Darren Lim Used Sharon Au As A “Smokescreen” To Go On Dates With Wife Evelyn Tan When He Was Chasing Her

Sharon revealed that she used to be Darren’s wingman and it was thanks to her that he was able to ask Evelyn out on dates.

When they were rehearsing for Beauty World, Darren expressed interest in Evelyn and wanted to pursue her. However, Evelyn was only 22 and her mum did not allow her to go on dates with guys alone. It didn’t help that Darren “looked like a playboy”.

So Darren turned to Sharon for help. Not only did she ask Evelyn out on his behalf, she tagged along on their dates.

Subsequently, they used Sharon as a “smokescreen” to go on dates.

"I was indispensable. Otherwise, there would be no date,” Sharon said.

Being the third wheel was no fun, though. Sharon recalled that Darren and Evelyn’s first date was at Sungai Buloh Wetland Reserve.

"The three of us went to really ulu places. When they went on dates, I would follow behind looking at the sky, wondering why my life was reduced to such a state,” she quipped.

“When they got married, I was so emotional that I cried because I no longer have to [go on dates with them]!"

Darren and Evelyn tied the knot in 2004. They have four kids, Kristen, 16, Jairus, 14 and Way, 12, and Elliott, eight.
