Joey Swee & Peter Yu Reunite 22 Years After Starring Opposite Each Other In My Teacher, My Friend

And now she’s on a quest to find the ‘students’ she 'taught' in the 1999 Mediacorp drama.

Joey Swee & Peter Yu Reunite 22 Years After Starring Opposite Each Other In My Teacher, My Friend

Fancy a trip down memory lane?

Former Mediacorp stars Joey Swee, 44, and Peter Yu, 52, did just that earlier this week, when they met up for a quick catch-up session over a meal.

And it looks like their reunion got Joey reminiscing about the 1999 drama they both starred in — My Teacher, My Friend.

Before that, here’s a quick refresher on the two former actors. Joey, or Xu Qi, for those who know her by her Chinese name, retired from showbiz in 2009 to become a full-time mum. She did make a comeback in 2018 to act in longform drama Reach for the Skies.

Joey is married to Indonesian-Chinese businessman Gani Bustan and can now be seen in the reality show Superman Juniors, with her two younger sons, Jefferson, 11, and Algernon, seven. Her eldest boy Kynaston is 14.

Peter is relatively more active than Joey in showbiz, having acted in dialect drama Hoseh Bo? (How Are You?) as well as 2020 Mediacorp English drama, Reunion, in recent years.

He was married to Quan Yifeng for 10 years, before they called it quits in a high-profile divorce in 2008. Their daughter Eleanor Lee is now 21. He subsequently got hooked on gambling and drinking, racking up a huge debt. However, he has since cleaned up his act. Peter wed sales merchandiser Brenda Leow in 2011 and the couple has two sons, Israel, four, and Christian, six.
