You would probably remember Jamie Yeo for her huge, expressive eyes and bright smile on Singapore’s longest-running home-grown English drama, Growing Up, where she played the role of Tammy Tay, the baby of the family from seasons three to five. Well, the youngest Tay daughter is now all grown up, with a seven-year-old daughter and a bouncing baby boy on the way!
An entertainment industry veteran of sorts, having been in the industry for almost two decades (she was casted in Growing Up when she was just 19), she has proven herself to be a versatile artiste as she racked up radio and television hosting credits. She quit acting in 2000 for a five-year stint with 987FM (back when it was still known as Perfect 10). In 2005, she jumped back over to telelvision, this time appearing on the screens as a sports presenter on ESPN’s regional show, Football Crazy. She also hosted the World Cup 2014 highlights in Singapore, and British Premier League Roundup that was shown on Mio TV.
She may not seem to be a football fanatic on the outside, but looks can be deceiving, and she is a self-professed Arsenal fan!
She returned to her radio roots in 2012 at Power98FM and in 2015, she joined Gold90.5FM, and fans can listen to her perky voice on the way home on her Homestretch segment.
Hosting seems to be her forte as even as she switched between radio and television, she was frequently spotted hosting events across the island. The many events she has been the main emcee for include Subaru Car Challenge, to the appearance of The Huntsman stars and even National Day GRC dinners.
Having been in the industry for so long, we’re not surprised that she has close pals within the industry. One of the closer buddies she has is one who shares the same name as her, Jamie Teo. They also share the same birth date and were born in the same hospital. They even look alike, don’t you think?
In the midst of all her hosting and radio gigs, Jamie has found the time to open MUMS, an online site where mums can buy and sell new and pre-loved goods.

Her personal life has had it’s fair share of ups and downs, but as of now, things are on the up and up for Jamie. She went online, found true love and married him in 2017. She and husband Rupert (not much is known about him, not even his last name) are expecting the arrival of their little bub very, very soon.
She announced they were expecting with a cute image of her holding up a tiny romper when she was five months along in June 2017.
Jamie is currently on bed rest in the hospital, thanks to doctor’s orders, which we think means that Alysia is going to officially be a big sister soon.
Throughout her pregnancy, she has been showing off her lithe figure and you can barely see her baby bump with the stylish outfits that she dons.
The second time mama-to-be has also been spending tons of time with Aly, getting down and dirty, reading bedtime stories with her, being Aly’s doll for hair braiding practice and going around town in twinning outfits.
We can’t wait for the arrival of her little boy, and to see what the next few years hold for this power mama.
