Christy Chung, 49, And Husband Spotted Praying At A Temple Popular Among Couples Who Want A Son
Could she be hoping to give her three girls a little brother?
It looks like 49-year-old '90s bombshell Christy Chung and her 37-year-old husband, Chinese actor Shawn Zhang (also known as Zhang Lunshuo and previously known as Golden Zhang), are really serious about their plans to have a baby. And they have supposedly enlisted some divine assistance.
On July 6, Shawn shared a photo of himself at a temple with Christy and wrote about needing to “ward off evil spirits”. Netizens had also spotted them at the same location, which was revealed to be on Mount Putuo, China. The temple there is said to be a popular spot for couples who wish to pray for a son, giving rise to speculations that Christy and Shawn want to add a boy to their all-girls brood.
Still recognisable in masks and casual clothing
While Christy and Shawn, who have been married for nearly four years, have no children together, Shawn is known to get along very well with Christy’s three girls from her previous two marriages.
Her eldest daughter, 22-year-old Yasmine, made headlines when she revealed that she had taken Shawn’s surname, and her youngest daughter Cayla, 10, appeared on reality show Where Are We Going, Dad? with her stepfather. Christy is also mum to 11-year-old Jaden, who won first place in a dance competition last year.

Before going down the spiritual route, Christy, who turns an unbelievable 50 in September, was open about going for IVF treatments to have her fourth kid. However, she eventually stopped as the hormone injections caused her to gain weight, and has since switched to using traditional Chinese medicine instead.
It looks like she’s lost the extra pounds, though, as netizens pointed out
According to those who saw them at the temple, Christy and Shawn were very affectionate with each other throughout the visit and were easily recognised by many people despite wearing masks. Although Shawn did not specify if they were indeed praying for a son in his Weibo post, his reply to a netizen’s comment seems to suggest this.
The netizen wrote: “I went to Mount Putuo to pray for a son and was blessed with boy-girl twins on December 16 last year. Passing it on to big sister and brother-in-law." Shawn then replied: “[I] receive [your] good luck.”
The couple that prays together, stays together?
