Jesseca: The Langkawi‑Born Dream‑Dealer
Picture this: a sunny beach on Langkawi, a pretty face, and a future Hollywood‑style superstar that grew out of the “Seven Princesses” of Singapore’s early‑2000s scene. That was Jesseca Lee – already a beauty queen and a modeling icon when a Mediacorp talent scout saw her flickering on screen in 2004 and handed her a deal in the hit swim drama The Champion. One year later she snagged Most Popular Newcomer at the 2005 Star Awards, and the rest was a dream‑weaving playlist of roles – from Portrait Of Home to the refugees‑feared heart‑breakers Secrets For Sale, The Oath, and the cross‑border film Lost And Found with Taiwanese stars.
She’s not just a star – she’s a businesswoman. A proud owner of Bellis Spa with three salon locations, a cozy café, and an Airbnb in the jungle – all run with a little family help. And she’s on the car‑ride front, proudly doing her Mazda ambassador gig alongside her home‑grown beauty fighter, Estetica. But if you think she’s done playing the leading lady, she’s still filming the psychologically charged Channel 8 drama Mind Matters, playing a manic‑cleaning tailor who can’t let a speck of dust get past her.
Hobblebridade and Birdie T–Shocks
Fresh back from a whirlwind honeymoon that took them through Italy, Spain, and Portugal, the little lovebirds decided to try the “Italian take‑away” spirit in Florence. Meanwhile, a squad of surprise birds decided to turn the delivery guy’s head into a new bird‑poop playlist. “Everyone laughing, clawing at the droppings, that’s the real romance,” Jesseca says, reflecting on the moment when a flock of untamed pigeons accidentally turned Jeremi’s head into a walking canary. She even kissed the moment with her Instagram.
Jeremy – The Former Romantic Knight
Jesseca and Jeremy’s love story is time‑tested for three thorough years, culminating in a star‑burst wedding in Langkawi last July. “Before we were Mrs. and Mr., he’d spin me a candle‑lit rooftop dinner, a pic‑stop at a Japanese temple with a cliffwoman’s glassy view, and even a cake cradling a ring. Those were the real romantic moments – but these days they’re more slammed schedules.” She jokes that busy filming habits have squeezed out the long, romantic “fun” moments.
First Valentine? Zero! – Jokes and the Chill Plan
Three words: “V‑Day? Boo.” The couple prefer not to go over the top and keep dates simple and chill with small surprises. “We’re not arcing the romantic high‑speed, no we’re just opening a picnic door for each other, no need to jam our life in the big seasonal flare,” she says. “If one day you treat your spouse nicely, it’s day #Mother’s Day. That’s all we do.”
The Heat of “Newlywed Ink” – Year of the Dog
With the Chinese New Year coming, the same day Jesseca would spend the traditional Chinese holiday with her husband’s family is a new expedition of new traditions – from the Singapore’s in‑law to the family in Langkawi. “We’ll steal that look of a Cambodian cousin from my mother’s home cooked cake & some homemade cookies. Life will be a lot easier to weigh somehow,” she aims to share. “I consider the good fortune for the year of the dog for our family, for our couple to remain close and found a slight flourishing in an expanded wedding chord” said Jesseca.
Future: Potential Even If Life Is Hard
Jesseca is filming the upcoming drama Babies On Board where she portrays a gynecologist dealing with infertility that will force context – as if she was talking with OB‑GYN or people afloat with parents.
She discovered how mothers risk their life with every childbirth. “If my sister’s daughter turned in a 5 year from birth, it seemed almost norm. I was setting to move out of the algorithm after a decent. That could get more complicated now that I am the concept at my time to reassure it will find the right course.” She aims that she might do it in the next two years for her family. The new disapproval. “Teen-modeler logic, embryos or babies may feel like they affect the “boss,” so I will handle the first generation of a baby for me.”
