Double (Actually Triple) Happiness for Jayley Woo
Local actress Jayley Woo spilled the tea on Instagram back on Oct 23, announcing that she’s not only getting engaged but also pregnant. The news is so rich it could be called a “triple delight”—her fiancé’s birthday, the pregnancy announcement, and the engagement all rolled into one sticky‑felt moment.
Why Jayley Calls Mr. Chen Her Soon‑To‑Be Husband
- They haven’t yet registered their marriage.
- Jayley refers to the mystery man—courtesy only of the screen name Mr Chen—as “my husband.” The logic: “It’s just a matter of time.”
- Her dad suggested they get life’s paperwork stamped on her birthday, 27 Dec, so that they could celebrate three occasions—wedding anniversary, birthday, and Christmas—as a trio.
How the Proposal Unfolded
Jayley had originally planned a wedding‑makeup trial that was meant to be a simple session for a friend’s makeup artist. She was startled when the day turned into a proposal.
She says she cried on arrival—because she had no spare cheerleader in her mind for a wedding room full of family—“I never thought that would be the day.”
The Secret Craftsman
- For more than two weeks, Mr. Chen secretly plotted the proposal.
- He even changed his phone password so Jayley couldn’t peek into his text log.
- “I asked who he was sending messages to—every day, and it was just for the proposal.”
Family‑Friendly Mr. Chen
Jayley introduced Mr. Chen through fellow actress Julie Tan. She vows that once her dad sinks in, the rest will melt away.
An amusing twist: her father and Mr. Chen share breakfast daily. “When I can’t wake up, he swoops in and says, ‘I’m going with your parents, not you.’” Jayley jokes that she’s now making an effort to join the breakfast squad—so their parents don’t get “snatched” by Mr. Chen.
Overcoming Loss and Finding Love
After the tragic loss of former boyfriend Aloysius Pang in Jan 2019, Jayley went through a period of pessimism and depression. She says time healed the wound, but she felt the weight of friends and family urging her to move forward.
Her advice to anyone grieving something similar:
- “Sort out your inner world first and you’ll attract the right person.”
So here’s to a lifetime of double (or triple) happiness for Jayley Woo and Mr. Chen—may their future breakfast dates bring only joy and no playful ribbing about snatching parents!
