MasterChef star Poh Ling Yeow has shocked fans after announcing she has split from her husband of six years, Jonathan Bennett.

The 48-year-old downplayed the divorce, saying, “It’s been the most untraumatic break-up possible.”

Despite admitting her nerves over being “single again after 12 years”, Poh seemed anything but heartbroken after pictures surfaced of her chatting to none other than her first husband, Matt Phipps.

The pair sent tongues wagging when they were snapped laughing their way through their shift at Poh’s food stall Jamface in Adelaide recently, with her ex at one point seen leaning into whisper something in her ear.

The sighting comes after Poh revealed that she currently works with Matt at the stall.

She also currently works with his wife Sarah Rich – who is also Poh’s best friend – and Poh’s now estranged husband Jonathan, which she labels a “catalogue of failed marriages”.

And while the group all seem to get along swimmingly, Poh has hinted at the pain she sometimes feels over her lost love with Matt – even while she was married to Jonathan.

“Break-ups are horrible. Because no matter what, even now, I still have a little cry over it,” she said in 2017.
