Insider's Peek At Jamie QQ Wu's Growth And Glow Up
If there was any doubt to whether pregnancy glow is real, Jamie QQ Wu puts it to rest. On the day we meet, she looks serene, radiant even—belying the fact that she just wrapped a 13-hour shoot the day before (the results of which can be seen here) and that in four days, will be giving birth to her second child, a daughter named Eden. But right now, we are sitting in the three-storey Modernist bungalow in Bukit Timah that Wu, with her husband, Anthony Couse, and their two-year-old son, Archie, calls home. From the outside, it is a hulk of dark grey concrete offset by lush foliage; inside, it is all warm woods and soft cream furnishings, with light pouring in through expansive floor-to-ceiling windows.

Home is a place that has taken on major significance in Wu’s life—something that the globe-trotting fashion entrepreneur (whose most recent venture is Altava, a virtual fashion platform) did not expect. Part of it was due to the housebound lifestyle brought about by the pandemic, but more importantly, it was parenthood that triggered this paradigm shift. “We moved here three years ago. Before, I was just on the plane every other week—Singapore, Shanghai, London, Paris. We were in an apartment, for convenience. It was very nice, but it never felt like home,” shares Wu, who is in her 30s. “No one was ever there, the fridge was always empty, I never even touched the huge, beautiful pool. Before I had kids, I always associated home life with a boring life—I didn’t even care what plates we ate off. My mother would buy us nice plates and porcelain ware and things like that, but I was like, that’s not me.”
