HONG Kong actor-singer Andy Lau is said to have two children with former Malaysian beauty queen Carol Chu even though he has denied it openly, Chinese newspapers reported.

Quoting a Hong Kong weekly magazine, they said the couple have an 11-year-old daughter and a son who is currently staying in Singapore with Lau's sister.

Lau denied that he had children with Chu and explained on arrival in Hong Kong from China on Tuesday that the children who had been photographed were those of his relatives or friends.

The magazine reported that the son was born at the height of his career and was brought up by Lau's father.

"To prevent the exposure of his son, Lau sent him to Singapore to stay with his sister," it reported.

Lau's daughter is said to have been born in Canada and was being cared for by another sister.

Lau was caught lying about his marriage to Chu and had apologised publicly.
