Actress Ninh Duong Lan Ngoc denies Australia trip for birth

On a reality show aired last Saturday, Ngoc, 34, said she’d be traveling to Australia for a few short-term courses on acting. The announcement sparked discussion on social media speculating that Ngoc will be giving birth there.

The rumor fits a pattern: several other female celebrities have been entangled by similar suspicions over the past few years.

“I will have a baby when I have a husband. I hope this rumor can stop here,” she said on a Facebook post. “This year, I’m determined to focus on my studies. I’ve taken care of my family well enough, it’s time I think for myself.”

The actress had previously aimed to marry at 25 or 28 and start a family before turning 30, but these plans didn’t materialize. Now over 30, she no longer sets specific life goals for herself. “My main focus is on finding happiness. I will announce my marriage when it happens.”

Ngoc gained recognition for her performance in the 2010 film “Canh Dong Bat Tan” (The Floating Lives). Her role in this movie earned her the Best Leading Actress award at the Golden Kite Awards in the year.
