Daniel Ong And His Fiancee Fay Tan Are Starting Their Own Little Blended Family
These amazing celebrity blended families like Jennifer Lopez, Jamie Teo, Will Smith and more prove it really is possible for everyone to get along.
Blended families are a fact of life. With close to one in two marriages now ending in divorce, it's inevitable that later on in life new and old partners - and the kids you've have accumulated along the way - will have to come together, hopefully harmoniously.
Former radio DJ Daniel Ong will soon be joining two families into one after successfully proposing to his girlfriend of nine months, Fay Tan, on 22 August 2019 at the picturesque Club Med Finolhu Villas in Maldives.
This will be his second marriage after divorcing actress and former beauty queen Jaime Teo in 2016.
Fay also has a daughter, Gretel, from a previous relationship, and it looks like the stepsisters-to-be will have no trouble getting along, judging from the heart-warming pictures that Daniel has posted of them playing together.
While bringing two families together can be a potential minefield of emotional baggage and unresolved tensions, there are plenty of success stories out there that prove blended families can totally get along.
Judging by these celebrity blended families below, it seems if there's enough water under the bridge, everyone truly can get through anything, together.
