Personal life

Quan and Yu divorced on 3 January 2009 and share custody of their daughter. Quan shared she has forgiven her ex-husband and they no longer have any animosity between them.
Controversy
In 1996, Quan was fined S$1,000 after a fight with a bowling alley assistant.
In 2010, Quan was accused of abusing a taxi driver. It was alleged that she was angry that the taxi driver did not help with loading her luggage onto the taxi and throwing her forward while stopping sharply at a junction. She supposedly alighted, kicked the car door and then kicked the taxi driver in the groin. She subsequently locked herself in the taxi and messed the taxi up. She had hired Subhas Anandan to represent her after the incident. She was charged with two counts of mischief and one count of using criminal force.
On 29 December 2011, Quan Yi Feng was sentenced to 15 months' probation in court. Quan was charged with damaging a taxi meter, pulling out the receipt printer of a cab and spilling water on the receipt printer. Two other charges—of kicking the right passenger door of the taxi, and pushing and attempting to kick the 53-year-old taxi driver—were also taken into consideration.
She had to attend psychological therapy and counselling sessions as part of her probation.
In July 2013, Quan had a brush with the law once again when she knocked down a pedestrian at a crossing. Quan pleaded guilty to one count of inconsiderate driving under the Road Traffic Act and was fined S$800 and banned from driving for three months.
