Along Cham announces his divorce from wife of 10 months
6 Feb - Along Cham has indirectly confirmed that he is now divorced via his new status on social media.
On 4 February, the comedian posted a message on Instagram Story, saying, "Praise be to God. Shariah Court matters are done."
He also added the hashtag "Arbaie is Single Again", in reference to his character from the 2000 TV drama directed by Mamat Khalid.
Along, real name Muhammad Nazimudin Ahmad, surprised many recently when he filed for taklik against wife Afreena Suhaimi a day after he was released from jail on bail following a drug arrest.
He claimed that Afreena has gone against three taklik conditions that were agreed upon earlier, including "disobeying her husband". Along also stated that he actually was supposed to file the taklik in December last year, but was arrested for allegedly possessing drugs two days prior to his court appearance.
Along tied the knot with Afreena back in April last year, eight years after his divorce from singer Zila Seeron.
Taklik is a type of conditional divorce in Islamic law that allows a spouse to apply for divorce if the other party breaks a condition set out in their marriage agreement.

Politician Jeremy Corbyn, Gavin and Stacey Legend Larry Lamb, Islamic scholar Shaykh Hamza Yusuf and TV presenter Katie Piper will also be in the city for events during the ten day literary event which runs from June 27 to July 6. The event will take place at venues throughout Bradford city centre, and this year's festival will be the first since swathes of the centre were transformed by new pedestrian areas and green space. This year's programme builds on record-breaking momentum from 2024, when over 155,000 attendees from 24 countries took part in 699 events, a 34 per cent rise in attendance from the previous year. This year's festival will be particularly special – falling right in the middle of Bradford's year as City of Culture. Headliners for 2025 include: • John Cooper Clarke, the legendary punk poet, who will reflect on his extraordinary life before delivering a blistering live reading of his most iconic work. • Grace Dent, in conversation with Nisha Katona, launching the Big Tasty Read, a national celebration of food, literature and community. • Shaykh Hamza Yusuf, one of the world's leading Islamic scholars, appearing in a landmark event exploring compassion and sacred history. • Katie Piper, who shares her empowering new book on ageing, resilience, and redefining life's milestones. • Mishal Husain, BBC broadcaster and journalist, who will discuss her powerful new memoir Broken Threads, tracing her family's journey through empire, independence, and identity across India, Pakistan, and Britain. Other guests during the festival include broadcaster Steph McGovern, journalist and activist Ash Sarkar, politician Jeremy Corbyn, actor Larry Lamb, comedian Jessica Fostekew, poet, academic and musician Anthony Joseph, and comedian, actor and writer, Robin Ince. The crowd at Bradford Literature Festival (Image: Bradford Literature Festival) Issues being discussed at the festival include Gaza 2040: Imagining the Future, Freedom of Expression: Who Gets to Speak?, Islamophobia Now, and The Great Unravelling: Democracy & Development in the Age of Populism.

Beyond the talks and panels there will be numerous events open to the public, from exhibitions and comedy nights to heritage walking tours and live performances and film screenings. These include four free family fun days in City Park, superhero storytelling and manga drawing workshops, behind-the-scenes TV writing masterclasses and a screening of David Attenborough's Ocean with a talk from co-creator Colin Butfield. This year's festival will also feature a selection of book launches, including Liz Mistry's Deadly Reckoning, the latest instalment in the Solanki and McQueen crime series, and Pauline Brown's Diego's Team, a tale of kindness, courage and alpacas. Founder and Artistic Director Syima Aslam said: 'Bradford Literature Festival was founded on the belief that culture is not a luxury—it's a necessity. 'At a moment rich with possibility for reimagining how we live, learn, and listen to one another, we remain committed to offering space for reflection, dialogue, and creativity. 'This year's programme is our most ambitious yet: a bold, joyful, and deeply thoughtful celebration of ideas, imagination, and identity. 'BLF continues to be shaped by the communities we serve—international in scope, proudly rooted in Bradford, and grounded in the principle that everyone deserves access to culture, no matter who they are or where they come from. This year, we are also especially proud to celebrate Bradford's designation as the UK City of Culture 2025—an accolade that reflects the vibrant cultural landscape and creative energy the festival has helped to nurture and shape over the years.' Over the past 11 years, BLF has hosted 3,484 events, welcomed 3,544 artists, and reached nearly 710,000 people. For more information on this year's event and to book tickets, visit

Justin Bieber Shares New Glimpses of 9-Month-Old Son Jack Blues: ‘Gonna Be a Good Summer'
Justin Bieber is giving fans a small insight into his life as a dad, posting new photos that feature his 9-month-old son Jack Blues. The 'What Do You Mean?' singer, 31, uploaded a carousel of photos via Instagram on Thursday, May 29 which showed glimpses of his son. In one photo, Justin posed in front of a golf cart as he held on to Jack, who was perched upon his shoulders. Another photo featured a shirtless Justin sitting on a couch looking intently at a child that appeared to be Jack. The child's face was not visible in either photo. Several other photos showed Justin engaged in various activities such as exploring the woods, hanging out with friends, texting on his phone, smoking on a couch and lying on asphalt in the sun. He captioned the post, 'Gonna be a good summer 🫶🏼' Justin Bieber Gives Son Jack a Sweet Kiss in Black-and-White Photo Justin and his wife Hailey Bieber, 28, welcomed their son in August 2024. Announcing the happy arrival at the time, Justin wrote 'WELCOME HOME' alongside a photo showing their son's foot wrapped in a blanket via Instagram. Earlier this month, Hailey shared a different photo of their baby to celebrate Jack hitting the nine-month milestone. 'My sweet baby is 9 months old today 🤧😿,' Hailey captioned an Instagram Story photo on May 23 of Jack sitting down and playing with a toy. While Justin and Hailey, who tied the knot in 2018 after two years of dating, have shared snippets of their lives after first-time parents since Jack's birth, neither has shown the child's face in any images posted. The post comes after a source told Us Weekly on May 20 that Justin has been focusing on the people and projects in his life that matter the most to him — especially Hailey and Jack. Justin Bieber Lounges With Son Jack Blues in Sweet New Pic 'Hailey tries to be there for him as much as she can,' a source close to the Biebers exclusively shared with Us. 'She is very patient and accommodating and helps him a lot. She is the most supportive wife, and he feels grateful to have her. They have been through a lot, but have been in a good place these last few months.' The source also told Us that while fatherhood was 'an adjustment' for Justin, the new role has also led to some encouraging changes amid continual drama making headlines. 'When his son was born, everyone was hoping that would be a positive influence for him,' a second insider explained to Us. 'It's what's made him really want to heal and reflect on everything.'
