They say April showers bring May flowers, but we’re getting some unfortunate news from the Malaysian entertainment industry just as May comes along. Despite the slew of recent baby news, there are a handful of celebrities who recently called it quits with their partners, or at least tried to.
Recently, actor Edika Yusof and singer Mas Idayu found themselves on local news sites following reports of their divorce from their respective partners. Meanwhile, singer Nora Ariffin is facing marital problems and wants to split from her husband as soon as possible. Here’s more about the stars and their recent relationship statuses:
Edika Yusof & Nor Hidayah Yusri
After 22 years of marriage, actor Edika Yusof and his now-former wife, Nor Hidayah Yusri, have officially divorced. The pair called it quits on 5th May 2025 (Monday), with Hidayah alleging the reason for the split was because Edika was abusive during their marriage. The actor denied the claims but said he agreed to divorce his wife as they have been having marital problems for years. The two tied the knot on 16th January 2004 and have two children together.
Mas Idayu & Muhamad Sufian Che Isa
After much speculation, singer Mas Idayu confirmed that she and her husband, TV3 executive producer Muhamad Sufian Che Isa, have officially called it quits. Rumours of the two ending their 3-year marriage came about last week, but the pair confirmed the news on 5th May 2025. Even more shocking, the two divorced back in March 2025. Sufian said the couple ended things on good terms and remained good friends. Mas Idayu and Sufian tied the knot in 2022.
BONUS: Datuk Nora Ariffin & Dr Rushdi Ramli
While singer Datuk Nora Ariffin is trying to divorce her husband, Dr Rushdi Ramli, it seems the latter isn’t letting the marriage end yet. The couple appeared at the Syariah court on 6th May 2025 (Tuesday) to settle the divorce, but Rushdi wouldn’t divorce his wife. The couple will appear in court next month for the next divorce hearing. The couple tied the knot in 2021, with Nora being Rushdi’s second wife as he’s still married to his first wife.
