The Chinese actress and director gave birth to a baby girl at Gleneagles Hospital on April 11, 2010, at the age of 34. She cites the lack of paparazzi as one of the main reasons she chose to pop here.

Vicki, who propelled to fame after starring in the popular My Fair Princess (1998) TV series, stayed at the $4,248-a-night Tanglin suite in Gleneagles, and is thought to have given birth via caesarean section.

She has been married to Chinese property businessman Huang Youlong since 2008. Both are permanent residents in Singapore.
