Bonnie Loo Calls Herself The Third Wheel In Newly-Engaged Nick Teo & Hong Ling’s Relationship; Dedicates Heartfelt Post To The Couple

Yesterday (Aug 18), Hong Ling, 28, and Nick Teo, 33, announced their engagement, a happy culmination to seven years of dating. 

Of the many well-wishes left by their followers and celeb pals, it was Hong Ling's showbiz bestie Bonnie Loo's Instagram dedication to the couple that stood out. 

Bonnie, who was one of the only two celebs present at the proposal (the other being He Yingying), wrote: "Everyone came with their blessings, and went on board the luxurious yacht, all [their] important friends and family were gathered together."

"This is the moment that many young girls look forward to, the love story of a prince and [his] princess has officially started."

The actress then shared how she and the couple first met.

"Throwback to seven years ago, Nick, Hong Ling and I technically entered showbiz at the same time. We went for acting lessons and would hang out together. We stayed near one another, and so we would always go around as a trio. Later on, I slowly became a 'lightbulb'", she quipped. 

For those who don't know, a lightbulb refers to a third wheel in a couple's relationship.

Bonnie also said she witnessed the couple's growth over the years.

"I'm very happy that Hong Ling has found her happiness. A relationship requires hard work from both parties, this is something I see in them."

"He loves her very much and she's the center of everything he does. She always has him in mind and is no longer wilful because of him," wrote Bonnie, who added that Nick and Hong Ling were also by her side during some of her lowest points in life.

"Thank you for your love," she said.
