UPDATE (25 Dec, 9.40pm): In a subsequent Instagram post, Loh revealed that he’s actually married, having registered his marriage about two months after the proposal.
He also posted some wedding photos, with the bride resplendent in a poofy pink Millia London gown and Loh looking dapper in a BOSS suit. We wish the happy couple many years of wedded bliss.

Sorry, ladies, one of Singapore’s most eligible bachelors is now off the market.
National shuttler Loh Kean Yew has announced that he’s engaged to a mysterious lady.
In fact, this engagement took place one year ago as he proposed to her on Christmas Eve 2022.
In an Instagram post on Sunday (24 Dec), Loh, 26, finally shared with Singaporeans some photos from a life-changing event exactly one year ago.
On 24 Dec 2022, he proposed to the lucky woman in a romantic set-up complete with flowers and candles.
Like a true Singapore boy, he did this with a view of the iconic Singapore attraction the Marina Bay Sands.

Of course, she said yes to the badminton superstar.
Loh, who is the 2021 world champion and is currently ranked 10th in the world, didn’t reveal the name of his fiancée.
He didn’t show her full face, either, choosing to post photos of her back or side view.

However, we know her name has a “jia” in it, as he used the hashtag #jiayew to symbolise their names.
Besides sharing the big news, Loh also tagged the photographer Chin An in the post.
In an Instagram story, he revealed that he’d kept mum about the engagement for a whole year.
