It appears that Malaysian actor Ben Amir is off the market! After sharing news of his girlfriend Maiya’s conversion to Islam last November, the star now drops a hint that the two have officially tied the knot.
On 14th January 2026 (Wednesday), the actor shared a post on Instagram with picturesque photos depicting Ben and his partner, Maiya, donning matching white traditional Malay ensembles by designer Zaimi Zulkalfi. Despite a lack of other details, the colour of the couple’s attire appears to be a hint that the two have gotten married.
While neither Ben nor Maiya have confirmed the marriage news, many fans and fellow celebrities have extended their congratulations to the happy couple. Amongst those who share congratulatory messages are actresses Mira Filzah and Mimi Lana, who was his co-star in the 2020 drama “Chandelier”, and singer Nabila Razali.
In November 2025, Ben shared the news that Maiya had converted to Islam, hinting that the two had plans for marriage. After her conversion, the Philippine native would adopt the name Liana Alara as her Muslim name. The news comes after Ben’s move to Siargao Island in the Philippines, where the actor is currently building his F&B business.
Although Ben is currently based in the Philippines, he’s still active in the Malaysian entertainment industry. He’s set to appear in TV3’s upcoming primetime drama, “Khianat Yang Terpilih”, alongside Puteri Aishah and Amyra Rosli. The drama will premiere on 16th February 2026 (Monday).
We extend our congratulations to Ben and Maiya on their marriage. May they find happiness together and may their love last a lifetime.
