'I still regret it': Ben Yeo on getting married too early in his acting career

Ben Yeo got married in 2006 aged 28.He's been married for 18 years, but local host-actor and F&B business owner Ben Yeo still harbours some regrets about it.

The 45-year-old discussed the matter candidly in a video with fellow actor Desmond Ng in a video uploaded by Mediacorp's The Celebrity Agency yesterday .Desmond, 36, responded: "Last time I felt I want to get married at 27. But I was focused on my career and a decade passed."Turning the tables on Ben, Desmond described watching the former on TV "since was young", noting his "Japanese-influenced style" when he just started out.

"I've actually spoken to my wife about this, I told her honestly that I regretted getting married so early. Because my career had just started, and I had the image of an 'idol'."Ben started off as a host back in 2002 on Channel U, before making his acting debut in 2005. The next year, he got married to Cheong aged just 28, which came as a shock to everyone.

"Zoe Tay. Because she's like a goddess to me, someone I've admired since I was young," Desmond responded."She's quite a spitfire," Desmond agreed.Desmond also asked Ben if he would pick showbiz or F&B were he to only have time for one, and Ben picked the latter.
