#SHOWBIZ: Famous French painter is Sharifah Sakinah's new husband?
KUALA LUMPUR: Actress Sharifah Sakinah's 36th birthday celebration included a special wish in French.
In an Instagram Story, French painter and graffiti artist Cyril Kongo shared a message that simply read: "Joyeux anniversaire sayang."
While the French words might be unfamiliar to some, the final word of the greeting quickly resonated with Malaysians, allowing them to connect the dots.
Kongo, who was born in Toulouse to a Vietnamese father and French mother, also included several pictures of himself with Sharifah Sakinah alongside the birthday greetings.
Earlier, the actress, whose full name is Sharifah Nurul Sakinah Syed Abu Bakar Al-Khaired, had confirmed her third marriage but chose not to reveal the identity of her new husband.
This has led to speculation: could this Vietnamese-French painter be the man in question?
