Following a decade of marriage to Jay Chou and raising two daughters and a son, Kun Ling made a public appearance at a brand event on September 23 in a figure-hugging formal dress. She firmly denied rumors of expecting a fourth child, stating with a smile, “Every now and then, people seem to think I’m pregnant, but it’s really not true!” This marked the first time in their 10-year marriage that Kun Ling revealed all three of their children were born via Caesarean section, emphasizing, “Having three kids is good, and it’s important to take care of my body as well.”
At 32 years old, Kun Ling and Jay Chou have a 9-year-old daughter named Hathaway, a 7-year-old son named Romeo, and a 3-year-old daughter named Jacinda. Recently, speculations arose about her pregnancy due to her loose-fitting attire, to which she candidly responded at the event, “What do you think?” before adding, “It seems like every time it’s about time, and people think I’m pregnant, but currently I’m not.” She clarified that she simply chooses comfortable clothing and is not trying to conceal a baby bump, dispelling external conjecture.
Regarding any plans for a fourth child, Kun Ling openly stated, “Let nature take its course, but I feel having three kids is good, and I should take care of my body, so I’ll try my best not to have a fourth child.”
Kun Ling gave birth to her eldest daughter at 22, underwent another C-section to welcome a son at 24, and later had a daughter at 29, all delivered via Caesarean section. Her shift from her earlier aspiration of having “five children” to now preferring to avoid a fourth child has sparked discussions, with many netizens supporting her prioritization of health.
Medical experts note that undergoing more than three C-sections poses high risks during pregnancies, potentially leading to complications such as uterine adhesions and ruptures, and significantly taxing a woman’s body. Kun Ling admitted that with her second pregnancy, she already felt her physical stamina declining, and her recovery was slower after the third child, as childbirth had weakened her immune system and overall strength compared to before.
Kun Ling’s candid revelations have resonated with mothers, with many expressing solidarity, realizing that even a celebrity like her might feel exhausted and hesitant just like them.
Now, Jay Chou and Kun Ling have reached a consensus to “let nature take its course,” with Jay Chou respecting his wife’s wishes. The family of five is harmonious and content, reveling in happiness together.
