Singaporean radio DJ Jean Danker is single and ready to mingle - but is not quite prepared to date anyone seriously post-divorce.

The 46-year-old was married to fellow radio personality Glenn Ong, 54, for eight years. 

The former couple tied the knot in 2016, before announcing their split in December 2024. They did not have any children together.

Danker posted a series of Instagram Stories on June 10, where she answered anonymous Ask Me Anything questions posed by some of her 77,700 followers.

When queried about her thoughts on dating younger men, she replied she has been exclusively asked out by guys she labels as “the brave young 20somethings”, adding that they have been “lovely”.

In response to whether she is ready to get attached, the Mediacorp artiste mused: “Let’s just say it’s gonna take someone really special for me to give up sleeping diagonal on my massive king sized bed - and it hasn’t happened yet.”

She also shared advice that while “all relationships are complicated”, she finds that “being courageous is a daily decision” she makes.

She added that women should not beat themselves up for having “any kind of feelings” towards divorce, “whether it’s embarrassment or otherwise”.

“It’s scariest just before you do it and even if you leap crying, and fly through the air screaming in fear, you’re gonna land on solid ground, I promise you. Be brave.”

In an interview with The Straits Times in April, Ong said about the divorce: “As sad as I feel about what has happened, we’re still amicable.”

It was his third marriage. His former wives were Jamie Yeo and the late Kate Reyes, both former local radio DJs.

“I’m not looking to move on to another serious relationship because I feel I’ve never had time for myself. I’ve never not been in a relationship.” – The Straits Times/Asia News Network
