In a recent interview with Harian Metro, Jamal, whose full name is Jamal Ubaidillah bin Haji Mohd Ali, expressed his joy and gratitude for this new addition to his family. “It’s wonderful to watch kids grow and see their different personalities,” said the singer, once known as the bad boy of Malaysian pop.
Jamal acknowledged that raising young children at his age can be challenging, but he has help to manage the task. “I have an assistant at home to take care of the kids, and I also hire nannies on a daily or hourly basis. Their roles vary; some focus on teaching, while others engage in play and plan activities for the children,” he explained.
Jamal and Zai, who married in 2017, have four children together: Nur Azura Yamani, four, El Isaac Yamani, three, Iskandar Rayyan Yamani, two, and Rahil Laura Salsabila Yamani, one. Jamal also has two older children from previous marriages: Osama Yamani, 23, and Zaki Yamani, 18.
The singer’s excitement about his growing family highlights his enduring love for fatherhood and his commitment to providing for his children despite the challenges that come with age.
