“I’d like to say congratulations to my ex-friend Ruhainies for successfully ruining my marriage and causing my children to lose their father,” the 30-year-old wrote.
Bella, whose real name is Dayang Ara Nabella Awang Astillah, finalized her divorce from Aliff, 33, at the Federal Territories Syariah Lower Court on June 13. During the proceedings, Aliff agreed to grant Bella full custody of their two children and promised not to file any disobedience claims against her.
The couple had previously divorced on May 16, 2019, but reconciled during the iddah period. Bella explained in her Instagram post that the divorce was the best decision, as she had given Aliff numerous chances to change his behavior.
“Repeating the same wrongdoings is not a mistake but a choice. I’ve fought to save this relationship, but it’s a hopeless battle because I was the only one fighting for it,” she wrote.
Despite the challenges, Bella expressed no regrets, viewing the experience as part of life’s tests. However, she admitted that it changed her perspective on love.
“After this day, I never want to love someone too deeply because the split will definitely leave a deep wound. Please pray that my new life with my kids is made easy, and I will try my very best to be the best mum and dad for them,” she added.
Bella and Aliff, who married in 2016, became a topic of public interest on March 9 when religious authorities detained Aliff under suspicion of committing khalwat with Ruhainies, 31. Bella filed for divorce shortly after, but Aliff initially refused to grant it during an April 4 hearing.
Bella has accused her ex-husband of cheating on her multiple times, including with her younger sister. In a podcast, Aliff admitted to the infidelities, stating he did so because his “soul felt empty.”
