Happily-married Jesseca Liu plays an unhappily-married woman who yearns to have her own kid in the new Ch 8 drama Babies on Board. But don’t expect to see Jesseca Jr. anytime soon.
It seems serendipitous that by a stroke of fate, or just pure coincidence, Jesseca Liu, who got hitched to Jeremy Chan last July, plays a gynae who resorts to surrogacy to save her marriage in the upcoming Ch 8 drama Babies on Board. It makes it all the more convenient for us to lob the “So are you planning to have kids?” question at the 39-year-old actress.
They say marriage changes people. And in Jesseca’s case, she’s become a lot more forthcoming about her life with Jeremy, especially when you compare it to how reticent she was the last time we spoke to her, which was a fortnight before her wedding. When we grill her on the most romantic thing Jeremy has done for her, she rattles on about how he ensures her coffee never gets cold, restocks her favourite snacks and helps refill all her bathroom toiletries Every. Single. Time. And the sweetest thing she has done for him? “I’d plan the itinerary for our holidays and I won’t tell him the places we’ll be going to, to give him a surprise,” she says. Indeed, their romantic retreats are well documented on both their respective socials. It seems that Jesseca and Jeremy are relishing their couple time. No wonder the actress is in no hurry to have kids.
8 DAYS: In Babies on Board, you play a married woman who chooses to have a kid through a surrogate. If money weren’t an issue, would you ever hire a surrogate in real life?
