(ANN/THE STAR) – Malaysian actor and singer, Bellas Astillah calmly acknowledged Sarah Yasmine’s recent revelation that she is romantically involved with Bella’s husband, Aliff Aziz.
Bella, also known as Dayang Nabella Awang Astillah, shared that she had been aware of Aliff’s relationship with Sarah, along with those he had with several other women.
In fact, Sarah is one of the 11 women Bella has identified as having a relationship with her husband.
During a Hari Raya open house event in Petaling Jaya on Wednesday (April 24), Bella revealed to mStar, The Star’s Malay-language portal, that she had previously placed a recording device in the car, which is how she learned about Aliff’s relationship with Sarah.
She expressed that while she was not surprised by the revelation, she was taken aback by certain details of their relationship.
“I’ve mentioned before that I’ve placed a recording device in the car. So I’m not surprised. I already knew about the relationship with Sarah.”
Despite the circumstances, Bella’s encounter with Sarah was unexpected. Sarah initiated contact with Bella, leading to a meeting between the two women.
“She really wanted to meet me. We met last week in Kuala Lumpur. I also followed her Instagram.
“Not to support what she’s doing. But she’s telling the truth,” she said.
Bella added that Sarah’s revelation could also be used as evidence in court for the divorce trial against Aliff.
“I feel relieved with evidence like this. It can help in the court case,” she said.
On Monday, Sarah’s name became a topic of conversation after she claimed to be Aliff’s girlfriend and they had started to get close since January.
Bella filed for divorce from Aliff a few days after the actor was caught in a close proximity (khalwat) with actress Ruhainies on March 9.
Bella and Aliff got married on September 9, 2016 and have two children, aged seven and four.
This is the second time Bella has filed for divorce. The couple divorced in 2019 after Aliff was accused of infidelity. However, they reconciled in 2020.
At the divorce hearing on April 4, Aliff refused to divorce Bella.
