The thrice-divorced Ong was most recently married to fellow DJ Jean Danker with Mediacorp’s Class 95. The couple split in December 2024 after eight years of marriage and have no children.
His previous two marriages were with DJs Jamie Yeo and Kate Reyes, who died from breast cancer in 2014. They also do not have children with him.
Ong had previously said that “I’m not looking to move on to another serious relationship because I feel I’ve never had time for myself”.
As for marriage, the presenter and host confessed that “the moment I get married, it becomes a bit unsexy already”.
“But as long as I’m not married, I can be in a relationship for like maybe a decade or more or whatever. I still feel like it’s a bit sexier than if I got married, and I’m calling my other half wife,” he said. “Some people love that and think it is so romantic, but I don’t.”
With regards to the 30-year age gap with Lazo, Ong told TNP: “Why not? If a girl who is 25 years old and me kind of vibe, and we go out, I’m completely fine with that. If you put any guy in my shoes, or if those who criticise me were in my situation, they’d love it, right?” he said.
“I don’t date 25-year-old women often, and 25 is the lowest age I would date.”
