CJ De Silva And Her Husband, Wincy Ong, Were Together For More Than 14 Years
The beautiful couple never revealed the exact timeline of their dating life, but when we scrolled through CJ’s Instagram, we learned that she had been posting photos of her partner since 2010.
So, judging by that fact, we can assume that the couple had been together for more than 14 years.
Just like CJ, Wincy is also a multitalented individual. He is a musician, director, actor, writer, illustrator, and podcaster.
The talented artist is well known for writing songs for bands like Narda and Us-2-Evil-0.
Furthermore, he has directed films like San Lazaro and Overtime.
In addition to that, he also had a comedy podcast named Telebabad Tapes, which he co-hosted with his late wife, CJ.
Besides their careers, De Silva and Ong had similar things that they mutually disliked.
One of the things that they both disliked was celebrating events like anniversaries and Valentine’s Day.
In fact, both of them admitted in an interview that they were introverted and liked to binge-watch old movies during their off days.
While talking about their chemistry, Wincy said,
There’s just something in our brains that declines established norms like dancing “Gangnam,” watching Les Miserables or going on a date. We’d usually just cook pasta, listen to music and watch movies from CJ’s massive torrent folder. Yeah, we’re a really introverted couple.

The introverted couple were married on February 22, 2013.
They never had a kid together.

Furthermore, they both were foodies and liked to wander around and try delicious food from famous restaurants.
In addition to that, they liked attending each and every event together.
And now, after losing CJ, Wincy has lost his best friend and life partner.
