Wedding of the year? Everything we know about Syed Saddiq and Bella Astillah’s big day

Muar MP Syed Saddiq Abdul Rahman will marry singer-actress Bella Astillah after a year of secretive relationship, starting on October 10 at Merdeka 118.

The couple, nicknamed "BASS," plans multiple receptions in Kuala Lumpur, Johor, and Sabah, with their main ceremony limited to 200 guests.

Their relationship and wedding preparations, highlighted in a documentary, reveal a strong personal bond amid past challenges, underscoring Syed Saddiq's commitment to Bella and her children.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 8 — Muar MP Syed Saddiq Abdul Rahman is officially on the countdown to ending his bachelorhood, with only days remaining before he ties the knot with singer-actress Bella Astillah.

This comes after nearly a year of keeping their relationship under wraps through coy denials and subtle social media posts which culminated in a surprise proposal on top of Mount Kinabalu followed by an engagement on March 28 this year.

As their big day inched closer, more details about their relationship and their wedding have begun to emerge, especially following the premiere of the first episode of the Walimatul Urus Bella Astillah & Syed Saddiq documentary on Tuesday.

The couple has been affectionately dubbed “BASS” by fans, a portmanteau formed from their initials — the “B” and “A” from Bella Astillah, and the “S” and “S” from Syed Saddiq.

The nickname has since become the couple’s unofficial brand, appearing in the title of their documentary and in the hashtags used across their social media updates.

From customised songket and solemnisation on the 118th floor to kursus kahwin (marriage course) at Four Seasons and more — here’s everything we know so far about Bella Astillah and Syed Saddiq’s upcoming wedding.

Multiple receptions and ‘ kenduri rakyat ’

So far, BASS is set to hold four different wedding receptions across Kuala Lumpur, Johor and Sabah throughout the month of October beginning with their main wedding ceremony on October 10 which will take place at the 118th floor of Merdeka 118.

Despite hosting the first ever wedding ceremony at the top of the second tallest building in the world, Syed Saddiq previously said that their focus was not on being lavish which is why the guest list was scaled down to just about 200 guests.

The pair will then hold a special reception dinner on October 18, set to take place at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (Mitec) in KL. Both the wedding ceremony and dinner reception will be broadcast live exclusively on Astro.

This is then followed by another wedding reception at Syed Saddiq’s constituency in Muar on October 25 which he described as a ‘ kenduri rakyat ’ (the people’s feast), where the couple will collaborate with local brands to distribute over RM300,000 worth of daily essentials to families in need.

BASS will then continue the celebrations at Bella’s home state of Sabah where they will hold another ‘ kenduri rakyat ’ on October 31 at Kota Kinabalu.

Although Bella is from Sandakan, the decision to hold it at Kota Kinabalu was mainly due to logistical reasons.

For now, honeymoon plans remain on the back burner.

Their October 10 ceremony lands right on the heels of the Budget 2027 presentation, leaving Syed Saddiq to head back to Parliament just days later for the policy debate stage.

Amongst the highlights from their newly released documentary was indeed the wedding preparations.

For their receptions, Bella ordered custom-made handwoven songket from Terengganu Songket, which was founded by the late national master crafter Hajah Zainab @ Ngah Mamat.

She also brought in Faizul Surani, group CEO of Rizalman Ibrahim Group of Companies, as her fashion advisor.

Faizul said that he visualised something classic that was not too typical and held special meaning for the pair and that Bella was very hands-on when it came to their wedding outfits.

“Bella isn’t clueless when it comes to fashion — she knows exactly what she wants and is very hands-on with her wedding plans.

“There were times when she’d ask for a specific thread, and I’d point out that it didn’t look custom-made enough and felt like something easily available off the rack.

“So, we collaborated by blending my ideas with hers to create something truly unique and distinct,” Faizul said in the documentary.

Meanwhile, Terengganu Songket director, Hajar Ariffin said that she was surprised and honoured after learning that Bella wanted to use their service for their special day and she pointed out that the songket ordered by Bella will come directly from Terengganu.

“My mom just flew back to Terengganu to oversee the whole production due to limited time and also because the order is something that is quite complex, intricate and very detailed, so my mom has to be there.

“Hopefully when people see the pair wearing it, it will inspire the younger generation to continue championing and preserving songket heritage,” she said.

Aside from that, their ‘ kursus kahwin ’ (wedding course), which is mandatory for any Muslim couple, was sponsored by Renaissance KL and Four Points KLCC who also provided them with all-day meals.

In one of the clips from their kursus kahwin, Syed Saddiq, who is a known debater, was also seen debating with the ustaz during one of their classes.

Syed Saddiq’s trials

The documentary also shed light on Syed Saddiq’s appeal proceedings following his November 2023 High Court conviction on charges of criminal breach of trust, misappropriation of property and money laundering.

The former youth and sports minister was cleared of all charges following a June 2025 Court of Appeal acquittal and its final reaffirmation by the Federal Court in July 2026 — both hearings were attended by Bella, who at the time was still tiptoeing around their relationship status.

Syed Saddiq revealed in the documentary that his ongoing court case at the time was the thing that held him back from going all in with Bella as he didn’t want to burden Bella and her family.

Meanwhile, in the ‘ Dugaan Syed Saddiq ’ ( Syed Saddiq’s Trials ) segment, Syed Saddiq’s father, Syed Abdul Rahman said that he was amazed by his youngest son’s composed nature throughout the whole trial.

“Saddiq truly is extraordinary. He kept his cool throughout.

“I was the one who was freaking out but he never showed any signs of nervousness, instead, he was the one who calmed me down,” Syed Abdul Rahman said.

Meanwhile, Bella’s mother, Siti Zarina Astillah shared that Bella would clear up her calendar and cancel her performances and shows so she could attend Syed Saddiq’s court proceedings to show her support.

Although the couple never publicly disclosed their relationship until after their proposal and engagement this year, Syed Saddiq’s mother, Sharifah Mahani Syed Abdul Aziz, said that Syed Saddiq’s final appearance at court in July was the moment she truly accepted Bella into the family.

She said that the tearful hug that she shared with Bella at the time marked the turning point.

Syed Saddiq and Bella Astillah’s relationship

The documentary also offers an intimate look into their bond, forged at a time when both were navigating major life turbulence — Syed Saddiq amid his high-profile legal battles, and Bella following her second divorce from Singaporean singer-actor Aliff Aziz in 2024.

Several of Bella’s close friends and family members were featured in the documentary saying that the mother of two was emotionally broken and Syed Saddiq became her light at the end of the tunnel.

Syed Saddiq’s mother and brother said that since he entered the relationship with Bella, he has become more relaxed and easy-going instead of his usual serious self.

“His romantic side is wonderful, cute and beautiful,” Syed Saddiq’s elder brother Syed Abdullah said.

“Even I, who was watching them as viewers, was smitten (looking at BASS). I always be like aww, this guy is so sweet,” he said.

“Previously, whenever he spoke, it would always be about facts. But he knows how to make jokes now,” Sharifah Mahani said.

The documentary also touches on the pair’s March 28 engagement, particularly Syed Saddiq’s engagement gift trays (hantaran) which came in the form of an engagement ring, an Amanah Saham Nasional Berhad savings account and a Tabung Haji savings account for Bella as well as a couple of National Education Savings Scheme (SSPN) accounts for Bella’s children Ayden Adrean and Ara Adreanna.

Bella said that she initially felt that the hantaran looks like an ‘aid for single mothers’; however, Syed Saddiq defended his decision, saying that the gifts are proof of his long-term commitment to Bella and her children.

“To me, it’s quite straightforward: I want to make sure both children receive the best possible education.

“I also have to remind myself that I’m not just marrying Bella — I’m marrying her two children as well. I wanted to show them that I’m serious and that this is a long-term commitment, not a short-term plan.

“It was my way of binding us together as a family, rather than just linking Bella and me,” he said.

The over 40-minute documentary also showcased more behind the scenes looks at BASS and their relationship including how they introduced themselves to their families.

The next episode of Walimatul Urus Bella Astillah & Syed Saddiq will be the live broadcast of their October 10 wedding ceremony and October 18 dinner reception.

The solemnisation ceremony of Bella Astillah and Syed Saddiq will be broadcast live across Astro Ria (Channel 104), Astro Prima (Channel 105), and Astro Awani (Channel 501), as well as streamed on Sooka and Astro GO.

Coverage will also be available on Astro Malaysia and Astro Gempak’s social media platforms on Saturday, October 10, 2026, beginning at 9am.

麻坡国会议员赛沙迪阿都拉曼将于 10 月 10 日在 Merdeka 118 与歌手兼演员 Bella Astillah 结婚，经过一年的秘密关系。

这对被昵称为“BASS”的新人计划在吉隆坡、柔佛和沙巴举办多场招待会，而他们的主婚礼仪式将限制在200位宾客之内。

一部纪录片着重展现了他们的恋爱关系和婚礼筹备过程，揭示了他们在过去的挑战中建立起的牢固的个人纽带，也突显了赛义德·萨迪克对贝拉和她的孩子们的承诺。

吉隆坡，10 月 8 日讯——麻坡国会议员赛沙迪·阿卜杜勒·拉赫曼正式进入结束单身生活的倒计时，距离他与歌手兼演员贝拉·阿斯蒂拉喜结连理仅剩几天时间。

此前，他们一直对恋情保密近一年，通过含蓄的否认和微妙的社交媒体帖子来掩盖真相，最终在今年 3 月 28 日，男方在京那巴鲁山顶向女方求婚，随后两人订婚。

随着他们的大喜之日越来越近，关于他们的关系和婚礼的更多细节也开始浮出水面，尤其是在周二 Walimatul Urus Bella Astillah & Syed Saddiq 纪录片第一集首播之后。

这对夫妇被粉丝们亲切地称为“BASS”，这个组合词是由他们的首字母组成的——“B”和“A”来自 Bella Astillah，“S”和“S”来自 Syed Saddiq。

这个昵称后来成了这对夫妇的非官方品牌，出现在他们的纪录片标题和社交媒体更新中使用的标签中。

从定制的宋锦和在 118 楼举行的隆重仪式，到四季酒店的结婚课程等等——以下是我们目前所了解的关于 Bella Astillah 和 Syed Saddiq 即将举行的婚礼的一切。

多次招待会和“kenduri rakyat”

截至目前，BASS计划在整个10月份于吉隆坡、柔佛和沙巴举办四场不同的婚礼招待会，主婚礼仪式将于10月10日在默迪卡118大厦118楼举行。

尽管在世界第二高楼的顶端举办了有史以来第一个婚礼仪式，但赛义德·萨迪克此前曾表示，他们的重点不在于奢华，因此宾客名单缩减至大约 200 人。

随后，这对新人将于10月18日在吉隆坡的马来西亚国际贸易展览中心（Mitec）举行特别招待晚宴。婚礼仪式和晚宴都将在Astro电视台进行独家现场直播。

随后，10 月 25 日，赛沙迪将在麻坡选区举行另一场婚宴，他称之为“人民的盛宴”，届时这对新人将与当地品牌合作，向有需要的家庭分发价值超过 30 万令吉的日常必需品。

随后，BASS 将在贝拉的家乡沙巴州继续庆祝活动，他们将于 10 月 31 日在亚庇举行另一场“人民集会”。

虽然贝拉来自山打根，但选择在亚庇举办婚礼主要是出于后勤方面的考虑。

目前，蜜月计划暂时搁置。

他们的 10 月 10 日仪式紧随 2027 年预算案公布之后，几天后，赛义德·萨迪克将返回议会参加政策辩论。

在他们新发布的纪录片中，婚礼筹备过程确实是一大亮点。

为了举办招待会，贝拉向登嘉楼宋锦公司订购了定制的手工编织宋锦，该公司由已故的国家级工艺大师哈贾·扎伊纳布（Hajah Zainab）@ Ngah Mamat 创立。

她还聘请了 Rizalman Ibrahim 集团首席执行官 Faizul Surani 担任她的时尚顾问。

费祖尔表示，他设想的是一种经典但不落俗套、对这对新人有特殊意义的婚礼，贝拉在婚礼服装方面也亲力亲为。

“贝拉对时尚并非一窍不通——她非常清楚自己想要什么，并且对自己的婚礼计划亲力亲为。

“有时候她会要求用某种特定的线，我会指出它看起来不够定制，感觉像是很容易从成衣店买到的东西。

“所以，我们把我的想法和她的想法融合在一起，共同创造出了真正独特而与众不同的东西，”费祖尔在纪录片中说道。

与此同时，登嘉楼宋锦总监哈贾尔·阿里芬表示，得知贝拉想在他们的特殊日子里使用他们的服务后，她感到既惊讶又荣幸。她指出，贝拉订购的宋锦将直接从登嘉楼运送过来。

“由于时间有限，而且订单相当复杂、精细和细致，所以我妈妈刚飞回登嘉楼监督整个生产过程，所以我妈妈必须在那里。”

“希望人们看到他们穿着这件衣服时，能够激励年轻一代继续发扬和保护宋锦文化遗产，”她说。

除此之外，他们的“kursus kahwin”（婚礼课程）是所有穆斯林夫妇都必须参加的，该课程由吉隆坡万丽酒店和吉隆坡城中城福朋酒店赞助，并为他们提供全天膳食。

在他们的一节爱情课程视频片段中，可以看到著名辩手赛义德·萨迪克在课堂上与老师进行辩论。

赛义德·萨迪克的审判

该纪录片还揭露了赛义德·萨迪克在 2023 年 11 月高等法院对其犯有刑事背信罪、挪用财产罪和洗钱罪的判决提出上诉的程序。

这位前青年和体育部长在 2025 年 6 月上诉法院宣判无罪，并在 2026 年 7 月联邦法院最终确认无罪后，所有指控均被撤销——贝拉出席了这两次听证会，当时她仍然对他们的关系状态小心翼翼。

赛义德·萨迪克在纪录片中透露，当时他正在打官司，这让他无法全身心投入与贝拉的感情，因为他不想给贝拉和她的家人带来负担。

与此同时，在“赛义德·萨迪克的审判”环节中，赛义德·萨迪克的父亲赛义德·阿卜杜勒·拉赫曼表示，他对小儿子在整个审判过程中表现出的沉着冷静感到惊讶。

“萨迪克真是个了不起的人。他全程都保持着冷静。”

“当时我吓坏了，但他却丝毫没有表现出紧张，反而是他安抚了我，”赛义德·阿卜杜勒·拉赫曼说道。

与此同时，贝拉的母亲西蒂·扎里娜·阿斯蒂拉透露，贝拉将清空日程，取消演出和表演，以便出席赛义德·萨迪克的庭审，以示支持。

尽管这对情侣直到今年求婚订婚后才公开他们的关系，但赛义德·萨迪克的母亲谢里法·马哈尼·赛义德·阿卜杜勒·阿齐兹表示，赛义德·萨迪克在7月份最后一次出庭的那一刻，她才真正接受贝拉成为家庭的一员。

她说，当时她和贝拉含泪拥抱，这标志着事情的转折点。

赛义德·萨迪克和贝拉·阿斯提拉的关系

这部纪录片还深入展现了他们的情谊，这段情谊是在两人都经历重大人生动荡时期建立起来的——赛义德·萨迪克正处于备受瞩目的法律诉讼之中，而贝拉则在 2024 年与新加坡歌手兼演员阿里夫·阿齐兹第二次离婚之后。

纪录片中采访了贝拉的几位亲朋好友，他们表示这位两个孩子的母亲当时情绪崩溃，而赛义德·萨迪克成为了她走出困境的希望之光。

赛义德·萨迪克的母亲和兄弟表示，自从他与贝拉开始交往以来，他变得更加放松和随和，而不是像以前那样严肃。

“他浪漫的一面非常美好、可爱、迷人，”赛义德·萨迪克的哥哥赛义德·阿卜杜拉说道。

“就连我这个观众都被BASS迷住了。我总是会想，哇，这家伙真可爱，”他说。

“以前他说话总是讲事实，但现在他知道怎么开玩笑了。”莎丽法·马哈尼说道。

该纪录片还谈到了这对夫妇 3 月 28 日的订婚，特别是 Syed Saddiq 的订婚礼物（hantaran），其中包括一枚订婚戒指、一个 Amanah Saham Nasional Berhad 储蓄账户和一个 Tabung Haji 储蓄账户（给 Bella），以及几个国家教育储蓄计划 (SSPN) 账户（给 Bella 的两个孩子 Ayden Adrean 和 Ara Adreanna）。

贝拉表示，她最初觉得这份礼物看起来像是“对单身母亲的援助”；然而，赛义德·萨迪克为自己的决定辩护说，这些礼物证明了他对贝拉和她的孩子们的长期承诺。

“对我来说，这很简单：我希望确保两个孩子都能接受最好的教育。

“我还要提醒自己，我不仅仅是娶了贝拉，我也是娶了她的两个孩子。我想向他们表明我是认真的，这是一项长期的承诺，而不是短期的计划。”

他说：“这是我把我们一家人联系在一起的方式，而不仅仅是把贝拉和我联系起来。”

这部时长超过 40 分钟的纪录片还展示了 BASS 及其成员关系的更多幕后故事，包括他们如何向家人介绍自己。

Walimatul Urus Bella Astillah & Syed Saddiq 的下一期节目将现场直播他们 10 月 10 日的婚礼仪式和 10 月 18 日的晚宴招待会。

Bella Astillah 和 Syed Saddiq 的婚礼仪式将在 Astro Ria（104 频道）、Astro Prima（105 频道）和 Astro Awani（501 频道）进行现场直播，并在 Sooka 和 Astro GO 上进行流媒体播放。

2026年10月10日星期六上午9点起，Astro Malaysia和Astro Gempak的社交媒体平台也将提供相关报道。
