Is Mrs Lang Lang pregnant? That question has been setting Chinese social media ablaze this week, with speculations that the international pianist’s wife, Gina Alice Redlinger, may have a bun in the oven.

Rumours started to circulate when, on April 14, the German-Korean pianist posted on Weibo, China’s equivalent of Twitter, a video promoting a milk powder brand.

Seated elegantly at a grand piano in her lavishly furnished home, she wore a body hugging pink dress that revealed a slightly bulging belly.

A couple of days later the Sina entertainment channel posted pictures of her wearing a flowing dress in a hotel for a photo shoot with her tuxedo-clad husband. The headline of the Sina post read “Something is happening? Lang Lang’s wife wears a loose-fitting long dress to cover her small belly.”

The fact that Redlinger often wears clothes in public that show off her svelte figure made the latest change of style noticeable; the 26-year-old told the local media before that her waist measurement was 56cm (23 inches).

The Post contacted Creative Artists Agency China, who started representing the pianist last year, to confirm the rumoured pregnancy, but the agency had not responded at the time of publication.
