Did Ella Chen just reveal new details about her rumoured pregnancy B1.pngImages: Facebook

Breaking! Ella Chen is pregnant with twins – that is, if you consider social media posts to be today’s quick-and-dirty substitutes for the physical press conferences of yore.

Here’s what went down. Ella’s eagle-eyed fans have pounced on a recent Facebook photo post of a double-yolked egg in a hotpot, which the chanteuse captioned thusly: “Fate! Everything is fate! A pair of twins is waiting for me at this time next year, in the Year of the Monkey.”

Some cultural context may be of use here: The Chinese believe that chancing upon a double-yolk egg is a sign of twins to come, at least for women hoping to conceive.

To be sure, it’s hard to parse the exact tone of the post – was the S.H.E prankster being her usual sassy self? – but pop culture pundits point to the many public declarations of her desire to become a Mum as proof that Ella wasn’t merely mucking around with her latest Facebook update.  

Then again, this may turn out to be a red herring (or yolk, for that matter.) So no, no gender or name just yet, but we’ll be watching. Pregnancy Patrol, at the ready!
