Singaporean singer Kelly Poon in surprise Instagram marriage announcement, with big diamond ring

Singaporean Mando-pop singer Kelly Poon has announced her marriage to a Taiwanese music producer. The 36-year-old, who was the first runner-up on singing competition Project SuperStar in 2005, posted a photo on Instagram showing a diamond ring on her ring finger.

Netizens initially thought the singer was announcing an engagement, but it was later revealed that she and her partner had tied the knot. Poon had previously not revealed she was in a relationship, but had posted snippets of their interactions on Instagram stories.

Poon and husband Roger Yo tied the knot on February 24, according to an interview with Chinese-language daily Zaobao. Only her mother and younger sister knew about the marriage.

Yo is the producer behind Taiwanese singer A-lin's hit song Give Me a Reason to Forget. The 37-year-old has also worked with other artists including Tiger Huang, and S.H.E. It was reported that the couple had known each other for three years. It was “a natural process”, Poon said.

“We talked about business every time we met, in a group. As we rarely dated with just the both of us, it felt like a group activity. The funniest thing is that even after we got together, no one realised – only a few of our best buddies.”
