Host-actress Michelle Chia has married former actor-turned-realtor Jackson B Chen, who is also known professionally as Jackson B. The couple, who had been dating for two months, got married in a private ceremony in an overseas location on August 8, 2025.
This wedding happened just a month before Chia’s 50th birthday, and she called it her “best birthday present.” Her new husband, Jackson B Chen, is 41 years old. He had a brief career in acting after taking part in Star Search 2007 and now works as a property agent.

The Wedding Announcement
A small, intimate group of family and friends attended the wedding. Among the guests were Class 95FM radio deejay Yasminne Cheng and actresses Priscelia Chan and Apple Hong. Both Cheng and Chan posted their congratulations to the couple on their Instagram accounts.
Cheng said on her Instagram: “Congrats to my chiobu @michellechiaofficial & @jacksonbcxz!! Here’s to an everlasting love filled with lots of adventures and laughter!!! Lubchooooooooo!!!!”
Chan, too, congratulated Chia on Instagram: “As you walked down the aisle, I saw the love and joy sparkling in your eyes, Michelle, and the way Jackson shows his love and support for you touched me deeply. I know you have found your forever love and you are in good hands. I am sooooo happy for you Michelle. Blessed Marriage.”
To which Chia replied: “Love this so much Pris, I am so lucky to have you and the rest of my girls with me.”
Jackson B Chen also announced the wedding on his own Instagram. He wrote that he married his “soulmate” and that the moment was “more precious than any deals” he had ever closed.
He also said that their commitment was “sealed with a kiss, not a contract.” He noted that with SG60 (Singapore’s 60th anniversary) coming up, they were honored to celebrate their special moment in a special year for Singapore.
A Second Chance at Love
Chia told Shin Min Daily News that even though she and Jackson hadn’t originally planned to get married, “when fate comes, it really cannot be stopped.” This is Chia’s second marriage. She was previously married to actor Shaun Chen, and they got divorced in 2011.
