Singaporean singer JJ Lin’s older brother, Eugene Lim, 43, just got engaged.

According to Taiwanese news portal Liberty Times, Eugene's bride-to-be is Rita, who is Taiwanese and not in showbiz. To announce her engagement, she had posted on her social media a picture of a ring with JJ’s song 'The Story Of Us' as the background track.

It goes without saying that JJ is really close to his brother.

In previous interviews, the singer shared that he first got into music 'cos of Eugene. Back when JJ was in secondary school, the siblings and a couple of schoolmates were in a band called The Gents.

In 1999, the brothers joined music company Ocean Butterflies' Very Singers' Training Course together. Both made it to the final 10. 

However, Eugene eventually chose a career in banking and finance over music. JJ, on the other hand, became one of Asian pop's biggest stars,

Yep, that's definitely Yan Palace the couple's standing in front of.

That's not to say that Eugene has given up his passion for music. He was featured in the song ‘Fly Back In Time’ on JJ’s 10th album Stories Untold.

During JJ’s concerts here in 2013 and 2015, Eugene also performed on stage with the singer.

When reached for a comment, JJ replied through his management agency, confirming Eugene's good news.

“My brother is about to get married, and he held an engagement banquet in Singapore last week. Thank you for your concern!” read the statement.
