are as well. When you are the child of any celeb or anyone famous, do you expect to have a normal childhood??? I would not say he treats his family like prisoners, he is just protective of them but I do admit that he does over do it and should be more relaxed. He is not like that to his parents or siblings and is a good son and brother. I would not say that he is the best husband or anything, but I can feel that he really loves his wife and just wants to protect her.
some others are overrated too but andy leads the pack.
jacky cheung is also a world famous star, but his family is living humbly and normal. no need to his wife to be in mask everywhere and for his family to be hidden in self made palacez
I think Myolie would leads the pack of overrated celebs… If it makes a difference, Jacky’s wife used to be a celeb herself so she is more used to facing the limelight versus Carol who is not and never was in the circle.
she has nothing overrated to match the overratedness of andy lau and raymond lam who keep gracing the news with overprotective husband and overly attached clingy boyfriend. each to their own 😛
really sad that carol choose to live such an imprisoned closed life rather than embracing the challenge and be able to embrace her husband on public.
andy now old news in hk. now the hot topic is joey wang’s face wonder why jaynestars isn’t following the current hottest issue?
also noticed that jaynestars left out dada chan’s hot retirement issue as well
Yes I agreed with kolo comments Andy Lau is a control freak why b’cos my brother in law is one of them he born on the same date, same month and most scary is same year as good looking as Andy L but these ppl are very proctective and very nice to others if you don’t follow what they said they will naggat you none stop is quite annoying ppl.
Sorry is nagging ppl.
Sorry but just because someone is born on the same date as someone else does not automatically make them identical when it comes to personalities or whatever. Identical twins/twins are born on the same day and all but just different time but are soooo different when it comes to personality and other factors. None of us know Andy personally so should not compare him to anyone we know. What we hear is only what we hear…
Just as Andy’s relationship was an open secret. Everone knows he is a control freak. There are no ands ifs or buts about that.
Okay. I am going to add my half cent. Andy said it felt like a weight lifted off of his shoulder when h admitted he as married and his marriage is no longer hidden. Yet when Mr. Lau and hi wife are in public, he looks angry as hell. He glares like an angry lion about to fight with a hyena, an Carol looks nervous, scared and trapped. For a man who is glad everything is out I the open, and who loves his wife, that is not the facial expression you should be getting.
I too support the fact that Hanna is off limits to the media. Why is Carol always looking ad. She walks behind her husband with her head held down, looking scared. She always wears the mask when she is in his company, not any other time. The public and media know who she is, yet when she is with Andy, she wears the mask. That is rather strange. I guess she says to Andy “I will wear the mask when I am with you in public”, lol. Maybe her choice. If it is, there must be a very daunting, insecure reason to make such a decision. Maybe it is his choice. If it is, it is a control tactic. No wonder people here are convinced that Carol is being controlled by her husband who is chronic control freak.
t cannot take away from he family safety to just say “my wife and daughter are doing well” when asked by others. He can then refuse to answer further questions. e is the only celeb who gets angry when asked that. He was fit to be tie when Carina Lau wanted to say a few words of thanks to Carol. He was so freaking angry. That I the action of a sick man. It s not like Carina was asking that Carol be brought to the concert and come on stage. So every time it is discovered where he lives, he will pack up and move?. What happens f he is discovered six to eight times in a year. He will move 6 to 8 times?. That is either the reaction of a man who is such a chronic control freak that it irks him that outsiders find out about his whereabouts, and he has t move to regain total control, or that is the action of a very paranoid ma. That is why many here believe Carol and Hanna life the lives of prisoners.
I am not immune to the fact that Andy has a lot o crazy fans out there, we all get that. He is not the only one with crazy fans. He is the only one who angrily threatened the netizens and the media with lawyers and legal actions for even suggesting he was married, and he WAS. Andy knows he can do whatever he wants because he has millions of sheeple under his control. It is good that there are a few at Jaynestars who see him for the no talent hypocrite he is. It is often expressed here that fans or netizens or the haters don’t know anything about Andy. What if it was someone who finally had enough of his angry threats and blatant lies and they tipped off the press about his marriage?. here are netizens who know more about Andy than the readers here think.
I can go on and on but I won’t Like I said, my half cent, lol.
I completely agree with everyone here. He is crazy. And the woman that married I’m is even crazier than him. Thank god I was never his fan. No offence. I just don’t like the act sometimes.
