She deleted somerhing? I didn't notice. Anyway all her photos were reposted here

Ayu was at perfect shape 21 november. She posted this at the instastory https://twitter.com/Aderianu/status/...749669377?s=19

Goddamn those abs

I think one or two times she deleted grainy pictures or ones that didn't show much anyway. I remember after some photos were posted they just disappeared and were replaced with other pics.

The most recent I can remember is this set:

I saw a Japanese tabloid online that had an article “revealing” her baby’s dad is her junior backup dancer lol.

To be fair, she only posted baggy sweaters + loose dresses for summer onward basically.

^That and you can post old pictures as well :P

Yes. She also skipped a-nation which would have been the end of August.

If 6 months by August, that means 5 months in July when I went to trouble tour. I definitely would have remembered if she looked pregnant, she didn’t at all! It’s crazy!

I follow some female Japanese magazine models and fashion designers on Instagram. lots of them gave birth in recent years. and you know that all of them had a really small belly! so I do believe that ayu could be pregnant last year and no one noticed.

I think on THESE pictures you can clearly see what was going on...

I'm sorry but I wouldn't think she is pregnant seeing these pics. I mean, yeah she looks more covered up with the scarf and everything, but that wouldn't necessarily make me think she is pregnant.

And on another note, isn't the guy in the first pic, carrying the basket, one of her new dancers (sorry don't know his name and I am too lazy to look it up ^^)?

It's difficult to say if it was "totally flat" but to put it this way: she was not showing at all!

Some people speculate that it's Pei, don't remember if it was in this thread or the other one. The picture does have a resemblance to him.

(after having a few days to process this news)

I wonder if the baby is healthy and Ayu didn't suffer any health problems during pregnancy.

Any pregnancy at age 40 is considered a risk pregnancy. Doctors tell expecting mothers to take it easy, avoid vigorous exercise and rest a lot and eat healthy.

Ayu pushed herself hard with touring, barely took a break, and stayed skinny through it all. That takes a huge toll on the body. And considering all the pain she endures with her knee and ear, it must have been extra painful. I remember her writing that the pain had gotten so bad that she would vomit between sets during concerts.

I'm not judging her. I'm just concerned. She has a history of ignoring doctors' advice and pushing herself beyond the limit.

Chinese fans posted translation from 「週刊文春」magazine from 2020.01.16
That's the page of this issue

What I got from google translation
-They were amaized how soon she back on stage after giving birth and ayu said she's not feeling well, but that's the path she chose. Did she said she's in the hospital right now?
-Seems it was question about surrogate mother and ayu said she did all on her own
-Vague answer about father
-Question about is she going to have second or third child, and ayu said she did her best for this age
-There is no more happiness than raising a child

So does that mean that ayu has no further plans for more children?

It seems more details will be revealed on tomorrow’s news about the father. But it looks like you have to purchase it (?)

Nope, but she seems to visit it often.

I believe right now she thinks that don't want to go through such things again. But few years later she can easily change her mind. All depends from the health

same interview in japanese on Yahoo. Looks like it's interview with ayu's mom not with ayu herself. And yes, more will be revealed tomorrow

I can't read anything into if she wants either wants more kids or not. Queen of avoiding questions.
Only thing that is clear is that she did it on her own. Oh and that she is enjoying motherhood very much.

For sure they scream pregnancy. The position of her hands is not typical for holding a scarf (especially for her). Her face and legs are swollen (presumably water retention). And these ugly flat shoes are also not typical for ayu.
