(Video) Netizens React To Syed Saddiq's Romantic Gestures Towards Bella Astillah
Although neither has confirmed the relationship, it now seems evident that actress and singer Bella Astillah and politician Syed Saddiq are romantically involved. The pair have been seen together at several public events and has also been spotted spending time with one another in their personal time.
If the signs weren't already clear enough, the young Member of Parliament recently made a notably romantic gesture towards the mother-of-two, and may have even let slip a term of endearment in public. Here's what happened:
Earlier this week, Bella Astillah and Syed Saddiq were seen walking together towards a car, where the politician opened the door for her to get into the driver's seat before taking his place on the passenger side. If you're wondering why the 32-year-old didn't drive himself, it's likely because he is still recovering from LASIK surgery.
The heartwarming moment was captured and uploaded by user @/kiranasuedelisya on TikTok and quickly went viral. Netizens were charmed by the political figure's romantic gesture of opening the car door for his rumoured partner, with the uploader of the viral post commenting: 'Sweet as always.'
That wasn't the only moment that caught the attention of netizens. During their recent public appearance at the Pesta Buka Antarabangsa Kuala Lumpur 2025, the Member of Parliament was heard calling Bella Astillah 'Sayang' as he asked her to pose for a photo with him.
This, as expected, has prompted many to suggest there's no longer any need for the pair to keep their relationship under wraps, as seen in the comments online. Still, despite their public appearances and even apparent blessings from their respective families, Bella and Syed Saddiq continue to keep their relationship private.
Who knows – perhaps we'll soon hear news of a surprise engagement or wedding announcement. Do you think they make a good match?

‘Like a robot': Syed Saddiq laughs off Kaamatan dance struggle with Bella Astillah (VIDEO)
KUALA LUMPUR, May 31 — Muar MP Syed Saddiq Abdul Rahman had social media in stitches after a video of him dancing with singer-actress Bella Astillah during the Kaamatan Festival made the rounds online. Clad in traditional Sabahan attire, Syed Saddiq gamely attempted local dance steps in a clip shared on social media. But it was his stiff, robotic moves that stole the spotlight — and sparked light-hearted teasing from netizens, including the MP himself. 'Not sure whether to laugh or cry watching the video again. I think I'll just stick to Parliament,' he wrote on platform X. According to him, filming took hours as he struggled to loosen up. 'From afternoon till night. Had to keep reshooting because I was so stiff — like a robot. 'Thankfully, Bella was there. That helped ease the awkwardness,' he said. Syed Saddiq also took the opportunity to send festive greetings: 'This is Malaysia. Happy Kaamatan and Gawai to all.' Sabahans celebrated the Kaamatan Festival on May 30 and 31, while Sarawakians observe Gawai Day on June 1 and 2. Bella later shared on Instagram that the dance was a first for both of them. 'Our first dance collab! Not perfect, but definitely a lot of fun. What a transition – from daylight to night. 'Thank you, Syed Saddiq. I truly appreciate your courage and willingness to try something new. That's what made it special,' she said.

Alif Zafran wins KJH cosplay contest with homemade Satria suit
PIC BY NSTP/RAIHANA MANSOR KUALA LUMPUR: Eleven-year-old Alif Zafran Zairif stole the spotlight at the Ejen Ali cosplay competition during Karnival Jom Heboh at KL Base today, wearing a striking homemade replica of the animated hero's Satria suit. The Satria suit, short for System Advance Tactical Raid Intelligence Armor, is a signature upgrade from the animated series, characterised by its high-tech design, glowing blue LED lights, visor helmet, and reinforced combat-ready body plating. Alif's father, Zairif Affizal, 38, was the creative force behind the costume, completing the project in just two weeks after learning about the competition. "I only found out about the Ejen Ali cosplay contest two weeks ago, so I worked on it day and night," said Zairif, who used images and videos from Facebook and TikTok for reference. "This was my second time making a costume, and I wanted to go all out for my son." Rather than ordering a custom made suit which can cost up to RM1,000, Zairif built the ensemble from scratch himself for under RM300, using mainly EVA foam and recycled materials. He said the most challenging part was crafting the helmet. "To get it right, you really need skill. Without the proper technique, it ends up looking odd. "It took some trial and error to get the shape, proportions and finish just right." Alif took home RM500 and some goodies, followed by the runner-up and third place both cosplaying as Ejen Alicia winning RM400 and RM300. Judging the competition was Ejen Rizwan voice actor Azman Zulkiply, who praised the high level of creativity shown by all participants, especially the support shown by parents. "If I could, I'd make everyone the winner. "Every contestant had their own unique effort, and you could see how happy the kids were on stage," he told reporters. He admitted it was a tough decision but ultimately named Alif as his personal favourite. "I really liked Alicia, the last contestant with the action scene, very cool with the cut-outs and all. "But if I had to choose one, I'd go with the Satria suit. The glowing blue eyes and lights were next-level. You could see the effort." Azman also praised the Ejen Ali franchise for instilling positive values in children. "The series promotes friendship, loyalty and other strong values. "It's wonderful to see parents supporting their kids through local content like this. "It shows how much fun and pride there is in celebrating something made in Malaysia." The day's activities kicked off at 9am with Zumba with Ejen Ali, followed by a colouring contest at the mini stage at Studio Tonton Drama Sangat and the cosplay competition at 11am. Yesterday, Fans of Ejen Ali: The Movie 2 flocked to a special meet-and-greet session at Karnival Jom Heboh 2025 to catch a glimpse of the voice actors and mascots of the popular animation. Shafiq Isa and Noorhayati Maslini Omar, who voice Ejen Bakar and Ejen Alicia, charmed the crowd with an interactive session and prize giveaways.

PETALING JAYA: Local celebrity Bella Astillah and Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman wowed social media with their captivating rendition of traditional ethnic dances to celebrate the harvest festivals of Sabah and Sarawak. Bella, whose full name is Dayang Ara Nabella Awang Astillah, posted the TikTok video of her and Syed Saddiq performing while dressed in traditional costumes, complete with headgear and accessories. 'My first dance with YB (Syed Saddiq) was not perfect, but it was perfectly fun. 'I am grateful for your courage and willingness to try something new. That's what made it special,' she wrote in the post. She also wished everyone a meaningful and happy Kaamatan Festival and Gawai Day celebration. While many social media users commended them for their efforts, some teased Syed Saddiq for his dance moves, and some also advised him not to quit his day job as a politician. Online portal Majoriti also quoted Syed Saddiq as labelling himself a 'robot' for his dance moves. 'From day to night, we had many retakes as I was awkward/robotic. Luckily, I had Bella by my side to make things less awkward. 'I don't know whether to laugh or cry when I rewatch the video, but it's okay, I will just focus on parliamentary work,' he said. Sabahans celebrated the Kaamatan Festival on May 30 and 31, while Sarawakians observe Gawai Day on June 1 and 2.
