Yvonne Lim reveals plans to relocate entire family back to Singapore

Has Singaporean actress Yvonne Lim finally convinced her Taiwanese husband Alex Tien to move their entire family back in town? Perhaps.

Yvonne, who is currently based in Taipei, expressed her happiness during an interview claiming that she has "achieved success" with Alex "finally being able to see the good sides of Singapore."

The star said that her husband wishes to apply for permanent residency and is considering the option of relocating here. However, it would not be so soon, "perhaps in three to four years' time," she added.

The family of four had previously lived in Singapore for a month as Yvonne filmed her comeback drama, While You Were Away, which debuts end-June. Her son AJ, also attended preschool here.

For now though, Yvonne is the only one still in town. Her husband returned to Taiwan two months ago with their two children and became a stay-at-home dad.

Despite the seemingly perfect arrangement, Yvonne has a "complaint" - Alex has taken care of the children "too well and they seem to not miss her".

"Sometimes we do video calls twice a day, but the children thought it was too much. It makes me a little sad. But (Malaysian singer) Fish Leong told me to learn to let go and focus on my acting."

Yvonne co-stars with local actor Shaun Chen in While You Were Away, and this will be their third drama in which they rekindle their on-screen romance. They were previously an on-screen couple for Channel 8's Your Hand in Mine in 2009 and Kampong Ties in 2011.

The pair joked that they are like an old couple in this drama.

While You Were Away revolves around issues such as divorce and infidelity, which coincides with the recent Andy Hui and Jacqueline Wong cheating scandal.

With regard to the scandal, Yvonne expressed: "I understand Sammi Cheng, because we are both women. They must have went through alot together. The emotional world is a delicate one. This drama is a multi-faceted discussion on the relationship between husband and wife, and people in general. Hopefully healing will come out of it."
