When Sports and Love Collide: Delvin Goh & Chelsea Sim’s Unconventional Wedding
Picture this: a bustling Singapore Sports Hub, a place where athletes chase glory, not romance. Yet for Delvin Goh and Chelsea Sim, the very walls of the athletes’ corner became the backdrop of their fairy‑tale meeting.
The Unexpected Encounter
- Delvin Goh: basketball star for the Singapore Slingers in the ASEAN Basketball League.
- Chelsea Sim: a 25‑year‑old taekwondo champion, decorated at the SEA Games, now quietly retiring from the national squad.
- They first crossed paths in September 2019, both lacing up their sneakers in the same corner of the Singapore Sports Institute.
“Chelsea was getting a massage,” recalled Goh, “when I walked in. The odd thing is, we’ve been national athletes since our teens, tussled in the same SEA Games, and even stayed in the same hotels, yet never bumped into each other until that day!”
From First Kiss to First Frame
Fast forward: Goh popped the question in December 2018 and the lovebirds sealed the deal on April 14 of this year. Their wedding photos? Shot right where they first serendipitously met, the very spot that birthed their love story.
We saw the day captured on Instagram (look for the link in the original post), where the couple radiated pure joy against the vibrant backdrop of the Sports Hub.
Why the Sports Hub?
“It’s literally where we met,” Goh muses. “Couples love cliché moments, but ours was a legitimate ‘once in a lifetime’ meeting in the midst of athletic hustle.”
Living Their Love
Goh shares the dream: “I want a joyful life with Chelsea—build a family, keep skating on the basketball court, launch a business, and most of all, stay healthy together.” Chelsea, meanwhile, feels the support, grateful for a partner who understands unwavering commitment.
Love in the Spotlight
They’ve set a new standard for passion—blending playgrounds with partnership. Their story reminds us: the path to love starts where the heart’s rhythm first meets the arena’s beat.
