Athena Chu announces pregnancy, to marry Paul Wong end of 2012

A member of the group Beyond, 48 year old Paul Wong and 40 year old 'Sexy Goddess' Athena Chu's love marathon has officially reached their 14th year. A few years ago, the couple expressed they aren't in a hurry to marry or have children, but February of this year, Athena was seen to have a bulging stomach. It was rumored Athena was pregnant after going to see a Chinese doctor. However, at the time Athena denied on Weibo: "Just based on the cotton clothing?" She stressed it was just a misconception.

Until yesterday afternoon, Athena suddenly posted an excerpt of the lyrics from Paul's Child: "Child, I really want to let you know, even if the world collapses, I still love you, you are the most amazing." She also uploaded a black and white nude photo of her and Paul embracing. Its rumored that Athena is 3 months pregnant.

30 minutes later, Paul reposted Athena's Weibo entry and admitted that they will soon be living a '3 person world': "All along, we thought that love is just between us two, but from today on, it will not longer be just us two. I love you." Paul expressingly indicated Athena's pregnancy by just a simple message. Four hours after the couple's Weibo messages, there were already over 10,000 repost and comments (TN: Updated numbers, it's over 27,000 now). The majority of them were Netizens congratulating the couple and sending their blessings.

It was understood Paul denied the pregnancy earlier was all because he loves Athena. He didn't want the good news to turn into troubling news nor did he want the paparazzi's attention and affect Athena's pregnancy. A few days ago, he expressed on Weibo: "Telling a lie is different from keeping a secret, but sometimes to continue upholding the secret, will be forced to tell a lie." Yesterday when the couple met the press back in HK, Paul reveals that they plan to get married at the end of the year.

Good Friends Congratulates Paul and Athena

Paul has a pretty broad relations with people in the industry, and has many celebrities who are fans of him including Ella Koon, RubberBand's 6 members and William Chan.

Athena's good sister, Ada Choi: "I'm currently so happy that I've gone crazy, congrats to them!"

Francis Ng: "That's good! Very good news. (Any advice?) Most important is to keep the baby well fed, breastfeeding is the time where the baby and mother can interact, so its a must. Also, must trust what the elders say because they have been through it and have the experience."

Kristal Tin: "Congrats to them! I saw their photo on Weibo, so beautiful. It's so loving and touching, Paul and Athena are my idols, especially Paul. I truly believe they'll be very happy together."

Ella Koon: "So happy, I heard from a friend they announced the pregnancy. I went on Weibo immediately to look, and saw their beautiful photo. I think their baby will definitely inherit their performing art talent. If the baby's a boy, then he'll have music talent and if a girl, then she'll be super beautiful."

William Chan: "Of course I'm going to congratulate my 'brother'. I'm extremely happy for him. In my eyes, he's so man, now he has a baby and a family, even more man, very hot."

Grasshopper's Calvin Choy expressed he knows Paul very well and plans to give the couple custom made baby products.
