Zhang Ziyi gives birth to baby girl
It’s the actress’ first child, and the third for Chinese rock singer and composer Wang Feng
Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi, who gained international fame for her role in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, has had a baby girl.
Zhang posted a photo of two hands holding a baby’s hand to her social media account on Monday.
The caption read: “December 27th, 2015, you, me, her ... With the birth of this little life, we have our own family. Everything went safely and smoothly. Infinite gratitude!”
Zhang’s manager confirmed in a text message that the 36-year-old actress had given birth.
It’s Zhang’s first child, and the third for Chinese rock singer and composer Wang Feng, who has two daughters from previous relationships.
Reports said she gave birth in the United States.
Zhang accepted a marriage proposal delivered by drone from Wang in February.
Zhang is one of China’s biggest movie stars and catapulted to stardom in the West with the Oscar-nominated Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. A sequel is due out next year but she will not be in it.
Her other English credits include Rush Hour 2, Memoirs of a Geisha and Horsemen.
She also starred in the 2013 Hong Kong-Chinese acclaimed martial-arts epic The Grandmaster, which led to several best actress trophies across Asia.
Wang became a household name in China after appearing as a judge of the Voice of China singing show in 2013.
