Five TV and radio personalities reflect on their parenting moments in 2024 and discuss upcoming plans
Local actress Yvonne Lim is counting down to 2025 with anticipation and trepidation. It will mark the start of a new chapter as her family relocates back to Singapore.
The 48-year-old has been living in Taiwan for close to a decade since she married Taiwanese-American businessman Alex Tien, 45, a former boy band member.
They have a 10-year-old son, Alex Junior (AJ), and a daughter, Alexa, who turns eight in January.
The homecoming is long overdue, she tells The Straits Times over the telephone from Taiwan.
"We moved here five months after I gave birth to AJ in Singapore. I told Alex that I would live in Taiwan for two years only, but I ended up staying for close to 10 years."
She always wanted to return to Singapore for their children's education.
Had it not been for the Covid-19 pandemic, the family would have relocated to Singapore in 2021 so AJ could start Primary 1.
