Chinese Actress Vicki Zhao gave birth at Singapore

Chinese actress Vicki Zhao has given birth to a baby last Sunday at Singapore's Gleneagles Hospital and is now a blissful mother of a baby girl.

The actress-singer recently made headlines when she was spotted heavily-pregnant by the paparazzi while grocery shopping trip in Singapore last month. News of her pregnancy was first leaked out by the press in November last year. Zhao's subsequent absence in the movie promotions of 14 Blades set tongues wagging and confirmed her pregnancy rumours.

According to a netizen who was at Gleneagles Hospital undergoing a body checkup, Zhao reportedly underwent a caesarean operation on Sunday night at 11pm and gave birth to a healthy baby girl. The 34-year-old was accompanied by her Chinese property tycoon husband, Huang Youlong, all night.

Vicki's tight-lipped manager, Chen Rong, broke the news yesterday and announced, "Everything is well, blissful and happy! Zhao Wei (Vicki's Chinese name) and her family members thank everyone for their blessings."

Chen confirmed that both mother and daughter are safe and healthy.

According to reports, a 20-something Miss Sun, who is believed to be Zhao's friend, was seen leaving her private 'Tanglin Suite', which costs an estimated S$4,300 per night. When members of the press approached Miss Sun, the young woman vehemently refused to comment or confirm on Zhao's presence in the suite and firmly said, "I will not say anything at all."

Both Zhao and her husband, Huang, are believed to be Singapore permanent residents and registered their marriage in 2008.

Zhao will be making a showbiz comeback for a Stephen Chow movie, Hail The Judge, in June.
