Poh Ling Yeow's VERY modern love life: MasterChef star's ex-husband married her best friend of 20 years -and now they all run a café together By Daily Mail Australia Reporter Published: 03:03 BST, 19 June 2019 | Updated: 03:12 BST, 19 June 2019 Viewcomments Poh Ling Yeow has become one of Australia's most famous celebrity chefs since appearing on the first season of MasterChef in 2009. And while fans are familiar with her culinary skills, many are unaware of her rather complicated love life. The 46-year-old married her first husband, Matt Phipps, in 1990 when they were both practicing Mormons. REVEALED: MasterChef star Poh Ling Yeow has a very modern love life involving an unusual business arrangement with her ex-husband They divorced after nine years together, with Matt going on to marry Poh's best friend of 20 years, Sarah Rich. The Malaysian-born chef then married Jono Bennett, an aspiring actor eight years her junior who was working as a production assistant on MasterChef when they met. In an extraordinary twist, the two couples have since gone into business together, teaming up to open their own café in Adelaide. That's odd! The 46-year-old's first husband Matt Phipps (L) married Poh's best friend of 20 years Sarah Rich (R) after they split - but Poh remains on good terms with them 'He's my ex-husband. She's my best friend. And when we broke up, they got together and it's all dandy. It's actually really good,' she told Mamamia in 2017. Discussing the unusual arrangement with Mamamia in 2017, Poh said: 'He’s my ex-husband. She’s my best friend. And when we broke up, they got together and it’s all dandy. It’s actually really good.' The celebrity chef says she and Matt are 'great mates' and each other's 'closest confidantes', which initially caused some friction with her new husband Jono. Current husband: Poh then wed Jono Bennett (R), an aspiring actor eight years her junior who was working as a production assistant on the first season of MasterChef when they met 'It was something we all had to work on essentially,' Jono told Woman's Day in 2018. 'I know it’s very human to be jealous, but it doesn’t make it right,' he continued. 'There’s a lot of history there, so it’s not something that can be taken away. It’s not something that should be.' Poh is currently appearing on the latest season of MasterChef as a mentor. She also just signed on as the official ambassador for Crock-Pot in Australia and New Zealand.
