(ANN/THE STAR) – Malaysian entrepreneur Datuk Seri Adnan Abu has announced he will remarry his ex-wife, singer Adira Suhaimi, next year.
Speaking to mStar, The Star’s Malay-language news portal, Adnan, known as Datuk Red, confirmed he has already discussed their marriage plans with Adira’s family and set a wedding date.
“Yes! Adira and I are getting back together. After Hari Raya Aidilfitri next year, Insya-Allah we will move forward to the next step,” said the 46-year-old.
Adnan shared that Adira decided to give him a second chance after witnessing his efforts to change during the iddah period.
He added that his relationship with Adira became “apparent” when the singer cried while performing Yuna Yunita’s Tutur Batin, which talks about self-acceptance.
“She says she is giving me another chance after seeing how much I’ve changed, but we won’t rush things.
“She loves me. My business is also improving now,” said the entrepreneur, who previously declared bankruptcy in 2019.
In a separate interview with mStar, Adira confirmed her plans to remarry Adnan.
The Milik Kita singer said apart from seeing her ex-husband’s efforts, their kids also influenced their decision to remarry.
“I want to let him chase his dreams and fix what should’ve been fixed before.
“Getting back together is in the plans and we don’t want to hide this happy news. I won’t ask for more, just follow the flow,” the 32-year-old added.
Adnan and Adira, who have four children together, divorced with a single talak on April 24. The pair tied the knot in Thailand on Dec 3, 2015.
