			=== Engagement to Cherylene Chan (2025) ===
			In December 2025, Ryan Tan, proposed to his long‑time girlfriend, Cherylene Chan, during a trip to Switzerland. The engagement was publicly shared on social media by Tan on 14 February 2026, when he posted [https://www.instagram.com/ryanxgo/reel/DUs_Hu_E0a2/ a video of the proposal] on Instagram, revealing that he had chosen the location and timing to fulfil what Chan had long dreamed of which was being proposed to in Switzerland. In the footage, Tan is seen going down on one knee and expressing his desire to spend the rest of his life with her before she said yes, with snow gently falling in the background to complete the “fairytale” moment.<ref name=":3" />

			Tan and Chan had begun dating in 2020, following Tan’s very public divorce from his NOC co‑founder and ex‑wife, Sylvia Chan. In recounting the proposal, Tan acknowledged the support and planning from close friends who spent nearly a year organising the surprise, and spoke warmly about Chan’s sacrifices and loyalty over their five years together. He highlighted her positive influence on his life, saying that coming home to her “gives me strength”, and emphasised that she was far more than a casual companion but someone deeply committed to their partnership.<ref name=":3" />

			The announcement drew largely congratulatory reactions online, with many netizens expressing support for the couple’s journey through ups and downs, although some comments also questioned Tan’s description of Chan as having been labelled “sugar baby” early in their relationship, a term Tan clarified as a reference to past public perception rather than his private view of her.<ref name=":3" />
