Constance Wu has been a mother for months.
The “Fresh Off the Boat” star welcomed a girl with boyfriend Ryan Kattner over the summer, her manager, Larry Taube, confirmed to The Times on Tuesday. But the news did not surface until this week.
The baby is the first child of Wu and Kattner, a musician and screenwriter who serves for Honus Honus and leads the indie rock band Man Man.
The “Crazy Rich Asians” and “Hustlers” actress probably had an easier time hiding her pregnancy from watchful eyes who were ordered to stay home during the COVID-19 pandemic, which disrupted normal Hollywood business, not to mention the world.
Still, unlike his friend Mindy Kaling, Wu also kept a low profile on social media. His last Instagram post was promotional in May. She also labeled her Twitter account “extinct” in 2019, not long after it sparked controversy and withdrew from public platforms after her “insensitive” tweets about her ABC comedy “Fresh Off the Boat” being renewed for a sixth season .
That season ended up being the end of the series and, while doing promotional rounds in February, Wu praised the innovative nature of the sitcom and the impact it had on it.
“It’s really the most transformative thing that ever happened to me,” she said on “The Tonight Show” at that time, adding that she cried when they filmed the final scene.
His next film, “I Was a Simple Man”, is scheduled to debut at the hybrid virtual Sundance Film Festival next month.
AND! The news reported the baby’s news on Monday.
