Hong Kong star couple Cecilia Cheung and Nicholas Tse will become parents this summer.

Patrick Tse Yin, father of Nicholas Tse, told the media Saturday that his daughter-in-law conceived three months ago and the due date is in July.

The Hong Kong Film Awards' best actress reportedly has given up partying and smoking and put her upcoming baby on high priority.

Both families are looking forward to the baby's arrival, as this year is the Year of the Golden Pig, according to Chinese lunar calendar, an extremely auspicious time for giving birth.

There had been non-stop rumors suggesting Cecilia Cheung was pregnant ever since the couple secretly tied the knot in September.

They previously denied the rumors.
