Earlier this year, singer Hafiz Suip revealed he had divorced his wife, Nureffy Jasreel Abdullah, after nearly 10 years of marriage. While the star never detailed the split, he recently hinted that his anger problems had a role in causing it.
Earlier this week, the singer shared a cryptic post on Instagram, hinting at something on 11th January 2026, which many fans believe is a new concert. While Hafiz hasn’t announced what is happening on the mentioned date, he has uploaded a series of interviews titled “Di Sebalik Hafiz (Behind Hafiz)” to count down to the announcement. The interview included questions about his personal life and his views on topics like love and family.
In the second episode of the interview series, the singer talked about his biggest regret. Tearing up, Hafiz said that his biggest regret was rage, revealing that his uncontrollable anger is one of the reasons for his recent personal issues. He continued, “Rage is not the solution to your problems. You have to control that”, hinting that he has previously let his anger overcome his emotions, which may have led to his marriage failing.
Hafiz and Nureffy tied the knot in 2016, but announced their decision to split in January 2025. The pair said the reason for the divorce was irreconcilable differences, but denied rumours of a third person. After his divorce, the 35-year-old moved back to his hometown of Kuching, while his ex-wife gained full custody of their two children. In the same video, Hafiz revealed his current relationship with his children.
The singer couldn’t hide his sadness when mentioning his kids, revealing that he rarely communicates with them now that they live separately. While Hafiz admits to missing his children, he also hinted that he feels guilty about contacting them given their strained relationship. The star also acknowledged that his ex-wife is better suited to take care of the children, likely due to his anger issues.
Fans have since extended support for the singer, hoping he’ll get out of his current slump. Some also expressed anticipation for his announcement, saying they look forward to seeing Hafiz back on stage. We also wish all the best for Hafiz, and we can’t wait to see him bounce back to the star he once was.
