After Olivia Wang Ziwen’s stunning revelation a few days ago that she was a single mom to her 7 year old son, it’s currently Janice Wu Qian’s turn be under the microscope. On March 15, paparazzi photos of Janice Wu with her mum and a toddler once again raised pregnancy rumours. Many are saying that if the child is indeed hers, the father is most likely to be Zhang Yujian.
As talents under Huace Film and TV, both Janice Wu and Zhang Yujian have worked together in projects like An Oriental Odyssey and later as the romantic leads in 2019’s Le Coup de Foudre 我只喜欢你. And given their incredible chemistry in the show, fans have indeed been shipping a relationship between them.

Secret Marriage and Pregnancy?
Janice Wu and Zhang Yujian have never actually gone so far as to admit anything, but multiple fan sightings and paparazzi shots of them acting all loved up in the past seem to say otherwise. In fact, there’s even speculation that the couple may have been secretly married before. In 2019, the rumour mill also ran rife with speculation that Janice was perhaps pregnant after she was spotted at the hospital with her mum for a maternity checkup. If you do the math, her baby should be close to two years old now …. just the right age as the toddler photographed with her recently.
To further add fuel to the fire, rumour has it that the child is supposedly named Zhang Yanyi 张言一. This is rather telling, as Netizens have pointed out that aside from bearing Zhang as her last name, Yanyi appears to be a combination of both Yujian’s Yan Mo (言默)and Janice’s Qiao Yi (乔一) in Le Coup de Foudre. Coincidence? Or maybe not.

Be a Man
As of press date, neither parties have offered any statements to address the issue. They’ll definitely have to do so now that Zhang Yujian’s social media is currently exploding with comments by Netizens telling him to man up and recognise his child. Allegedly, Janice wanted to make news of her pregnancy public but was vetoed by Zhang Yujian for fear that it could negatively affect his career. For now however, we’ll just have to wait a little bit longer to see what happens next.
UPDATE: Zhang Yujian has taken to Weibo with a response on the same night, “Fell in love and got married like normal, have a lovely child together, the papers are complete. I don’t care if you scold me because I don’t know you. I have no obligation to tell you my private matters. Just wanted to give the child a normal space to grow. You really shouldn’t take pictures of my daughter and expose my daughter’s name. This time, her parents have failed in their duty to protect her. Her mom is very sad. Don’t do this again.”

This is their private life. They don’t owe anyone any explanation. It’s none of our biz if they indeed have a kid together or are married. So what if they have a kid or is married. Let them have their own privacy. They are just actors doing their acting job to give us entertainment. Before we ask any stars to clarify themselves as if they owe us a service or a living, netizens should ask themselves if the table it turned around, how would they like it if their lives are being scrutinised and demand for justification etc to the entire world? We can admire these actors for their craft but we don’t own them. Let them live their life out of spotlight for goodness sake! Let them decide when and what they are willing to share with the world.

It’s sad that their private lives got exposed this way. It’s cute to hear that they are together for real because I really liked them in le coup.

Great news! As a fan of both of them, I’m ecstatic at the confirmation that they are together. That being said, they are entitled to their privacy and owe the public no explanation of their personal life. They have the right and obligation to protect their child from toxic fans and netizens.

They just didn’t want to share what’s in their private life with the whole world. They didn’t even try to keep it a secret. They just didn’t acknowledge the public speculations. If they really want to keep it a secret, they would not even bring the kid out in public. They just want their private life remains private. If the public sees them, so be it. They didn’t even run for cover etc. They just want public to respect their private space. Not to hound them n secretly snap pic of their kid and reveal kid’s name to the whole world to force them to reveal their private life. What’s with the netizens onslaught condemning him and the paparazzi out for blood? This is cyber bullying.
There are so many artists in the past and present who are married or attached but claim to be single to the press too. Sometimes artistes will not reveal their status because fans and paparazzi can go really crazy to stalk them n snap pics or threaten their partner. And most of the time, artists have to keep their status as single due to agency demand.
Let’s just wish them a blissful marriage and always be happy together.

I love it

Press caught they on a date after their drama end, but both side refuse to said anything. Now, they went all they way to stalk his wife and his daughter on outing to force them to confess. Invasion of privacy at its finest by the bitter paparazzi.

Privacy and secrecy are two different thing. You can wish for a PRIVATE life without making it a SECRET life. It’s strange such a good thing being kept secret. It’s not like their fans would be opposed to them getting married and having a child together. Many fans ship them together.

Agreed. There is absolutely no obligation to keep people informed about their private lives. Acting is just their job. And leave the kid alone. Have some respect. I really like Zhang Yujian since NIF. Wishing the little family all the best.

Are all these exposed mums used to cover up Zheng Shuang disgusing scandal? To use these news to draw public attention away from her…Not surprising..But regardless Janice and Olivia love their kids and did not abandon them for their career..
WTH
You think she has any money left to hire people doing that? Why would she need to care, her career is dead and it can’t be any more dead than dead.
I’m sure this couple is just being smart. They rather come clean than being found out one day and they never know if people will expose them badly or nicely, so it’s better that they reveal it nicely. There are lots of couple now that are saying nothing but they are obviously really afraid, they’re starting to drop hints of their problems already.
I have no problem with this couple. I only dislike the couples that want to go on top trending and purposely using their family to gain that, now they are afraid. This couple had no choice so they are revealing this now to avoid future trouble.

Goodness !! What’s all this about “coming clean” ? Makes it sound as if they have committed some big crimes. Whether people were or are married, have partners, whether male or female, have children, whether legitimate or not, is their personal business. As long as they are not morally corrupt in their relationships (like using it for selfish gain), not criminals and not a danger to others.
I can totally understand that celebrities want to keep their private lives and families away from all the paparazzo and their irrational fans. Look at Andy Lau Teck Wah – kept his love life and family under wraps for more than 25 years – quite a successful feat. The celebrities shouldn’t feel apologetic about this.

We just have to respect their privacy especially that of their child.

I think its personally nobodies business. They our normal humans and have normal lives just like the rest of us, They should be able to have a family outing without people down there throat. All just to make a quick buck, someone has to throw out a photo.

This guy is an a**. All he cared was about his career. He didn’t care about his wife’s career. What a loser. He then wants to get an attitude on his Weibo. Cry me a river. Suck it up. Quit acting like you matter to the world and your career is more important then your wife. If I was her I would of told him to go and shove it. It should not just be up to you if I tell the public I am pregnant or not. She is an idiot for doing as he says.

“Allegedly, Janice wanted to make news of her pregnancy public but was vetoed by Zhang Yujian for fear that it could negatively affect his career.……” It’s just what the media says to gain more attention, nothing like this has been confirmed. And honestly what he said on Weibo was just right, celebs deserve privacy, and the way he said it, might have sounded a bit harsh. However, he doesn’t owe us any apology nor an explanation of his private life , so the statement is just it.
