A popular actress and singer is struggling to adjust to post-married life, according to her friend.
On June 13, following a string of scandals, Malaysian actress Bella Astillah and Singaporean actor Aliff Aziz divorced for the second time. The couple previously divorced in 2019 due to Aziz’s alleged infidelity after he was spotted with several women. Astillah and Aziz reconciled and remained married for five more years.
People only know Aliff had cheated on me four or five times, but in actuality, it was 11 times. I have proof, and Aliff also knows it.

The second divorce came months after Aziz was allegedly spotted alone with his former co-star and friend of Astillah, actress Ruhainies, in her Pavilion Suites condominium. According to a report by The Strait Times, Astillah blamed Ruhainies for the divorce.
I’d like to say congratulations to my ex-friend Ruhainies for successfully ruining my marriage and causing my children to lose their father.

Now, twice-divorced Astillah is adjusting to life as a divorcee and single mother, according to a friend of the star, actress Puteri Sarah Liyana. Her children’s wellbeing is Astillah’s number one concern.
Bella is still in the shock phase. She is still unable to accept the reality, but she’s trying to adapt to her new status now.
As a friend, I’ll try to support and give her strength to move on. I told her I would always be with her, and that she doesn’t need to feel ashamed to ask for my help.

Bella Astillah married Aliff Aziz in 2016. They have two children, Mohd Ayden Adrean, age 6, and Ara Adreanna, age 3.
