"I, Shaun Chen, and Michelle Chia, are currently undergoing divorce proceedings.
"With regards to our friends and the media's concern, thank you for your care and understanding.
"Please give us more space and understanding during this trying time.
"We sincerely wish each other happiness, and may we stay healthy and happy in the future."
This was the statement issued by local actors Shaun Chen, 32, and Michelle Chia, 35 last night.
The couple registered their marriage in April 2008 and held their ceremony 13 months later.
Chia told The New Paper that the decision is 'an amicable agreement... after much discussion and consideration.'
She added that the reasons behind their split are 'too personal and difficult to explain'.
The New Paper reported that Chia is the one who will file for divorce.
Chia has been rumoured to be dating a Caucasian man.
Former TV presentor Benedict Goh, who had dated Chia in the late 1990s, told The New Paper that he was 'both shocked and not', but added that 'in this day and age, divorce is common'.
The once-loving couple met at the set of the Channel U drama 'Power of Love' in 2004.
They were noticeably distant from one another during the recent Star Awards. Chen reportedly seemed shocked by his wife's provocative attire, which left little to the imagination.

Marriage is a long term commitment and responsibilities of both the man and the woman. The two to reunion as one to start up a family be fruitful from that. The husband respects the wife as a weak one and to take good care of her, and the wife respects the husband as a leader of the family and to support him in many ways. It's a team effort! It's the fundamental since from the beginning and without .....
As a public figure and artiste, she lacks the moral sense to conduct herself and set good example to the people and fans. You can be attractive in the most respectable, oriental and demure sense. Flashing skins to arouse the senses of men is not beautiful, it is cheap.
