Qi Yuwu returns to Singapore for Joanne Peh’s second pregnancy
Baby Qi is going to become a big sister as the actors are expecting their second child
baby Qi’ a younger sibling, celebrity couple Qi Yuwu and Joanne Peh have put words to action and are now going to be parents for the second time.
Yuwu, who has been based in China for various acting projects during the past two years, just inked a new management contract with Mediacorp's The Celebrity Agency and is now considered a full-fledged artiste. With this new contract, he will be taking on more local projects which will allow him to spend more time with his pregnant wife, too, and Joanne is particularly happy to have his company during her pregnancy.
The expecting actress, who was discovered she was pregnant before filming for Dream Coder began, shared her joy with Toggle in a phone interview and said, “I’m very excited! (…) I’m just over the first trimester and it’s still too early to tell [the gender of the baby].”
Joanne, who hopes for her second child to be a girl, shared that she is having a tougher time with her second pregnancy, unlike her first experience. “I had nausea at night and I didn’t have a very good appetite. I don’t really want to eat but I’d still eat when it’s mealtimes and take in some food.

pregnancy was unplanned for and unexpected and her husband even questioned if the pregnancy kit was “faulty” when she did a test. “Of course he’s very happy, he found it hard to believe too,” she laughed.
When quizzed if the baby was made in Singapore or made in China, Joanne laughingly replied, “What do you think?! He has to be around for it to happen! If you calculated the timing, you’d know the answer.”

Yuwu shares his happiness in an official statement released by TCA
In an official statement shared with his manager, Yuwu said, “Joanne and I are not the only children in our families and we’ve always wanted to have one more child after having our daughter (baby Qi) to give her a companion, but this ultimately depends on how Joanne is coping. It has been a year since her first delivery and her body is recuperating and in good shape, she has also started acting again and [we] didn’t expect for her to be pregnant again. We are really happy and satisfied, [we] don’t mind if it’s a boy or a girl!"
When she was pregnant in 2014, Joanne went on a work hiatus and only resumed work after baby Qi was born. However, she has no plans to stop work this time around, saying, “People usually say that parents are more relaxed with the second pregnancy (chuckles). I hope to continue to work if possible, but I don’t have anything lined up yet after this drama so we’ll wait and see.”
