UPDATE: In reply to a query from 8days.sg, Joanne has since confirmed that she isn't expecting a third child, and that the initial reaction of netizens was totally unexpected! .

We all know how exciting baby news is. After all, there’s nothing more joyful than knowing that there’s a new addition to the family, right?

So when celeb mama Joanne Peh updated her Instagram earlier today (Nov 11) with a very coy caption, netizens couldn’t help but wonder if the 38-year-old was hinting at something.

The picture showed Joanne with her stylist, make-up artist and hair stylist. So four people in total, right?

However, Joanne’s caption was: “Hello, from the 5 of us”.

So who is the fifth person? Was it the cartoon girl character on Joanne’s phone case, or, as a number of netizens speculated, a hint that she's expecting Baby No. 3?​​​​​​​

Maybe she's expecting another child…? one netizen ventured, while another asked: Baby 3?”.

As of press time, Joanne has not replied to these comments. 8days.sg has also reached out to the actress for a comment.

Joanne, as you probably know, is married to Qi Yuwu, 44. The couple has two kids together — six-year-old daughter Baby Qi and four-year-old son Qi Didi.

The family-of-four recently went on a cruise, where Yuwu flaunted his hot bod. [Ed: Would you still call that a dad bod?]
