THERE are evident signs of bliss in her big, round eyes.

But contrary to recent reports about her impending marriage, Cassandra See tells us firmly, she is not getting hitched any time soon.

In a recent interview, the part-time actress told The New Paper that while her current relationship is 'very stable', there are 'no plans for marriage as yet'.

Last month, local media reported that Cassandra, who divorced her German husband, Mr Christian Schuler (inset), six years ago, is ready to tie the knot with her current boyfriend.

Shaking her head when this was brought up, she said: 'I don't want to talk about that particular article any more.'

Cassandra, 39, spoke to The New Paper at Anglican High School where she was filming Aunties United - a straight-to-DVD movie slated for release next month - with actor-host Dennis Chew and ex-MediaCorp actress Lina Ng.

She would reveal only that her significant other is a Korean man 'working in a rather high-up position in Disneyland Hong Kong'.

They are the same age and have been dating for four years and counting, she added.

More importantly, Cassandra's son from her previous marriage, Lukas, 'likes him a lot'.

Cassandra kick-started her showbiz career after making the finals of MediaCorp's talent competition Star Search in 1990, the same year as winner Chew Chor Meng and second runner-up Rayson Tan.

Her bubbly personality landed her several wild-child roles. She also played kooky characters.

After marrying Mr Schuler in September 2000, she left MediaCorp to become a full-time mum and to manage her accessories shop Xue Collection at Parkway Parade.

She and Mr Schuler, who works in the IT industry, 'remain very good friends till today', said Cassandra.

'He's a fantastic father to Lukas. We still go travelling as a family and out together for meals.'

When she needs help, it's Mr Schuler she turns to, she added.

Differences

So why did they break up?

With a sigh, Cassandra said it boiled down to 'differences in their love language'.

'I was more emotional whereas he is the realist. It's hard to put it down in concrete terms, but the problems we had were entirely between the both of us, there wasn't any third party involved.'

Despite the divorce, Cassandra said her son continues to enjoy the love of his parents.

'It is unfair for parents to lay their problems on their children,' she said.

'We don't want that with Lukas, we want him to be happy and stay close to both of us.'

Lukas spends his weekdays with Cassandra and weekends with Mr Schuler.

Though he is only 8, when it comes to sex education, it's likely that he has a head start over his peers - thanks to his mum.

Cassandra said she is very open about sharing information on sex with him.

'So long as he is curious and he wants to know, I will tell him everything,' she said.

'I feel many parents tend to underestimate their children. They say, 'when you are older, then daddy and mummy will tell you'.

'But perhaps, your kid is actually mature enough to absorb the information.'

With a laugh, she said she has been reading a pictorial book about the human body with Lukas.

'The graphics are well-drawn and he finds it interesting,' she said.

'It's all part and parcel of growing up. I'd rather he find out all these from me than through other means.'
