SINGAPORE: After nine months of anticipation, celebrity couple Joanne Peh and Qi Yuwu on Friday (Aug 7) welcomed the newest addition to their family – a baby girl.
The baby was delivered at noon via natural birth at Mount Elizabeth hospital. Both mother and baby are said to be doing well.
During an interview last week at a press conference for the 1965 movie, Qi shared that he will accompany Peh in the delivery ward and that they have hired a female videographer to film the entire process.
He also said they have booked a confinement nanny through their friends’ recommendation, as they felt "it would be good" to have an experienced person to help since this is their first child.
Currently based in Singapore to film Channel 8’s The Dream Makers 2, the actor said he felt lucky to be able to spend the last trimester of his wife's pregnancy by her side. He will be flying to Melbourne in September to film The Dream Makers 2 and after the drama wraps, he will head to China for another project in December.
It is not known when Peh, who recently renewed her MediaCorp contract, will resume work after giving birth. In one of her most recent interviews, she said she plans to be more selective with work assignments in order to spend more time with her baby.
The actress also said she hopes to have more autonomy over the projects she takes on in future. "With every project, there is an opportunity cost in regard to the time spent with my child. [The project] has got to be something that I feel is worthwhile and that inspires or challenges me,” she said.
The new parents previously said that they have picked an English name for the baby, but have yet to reveal it.
Qi and Peh, who have been friends and colleagues for more than 10 years, started dating in 2013 and tied the knot in a private wedding ceremony held in Sentosa last September. They have collaborated on several dramas, with the latest being 2014’s C.L.I.F. 3 and local film 1965.

Women shun fathers when ovulating, study reveals

A NEW study reveals women instinctively shun their fathers when they are most fertile, even as they seek out the companionship of their mothers.
The reasons, say the researchers, is evolution. Females in other species have also been observed to give a wide birth to male kin during periods of maximum fertility.
“The behaviour has long been explained as a means of avoiding inbreeding and the negative consequences associated with it,” explained lead author Debra Lieberman, a professor at the University of Miami.
“But until we conducted our study, nobody knew whether a similar pattern occurred in women.”
Professor Lieberman and colleagues examined mobile phone records of 48 women in their reproductive years, noting the date and duration of all calls with their fathers and, separately, their mothers over the course of a billing period.
They found that women called their dads less frequently during the days when the were ovulating, and would hang up sooner if the calls came the other way.
Overall, daughters were half as likely to ring up their dads during high fertility days compared to the period of menstruation. What’s more, the conversations that did occur lasted about half as long.
The researchers checked to be sure that the women were not giving their dads the slip in order to meet male suitors.
Nor were they simply trying to evade parental control: even when hormones were working overtime, the women were far more, rather than less, likely to give mum a ring.
Women have hard-wired mechanisms that protect against the risk of less healthy children, which tend to occur when close genetic relatives mate, the researchers concluded.
“It makes sense that women would reduce their interactions with male genetic relatives, who are undesirable mates,” Professor Lieberman said.
At the same time, when women are in their most fertile phase they are attracted to men with “masculine” qualities such as husky voices and competitive personalities, previous research has shown.
The study was published in the peer-reviewed journal Psychological Science.
