Tan Zong Yang and Shanti Pereira have been together for a long time, indicating that they have a strong relationship.
After being friends for four years, the two apparently began dating in 2021.
Veronica Shanti Pereira was born on September 20, 1996, in Singapore. Pereira is a track and field athlete who specializes in 100 meters, 200 meters, the 4 x 100 meter relay, and the 4 x 400 meter relay.

Moreover, she also holds the 200-meter Asian Athletics Championships game record of 22.70 seconds. Based on World Athletics records, Veronica was ranked first in Asia in the 100 m and the 200 m in 2023.
Furthermore, the athlete won gold in 23.03 seconds in the 19th Asian Games, ending Singapore’s 49-year wait for the gold medal in track and field since Chee Swee Lee’s victory in the women’s 400m in 1974.
Is Zong Yang The Husband Of Shanti Pereira?
Zong Yang is not a track and field player yet. Shanti Pereira gave a low-key shoutout to her significant other, Tan Zong Yang, in a Singapore article published in The Straits Times.
“We both devote everything to training and competitions, even though we’re working adults now,” Shanti said.
Moreover, she also mentioned that they just try to understand each other and what they are going through. Even if it’s about work or training, the couple wants to be there for each other.
The pair shares their special moments and photos of each other on Instagram. Additionally, the player said that, after the long trip, she went straight to Tan for curry chicken with rice.
In addition to that, the athlete said Tan is her comfort, and curry chicken rice is her go-to meal. The duo understands and can empathize with each other; they have strong connections.
As athletes, they both can feel each other more than others, so even if the pair are not married yet, they will surely do so soon.
