A mother of seven children by four different men has opened up about her turbulent relationships, financial struggles and challenges of raising her children, shedding light on the difficulties she faces in her daily life.<\/p>\n
Her children are currently aged five to 19.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In an episode of YouTube channel Popping SG last month (Oct 30), Pearlyn, 36, said she had her first child at 17 and had deliberately planned the pregnancy with her then-boyfriend, whom she met on social networking platform Friendster.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Their child, now a teen, is currently in prison.The couple never married.<\/p>\n
She subsequently had two children with her first husband, whom she met while attending private school at the age of 20. However, the relationship eventually ended due to his infidelity and lack of involvement in caring for their children.<\/p>\n
She eventually started working in the nightlife industry to support herself and her children, where she worked for 10 years.<\/p>\n
“I would earn $6,000 to $7,000 back then which was a lot and I (would) pay for my kid’s food, milk powder,” said Pearlyn.\u00a0<\/p>\n
While working in the nightlife industry, Pearlyn met her second husband, who was serving in the Singapore navy at the time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She said she chose to marry him because he accepted her children from previous relationships.<\/p>\n
The couple had two children together, but their marriage eventually ended after she said he had repeatedly physically abused her son from a previous relationship, who has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).\u00a0<\/p>\n
“(The abuse) lasted six months to a year. He will beat him till there was blood and bruises,” said Pearlyn.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Following the abuse, Pearlyn decided to divorce her then-husband.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After an uncontested divorce, their two children remained in their father’s care, while Pearlyn retained her visitation rights.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Pearlyn married her current husband, whom she met at a pub, around 2021 or 2022. The couple have two children together, bringing her total number of children to seven.<\/p>\n
During the interview, Pearlyn’s current husband also revealed that he had been declared bankrupt after accumulating approximately $70,000 in debt across several banks.<\/p>\n
When asked by the hosts whether Pearlyn’s husband was working, the couple revealed that he had previously served in the military but had left his job to spend more time with the family.<\/p>\n
“Financially, it was bad and I was unable to keep up with the monthly bank repayments. So, I decided to ignore the banks for months,” said Pearlyn’s husband.<\/p>\n
The couple also claimed to have been scammed by a person who offered assistance through a debt repayment scheme.<\/p>\n
Pearlyn said they had paid the individual about $7,000, including administrative fees and monthly repayments, but eventually realised something was wrong when the person stopped responding.<\/p>\n
The couple said they subsequently lodged a police report.<\/p>\n
Towards the end of the interview, Pearlyn shared that she current works as a private-hire driver, earning about $3,000 a month. She also takes on part-time work, which brings in an additional $300 to $700.<\/p>\n
“Sometimes when we do not have enough, we will borrow from friends. It is not nice to borrow but we really have no choice because there is no one to help us,” said Pearlyn.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The hosts also asked whether her husband shared the driving duties, to which the couple revealed that he did not have a driving licence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They then discussed possible ways to improve the family’s financial situation, with one of the hosts offering to sponsor half the cost of Pearlyn’s husband’s driving lessons, with the remaining amount covered through audience contributions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Despite their struggles, the couple remained optimistic, saying, “Stay positive. We don’t have to show people how bad things are.”<\/p>\n
