KUALA LUMPUR: Singer Kayda Aziz has revealed that her fiancé's exceptional character and caring nature were key factors in her decision to choose him as her future husband.
The 34-year-old artiste, whose real name is Wan Nur Khaleda Roslan, explained that her relationship with Muhammad Syafiq Othman, 35, which began in 2023, started casually.
"I met him through friends. Many of them have known Muhammad Syafiq for a long time, but we had never crossed paths.
"So, when we finally met, I was surprised by how many people spoke so highly of him.
"It was only after getting to know him better that I understood why. He's a genuinely lovely person," she told BH Online.
The daughter of renowned singer Datuk Sheila Majid also believes that finding a kind-hearted man is a rare feat in today's world.
"It's very unusual to find a truly kind and generous man nowadays. He's hardworking, responsible, and very trustworthy. I've also witnessed how dedicated and supportive he is towards his family," she said.
"Honestly, that's what truly captivated me. My grandmother always said that when you're looking for a partner, you must find a good person.
"He is exactly the person I've been searching for all this time. I prioritise a person's character, then their work ethic.
"Looks aren't a priority, but for me, he's still handsome," she quipped playfully.
When asked about her wedding plans, Kayda said that no date has been set yet, as there are still many arrangements to finalise.
"God willing, perhaps next year. I still need to attend a marriage course, submit documents, book a mosque, await confirmation from the imam or tok kadi, and handle many other things," she said.
Kayda added: "Next year, maybe early in the year before Aidilfitri or possibly after. It all depends on God's will."
Commenting on the challenges of marriage preparations, Kayda shared that she's feeling positive, thanks to the unwavering support from her family and friends.
"My family is incredibly supportive, but I am a little apprehensive because I've heard stories from friends about the complexities of getting married.
"However, with my family's backing, I'm confident that everything will be made easier," she said.
Yesterday, it was reported that Sheila expressed her delight by sharing a social media post showing her eldest daughter, Kayda, engaged to her chosen partner, Syafiq.
The Instagram entry featured Kayda in an elegant pink traditional dress, accompanied by Sheila's words of gratitude and prayers for a smooth event.
