Jamie Chua Husband, Marriage

Nurdian Cuaca was Jamie Chua’s first husband. Nurdian is an Indonesian business magnate who became a multimillionaire later in life. Her ex-husband has invested in a variety of industries, including automobiles, real estate, and casinos. She and Nurdian share two children. Calista was born in 1998, and Cleveland was born in 1995. The former lovers met on a flight while she was working for Singapore Airlines as an air stewardess (SIA). She is currently married to Terence Koh.

While her ex-husband, Nurdian, is currently a business tycoon, this was not the case when they married. Her ex-husband worked for a company as an employee. For ten years, the couple struggled before Nurdian struck it rich. Jamie Chua then filed for divorce in February 2010. The couple had been married for over 15 years at the time.

She blamed her divorce on her husband’s ‘irrational behavior.’ Nurduan countersued for divorce on his grounds in response. The divorce was thrust into the public eye. This was because she was seeking alimony in the amount of $450,000 Singapore dollars per month from her ex-husband.

Her ex-husband allegedly cancelled her supplementary credit card during the divorce. Additionally, the business magnate reduced her monthly maintenance fee. Additionally, her ex-husband transferred $3.2 million from a Singapore bank account to an Indonesian account over a two-day period.

As such, she requested that her ex-$93 husband’s million in assets be frozen. Additionally, she sought an interim maintenance order. Her ex-husband, on the other hand, claimed that the money belonged to his sister. However, her attorneys contended that it was a calculated move to reduce the amount of property that would be divided in their divorce.

As a result, her application for an injunction was granted. On 15 November 2011, the protracted dispute came to an end. Additionally, the asset freeze on Nurdian Cuaca was lifted. However, the final terms of their divorce settlement were not disclosed. She revealed in a 2018 interview that she and her ex-husband are amicable. However, the socialite acknowledged that the divorce was a low point in her life.
