Nick Teo & Hong Ling: From Seven‑Year Itch to “I Do”!
After a whopping seven years of dating, the A‑list power couple Nick Teo and Hong Ling finally sealed the deal. The news hit the internet on Thursday (Aug 18), just two days after Nick slipped down on one knee at a surprise yacht bash he organized just for her.
The Perfect Timing
Who says romance timing can’t be a bit dramatic? The proposal fell on August 16th, which also turned out to be Hong Ling’s 28th birthday. Talk about layering celebrations!
Instagram’s Heart‑felt Verse
- “Out of over 7 billion people in the world, I found you,” posted Hong Ling on Instagram in a sweet write‑up that warmed hearts worldwide.
- She added, “The very first day you came into my life, I knew you were going to be special to me. Thank you for everything, my love and my soulmate.”
- Nick responded with a short clip from the engaging‑party: “Meeting you has been the best thing that has happened to me.”
- On the “seven‑year itch” question, Nick chirped, “I’ve decided! I want to… spend the rest of our lives together!”
From Casual Greet to Studio Bae
Nick and Hong first crossed paths at a Mediacorp event, both newbies, but the spark grew once they co‑starred in the long‑running drama 118. Now they’re the ultimate on‑screen chemistry turned real‑life love story.
The Splashy Engagement Party
The engagement party footage shows Hong Ling bursting into tears at the moment— and Nick, in a genuinely moving display, couldn’t hold back either. It was a scene so tear‑jerking, it’s a shame it leaked on the internet as it is, but hey, emotions can’t be hypnotically delayed.
“The Ring Wasn’t Needed” But Nick Did It Anyway
- Nick told CNA Lifestyle that Hong Ling always insisted she didn’t need a proposal. Nevertheless, he felt the ceremony mattered as a sign of respect to Hong Ling and her family.
- He even pulled a private “When Duty Calls 2” moment and asked her parents for her hand in marriage.
- Hong Ling said, “He knows how important my parents are to me. I was touched by his sincerity.”
- Fun fact: Hong Ling had already declared in 2019 she was ready to marry Nick—so the wedding bells were already ringing long before the yacht drop‑down!
It’s Official! The Couple Is Engaged and Ready for the Next Chapter

‘Dream proposal’
Romantic Yacht Proposal That Made the Sea the Witness
Picture this: A shimmering yacht sailing across calm waters, the ocean breeze whispering love notes, and a couple ready to swap vows—except the groom had a surprise up his sleeve.
Why a Yacht? The Water’s Special Touch
Nick always says he loves feeling Mother Nature’s embrace on travels—snorkeling, diving, hiking to catch those epic sunrises. For his big moment, he chose the sea, a setting that had a special place in Hong Ling’s heart.
Secrets & Strategies
- He told Hong Ling he’d be out “for work,” which had her frowning at first.
- Meanwhile, friends and family aboard kept her distracted as he worked his magic on décor—one surprise for her birthday, another for the proposal.
- “She’s a curious soul, loves to touch everything,” Nick notes. He hid the “Marry Me?” sign on a metal rack covered by a cloth, worried she’d lift it too soon.
Weather Woes & Quick Decisions
Rain had splashed the day earlier, and cloud shadows gathered again. Despite the weather jitters, Nick seized the moment—knelt, slipped a diamond solitaire ring into her hands, and the perfect sunset painted their backdrop.
Outcome? The answer was resounding—“Yes!”
Looking Ahead: Counting Kids & Bigger Homes
They’re already plotting their next chapter. House-hunting? Check. Dreaming of a home that can hold two kids and more—check.
“I know it’s not entirely in our hands, but having a girl and a boy will spell the Chinese character ‘good,’” Nick smiles.
