Eddino Abdul Hadi for The Straits Times
Veteran local radio DJ Glenn Ong's latest social media post on Sept 30 has sparked talk that he is dating Jonica Lazo, an actress from the Philippines.
In the post, the Kiss92 presenter welcomed Lazo to Singapore and included a photo of them with his arm around her at a "great weekend party" at local wine outlet Harvest & Cellar. Other photos in the same post showed him having drinks with her and a group of friends at the same place.
When asked by The Straits Times if they were dating, Ong, 55, said he would "neither admit nor deny" it.
ST understands Lazo is in town to attend the Formula One Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2025 that takes place from Oct 3 to 5, and has family here.
According to Filipino online tabloid Hataw! D'yaryo ng Bayan, Lazo was 23 years old in February 2024 and is a graduate of UST Angelicum College in Quezon City, the Philippines.
Her IMDb page lists her roles in several recent films such as horror movie Isolated (2025) and drama She Means Business (2025). She also appeared in 12 episodes of raunchy comedy television series Wow Mani (2025).
Her Instagram account, which has 168,000 followers, includes posts of her in Singapore, like one dated Sept 24 featuring her frolicking in a bikini at Siloso Beach Resort. She also has 109,000 followers on Facebook and 41,200 followers on TikTok.
Ong hosts The Big Show With Glenn, Angel & Tim on SPH Radio's Kiss92 together with Angelique Teo and Tim Oh, who joined the team in mid-September.
Ong was married for eight years to fellow local radio DJ Jean Danker, 47, a host and presenter on Mediacorp's Class 95. The former couple, who had no children, announced their split in December 2024.
It was Ong's third marriage, following his previous two with the late Kate Reyes and Jamie Yeo, both former radio DJs.
In June, he posted on social media that he used to be "unhappily married", without going into details.
In an interview with ST in April, he shared his view on finding love again after divorce, saying: "I'm not looking to move on to another serious relationship because I feel I've never had time for myself. I've never not been in a relationship."
