Malaysian actress Bella Astillah has grabbed public attention after she was seen celebrating the birthday of Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman’s older brother, alongside the Muar MP and his family.
On June 28, Syed Saddiq’s sister-in-law Aishah Kamal shared three photos from the small gathering on Instagram.
The first featured a family picture with Bella, 31, standing next to Syed Saddiq, 32. The other two captured her posing with the politician’s mother, sister and Aishah herself.
“Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband! So happy we could celebrate you today with our family. You’re the best father and husband, and you deserve all the happiness in the world!
“Big thanks to my sister-in-law and Bella for helping me pull together this lovely gathering,” Aishah wrote in the captions.
The post quickly set social media abuzz, with many netizens gushing over Bella and Syed Saddiq’s closeness. Some also applauded her for supporting the former Youth and Sports Minister during his darkest times.
“Bella is loyal. Even when Syed Saddiq was at his lowest, she never left,” one netizen commented.
Another added: “Alhamdulillah, YB’s family is on very good terms with Bella.”
For the record, Bella and Syed Saddiq sparked romance rumours earlier this year after appearing together in a Hari Raya Aidilfitri campaign for a local fashion label.
On June 25, Bella arrived at the Court of Appeal in Putrajaya to show support as Syed Saddiq awaited a ruling on his appeal. He was later acquitted of all four charges in the RM1.2mil graft case involving funds from Armada Bersatu.
In a TikTok livestream the next day, Syed Saddiq revealed that Bella had been a constant presence in his life over the course of their six-month acquaintance.
He described her as an “extraordinary woman”, adding: “Whatever hardship I’ve faced is nothing compared to what she has gone through.”
Bella was previously married to Singaporean artiste Aliff Aziz, with whom she shares two kids.
The former couple first divorced in 2019 but reconciled in 2020. They divorced for the second time on June 13, 2024.
