Kelly Chen refuses to show her big belly pregnant woman look

To protect Kelly Chan's "beautiful girl" icon, starting next month, she will be refusing to take photos of her growing belly. Yesterday she was in Central to go see her doctor, wearing a cap, loose shirt with her hair down, she used her big handbag to cover up her tummy. Kelly even "played" hide and seek with the Media for half and hour to avoid being photographed. But when she bumped into the cameras, she was still generous and said that she plans to announce it to the world once she gives birth to her baby.

Kelly is currently five months pregnant and has just finished attending public events and completed her skincare ads, she is officially taking her maternity leave. Kelly who has placed beauty as her priority, plans to refuse all pictures taken of her of her belly look, which could ruin her many years known image of being a beautiful woman.

That day when Kelly went to see her doctor, she discovered that there were reporters following her. She immediately took her big handbag to cover her belly and also had one eye opened as she walked. When she bumped into the Media, she said: "Don't take pictures of me la." Even if Reporters shouted Kelly's picture is really pretty, she would only reject with a smile: "How can a pregnant woman be pretty!" Soon, her manager accompanied her to leave the location.

It has been said that during the time Kelly had been pregnant she had been keeping it low key to avoid pictures being taken. She completely rejects having the "fat girl gone ugly" look, therefore she does not want to expose herself. Anything that is related to her, only her doctor and husband Alex Lau knows. There is absolutely no information leaked to a third party. Kelly also requested the hospital to keep everything secret, but she plans to announce everything to the public once her baby is born, she will let the Media know first thing once she becomes a Mother. Kelly plans to have her baby naturally and will be breastfeeding her newborn. Also, Alex has brought a new video camera to capture all the good memories of Kelly entering the labor room, he wants to take down the images of his baby born.

"How can a pregnant woman be pretty!"

ummmmmmmmmmm i think pregnant woman are the most beautiful.. cuz they have a natural glow to them.. i dont really like kelly... she seems really snobby and like a spoiled child.

It sad that she's so caught up in the image thing. How can she say "How can a pregnant woman be pretty!" (Hopefully she was misquoted, but if that was really what she said then she true is really shallow). I've seen many pregnant woman who are very pretty and glowing.

that is sooo sad..they say that being pregnant is the most beautiful look a woman can have....this kelly chen is one egocentric woman...she's so vain...i'm too disappointed..in any case I don't know her anyway...no offense to her fans..

ek that's what i thought as well,
is she ashamed to be pregnant or something?
as everyone has said, prenant woman are the prettiest and has this glow around them
why, because they're so proud,amazed and happy that they're carrying a life in them,
why wud they wanna hide what they're proud of, instead they want to show it off,,
man good luck to her child, hope she's a better mother than she sounds right now

somethings definitely wrong with her lol

well, if she doesn't want to have pictures taken of her belly, that's her decision and people have to respect it? lol

I agree with a lot of the posters above. She has such a shallow and unhealthy perception on image. If I was pregnant, I'd be offended by her comments. A lot of pregnant woman carry their pregnancy really well and gracefully. So far, Kelly has looked amazing during her pregnancy, but these comments were so ignorant.

Pregnant women are beautiful, theres life growing inside of you and you have that glow. Its a shame she cant appreciate and enjoy her pregnancy. No one expects you to looks skinny during your pregnancy, people do know iyou're pregnant and not just fat.

To be honest, I dont think shes that beautiful in the first place anyway. I hope she doesnt pass on her body image issues to her child.

didn't even know she was pregnant. I too think it is very ignorant to think pregnant women cannot look beautiful. In fact, as silly as it sounds I am convinced there is this "glow" about pregnant women that make them look even better pregnant than when they are not.

I am kind of offended by her. She is like saying all the pregnant woman in the world is ugly, which is not true. Also i feel like she is totally caught up on the whole skinny girl image which is not the only beauty in this planet. I hope during her pregnancy she can learn that she is wrong

She still looks very good now! Wonder how she keep her natural beauty during her pregnancy! Wow, she is already 5 month pregnant... That's really fast... 5 month left before she will give birth! Really cool!

What a shallow shallow person
Why get pregnant at all then
Should've used protection, Kelly

ya people should respect it... but this jus shows what kinda person she is. many girls look up to her... so if her fans are fat and ugly they will feel really insecure...look at anita yuen, she was pregnant and even acted in a movie with andy lau and had her pregnant look photographed by paparazzi.. and some were non flattering, but i mean shes proud to be a mommy and i think celebs should bring a image that "were just regular normal people...we have bad looking days too and were not perfect".......kelly disappoints me.

but then again... hk paprazzi are f**#ed... they are so mean at times...and are really @$$es

What do you expect? She graduated from Parsons' as a fashion designer. Don't you know those people only see skinniness? The word 'fat' does not exist, or should be denied existence from their memory.

if its true, its kind of insulting. . . u should be proud when u are pregnant. .

ok how many months pregnant is kelly anyways, because i read in another article that she's 8 months now i read this article and sys she's 5 months?

Kelly's comment is very insulting. So just because a pregnant woman has put on some weight for a beautiful thing to happen, she's fat and ugly and hideous? Why bother getting pregnant if she's so concerned with her image? Kelly Chen is not that pretty anyway... just tall and thin, that's all. I don't even like her voice/songs.

Yup, I don't really like her too...She's too stuck up and very fake. I don't even think she's pretty at all.
