Taiwanese actress Joe Chen rumored pregnant after announcing wedding with 9-year-younger Malaysian tycoon husband

According to Chinapress, on Sept. 4, Joe Chen shared an Instagram photo featuring her in a white gown. Her slightly bulging belly led to speculation that she might be expecting.

The caption accompanying the photo included a poem: "The young lady. Wishes to speak but hesitates, wishes to speak but hesitates, instead she remarks: 'What a refreshing autumn it is.'"

Netizens praised Joe Chen’s appearance, with comments such as: "This is truly a goddess-like photo," "An ethereal beauty," "How can she be this beautiful?" and "Absolutely stunning."

However, some observed that while her limbs remained slim, her belly appeared slightly rounded, and her overall demeanor exuded a gentle, motherly aura. This has led many to wonder about the possibility of pregnancy. The actress has remained silent on the speculation.

Joe Chen and Alan Chen officially registered their marriage on March 31, 2022, after dating for two and a half years, as reported by Apple Daily. However, despite their marriage, Joe has reportedly faced criticism from her in-laws for not having children yet, according to SCMP.

Joe Chen and Alan Chen initially crossed paths in 2019 on the Chinese dating show "Meeting Mr. Right 2."

Revered as the "Queen of Idol Dramas," Joe Chen, 45, has left an indelible mark with her roles in acclaimed series such as "The Prince Who Turns into a Frog," "Fated to Love You," and "The Queen of SOP".
