Wong's agent, Chen Jiaying, confirmed the birth at Beijing's Xiehe hospital on Saturday, the Chinese news Web site Sina.com reported.

"Faye Wong gave birth today. It was by Caesarean section," Hong Kong's Apple Daily newspaper quoted Chen as saying.

"Mother and daughter are healthy. Her whole family is really happy. The daughter weighs 8.8 pounds (4 kilograms)," Chen said.

Wong's newborn is fathered by Chinese actor Li Yapeng, whom she reportedly married in July. The pop star has another daughter from her previous marriage to Chinese rocker Dou Wei.

Wong, a Beijing native who made her name in Hong Kong, started out in mainstream Chinese pop but branched out into more alternative fare.

She was hugely popular in China and Hong Kong in the mid-1990s but has unofficially retired from the entertainment scene in recent years.

A contact number for agent Chen wasn't immediately available.

A woman who answered the phone at Xiehe hospital said she had no information about the birth.
