Love in the Limelight: Charmaine Hui Announces Engagement to Dreamy Singaporean
Who’s the Lucky Groom?
Charmaine Hui, 24, the daughter of star actor Benz Hui, surprised fans by calling out her beau—Shane Sim, a 26‑year‑old Singaporean who’s currently diving into a master’s program in Hong Kong.
First Spark, Lasting Flame
They met back in 2017 through a circle of mutual friends. The chat never stopped, and before the calendar flipped, Charmaine had already introduced Shane to the Hui family—an instant “yes” from the parents.
Break & Re‑bound
Like any great romance, there were hiccups. An amicable split shook things, sparking a brief fallout. Yet, within just two months they were back in each other’s arms, proving it was “a test” that both had passed with flying colors.
Shane = The Hallmark of “No Lah‑Style” Sweetness
When a Hong Kong journalist likened Shane to the handsome singer Carlos Chan, Charmaine rolled her eyes—“Carlos is better looking—no lah! He’s got his own glow.”
“Real Guy” in All Caps
She describes him as
- Straight‑forward (no drama, just facts)
- Kind (the type who remembers your birthdays)
- Filial (well-behaved, respects parents)
- Loyal (no one is “vacationing” when he’s here)
- Responsible (the guy who pays) and
- Dedicated to Family (his love bridges Sarah, Mom, Dad and even the house plants)
“My fiancé might not be the #1 thing here, but he respects my family and loves my life. A man like that is rare, and I’m lucky to have him on the sidelines,” she confessed.
In Short
Charmaine and Shane’s love saga flashes a hopeful reminder that joyful relationships are about teamwork, reliability, and a sprinkle of humor—plus a prayer that future engagements feel less like celebrity gossip and more like a script of everyday heartstrings.

Charmaine’s Sweet Engagement Story
On October 17, Charmaine and her beau went out for a relaxed dinner—Japanese food, of course—and grabbed some everyday essentials. After the meal, they headed home where an unexpected cameo happened.
Who Got the Spotlight?
- Mary Hon—the famous TVB actress who’s also Charmaine’s godmother—was there, snapping photos.
- To Yin Gor—Mary’s husband and Charmaine’s godfather—joined the fun.
With both godparents watching, Shane knocked on the floor, pulled out a yellow diamond ring, and declared his love. Charmaine’s first reaction? A bit of nervousness and a burst of laughter.
Did the Bride Cry?
“I was a mix of nerves and joy,” Charmaine joked. “We didn’t shed any tears—enough to keep the whole moment light and amusing.”
Wedding Plans and Celebration Locations
- Exact date? Still under wraps, but she’s confident it’ll be “short‑and‑sweet.”
- The grand banquet? Expect two epic parties—one in Singapore and one in Hong Kong, because they’re bound to have a huge number of relatives and friends in both places.
When Careers Come First
Before tying the knot, both Charmaine and Shane want to keep their professional gears running. Charmaine plans to open two new cafés in Orchard—she’s thinking about expanding her Bakeaholic brand—and eventually one more spot back home in Hong Kong.
Funding the Dream
Rumors have been floating that Charmaine’s father, Benz, invested roughly HK$1 million (about S$172,800) into the first café. He’s been asked whether this amount would double with the new branches.
Benz replied, “There are slight differences between the reported figure and the real number. But I’m not going to disclose the exact cost.”
All In All…
When it comes to love and business, Charmaine’s charm and humor shine brightly. No tears, just laughter and promise—an engaging blend that makes her story feel all the more vivid and human. Stay tuned for the wedding buzz and those cafes that are sure to delight the taste buds of Orchard’s residents.
