With just hours left before 2026, Malaysian men’s doubles star Soh Wooi Yik (蘇偉譯) has dropped some news about his dating life. In a recent Instagram post, the world champion confirms his relationship with his non-celebrity girlfriend.
On 30th December 2025 (Tuesday), Soh Wooi Yik updated his Instagram page with a new post featuring him and his girlfriend, whose name is believed to be Lokyee. The post shows the two posing intimately, with Soh Wooi Yik’s hands on his partner’s arms. The caption reads, “I love you”, while the accompanying song is Utada Hikaru’s iconic love song, “First Love”.
According to reports, the couple have been together for some time. However, this is the first time the badminton player has publicly shared his relationship. Since Soh Wooi Yik isn’t known to talk about his private life, many were particularly curious about his love life. As such, the news came as a pleasant surprise to fans and netizens alike.
In the comments, many fans congratulated Soh Wooi Yik on going public with his relationship, wishing the couple a happy and lasting romance. Some also praised the shuttler’s girlfriend’s visuals, saying the two are a perfect match for each other. Fellow Malaysian badminton player Goh Jin Wei also shared her reaction, dropping a heart emoji in the comments section.
Meanwhile, Soh Wooi Yik is preparing for his first 2026 BWF World Tour tournament, the PETRONAS Malaysia Open 2026. The tournament will take place from 6th to 11th January 2026 at Axiata Arena. However, the shuttler and his doubles partner, Aaron Chia, are also open to reducing their tournaments in 2026 to prioritise their health and fitness levels.
Perhaps going public with his relationship can help motivate the badminton star for his upcoming tournaments. Whatever it is, we wish Soh Wooi Yik all the best in his career and love life.
