#NoJudgement on our part whatsoever, but hey, the streets are talking and the snoopy set wants to know: Was Hannah Quinlivan preggers prior to pouring herself into her bridal frock?
Here’s the thing about putting it all out there on social media. Per Taytay’s musical maxim: Haters gonna hate.
Mere minutes after Jay Chou “Beyonce-ed” his fans by dropping news of his future fatherhood on Facebook, the gossip girls started poking holes in the official timeline.
You see, while PR peeps have – pun alert! – kept mum on how far along Hannah is, online “obstetricians” have pegged her burgeoning belly to be approximating the three-month mark. (It’s also Chinese custom to announce any child-bearing tidings at least three months after conception, so there’s that in the three-month camp’s favour.)
Still with me? Now, if their marriage was registered last November with the wedding world tour kicking off January 17 this year, that can only mean … well, you do the math.
The implications are tantalising, if you’re into this sort of titillating thing: Hannah must have been, as the Taiwanese are wont to say, “carrying a ball” before her big night out as a blushing bride. Cue pearl-clutching by prurient folks everywhere.
Time for crisis control. Shenzhen-based news portal Tencent Entertainment reports that a JVR Music rep for the couple has come out to categorically refute rumours of a shotgun wedding. The rep’s only defence against the allegations? “Jay and Hannah have always been low-key about their relationship, and a pregnancy before marriage would not be possible.” Well, then. Sure.
So did the basketball-mad Mandopop prince score a “slam dunk” before putting a ring on it? We’ll never know for sure, but we’re inclined to take the couple’s word for it.
Besides, we have way serious stuff to obsess over – like picturing Hannah’s pregnancy street-style swag as her baby bump burgeons in the months to come! “Grats, girl, and pay no heed to the haters!
