In this article, we have picked our very own local celebrity couples that have stand the test of time, passed the seven-year itch and showed us the power of love. Let’s look back at their happily-ever-after love stories!  

1. Zoe Tay & Philip Chionh

It was the big thing in our local showbiz when the Queen of Caldecott Hill, Zoe Tay married her beau, Philip Chionh in 1995. One of the wedding’s highlights was the wedding couple walking under an honorary arch of saber (a wedding tradition in which sabers or swords are used to salute a newly married couple), a military wedding ceremony that I really love. I guess that’s the perk of having your man serving the nation! Tay, now a mother of 3 boys, once revealed that Chionh won her over through his impressive baking skill. We do hope to see photos of the family baking together!  

2. Andrea De Cruz & Pierre Png

“I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love and honor you all the days of my life.” Png love toward De Cruz is unconditional; he touches many of our heart when he selflessly donated part of his liver to his then-fiancée, De Cruz when she suffered a liver failure. He has shown many of us what love is, and the true meaning of the marriage vows – “in sickness and in health”, even before they got married.

Love is timeless; they have already been married for 12 years and still as loving as before, together with their fur kids (pet dogs).  

3. Evelyn Tan & Darren Lim

We all remember watching the wedding ceremony of Darren Lim and Evelyn Tan on TV in 2004; it was a grand outdoor wedding in Sentosa, with much focus on the beautiful wedding setting as well as Tan’s versatile wedding outfit – when her gown turned into a jumper to suit the wedding theme. Their love for the sea has turned into a lifestyle, the Lim family has been happily living on their yacht at ONE°15 Marina Club for the past years and are ready to embark on a year journey, sailing to Okinawa, Japan on their yacht. Well, Good life ever after.

4. Priscelia Chan and Alan Tern

“Lucky I’m in love with my best friend” They started out as best buddies, and the love only blossom after Alan Tern wrote an email to confess his feeling toward Priscelia Chan. “Lucky” by Jason Mraz fits so perfectly for Chan and Tern’s love story. They got married shortly after getting together. They even designed a necklace together, named “soulmates”, inspired by their union, signifying that they have found each other – the soulmate in their life. Chan wore during the wedding, giving their big day a greater meaning. Everything just gets sweeter after marriage. We often see Chan posting about her happy married life with sweet and touching captions on instagram, bringing the positive vibe to everyone around her. With thanksgiving and the effort of both, we are always seeing the happy and contented Mr. and Mrs. Tern even after 8 years; they are never too shy to spread their love around, way to go!

5. Fann Wong & Christopher Lee

They have been well known as the golden couple date back to 1998 when they portrayed as Yang Guo and Small Dragon Girl (Xiao Long Nv), the classic couple from The Return of the Condor Heroes. After much anticipation, our very own Singapore’s Yang Guo finally tied the knot with his Gu Gu (how Yang Guo addresses Small Dragon Girl) in 2009, known as the “ Wedding of the Year” after their long 9 years of courtship. The showbiz’s classic golden couple even received their best gift – Baby Zed, the national day baby last year. The arrival of Baby Zed filled every part of their life with love and joy, what is the seven-year itch to them? They are our top 5 local celebrity couples we all envy! They are couples of different characteristics, with different way of life but definitely have one thing in common – love and responsibility towards their lifelong partner. Marriage life might seem daunting to many, because say “I Do” symbolized a lifetime commitment, but many couples have proved to us that love overcomes everything. With love, we can all live happily ever after.
