Jelly Lin Yun has recently slammed speculations of a secret pregnancy that sparked following a recent photo shared by a maternity nurse.

On 23 April, amid rumours of her being pregnant or having given birth to a secret child, “The Mermaid” star took to Weibo to deny this, writing, “I will respond here for the first and last time: It is all a rumour! I firmly resist spreading obscene rumours about women!”

“I have already taken legal action,” she added.

Such rumours sparked recently, after a social media account called “MsChunglife” that claimed to be a maternity nanny for celebrities shared several photos of her with these artistes including Lin.

The nanny had since clarified that the photo was taken at a friend’s house and told netizens not to speculate.

Soon, the president of Beijing Fonghong Pictures Zhang Xiaobo also refuted the rumour, saying that the photo was taken when Lin Yun came to his home two years ago, and Ms Chung was also there at the time.

Actors Jelly Lin Yun and Shen Teng have recently dismissed rumours which allege that they are now dating each other.

Rumours of romance between the two sparked recently, after a netizen posted on Weibo saying that the two have secretly developed feelings for each other while filming the variety show, “Ma Hua te Kaixin”.

The netizen alleged that Shen, who is 16 years Lin’s senior, even tried to help Lin’s career by recommending her to TV and movie producers.

In response to the rumours, Lin’s agency said that the whole thing was fabricated.

“The Internet is not a place outside the law. Do not make or spread rumours. Regarding the malicious rumors, insults and defamation made by some netizens against Ms. Lin Yun, we will continue to collect evidence and will use legal means to protect Ms. Lin Yun’s rights and interests in accordance with the law!” the company stated.

Meanwhile, Shen responded via his rep, “Fake. I wish you all a good start and a Happy New Year.”

Rumour has it that Jelly Lin Yun is now no longer under Stephen Chow’s company.

As reported on Sohu, the 26-year-old actress reportedly has parted ways with the comedy auteur after her eight-year contract expired.

Sources claimed that Jelly will now be developing independently.

The actress, who maintains a good relationship with Stephen throughout the years, made her debut through the filmmaker’s 2016 film, “The Mermaid”, besting thousands of aspiring Sing Girls who auditioned for the lead role.

At the time, when asked why he chose Jelly, who had a resemblance to Taiwanese actress Shu Qi, Stephen said that Jelly was a blank slate, which enabled him to shape her into what the media called “the female Stephen Chow”.
