The 37-year-old artiste, who married his Taiwanese wife Wu Su-ling, said he wanted to focus on his two children, Joe, seven, and Grace, five.

On a “surprise” wedding reception which Chaw promised his wife, the star said they held the wedding reception in December last year but refused to disclose the details of the reception.

Chaw had previously said that he would throw a wedding reception for his wife as they did not have one when they registered their marriage in 2008.
