Aliff Aziz: As long as they're loved, it's good enough for me!
29 Jul - Aliff Aziz is not at all jealous of the relationship developing between his ex-wife Bella Astillah and Muar MP Syed Saddiq, saying that he is just happy to see his two kids being beloved by many. Speaking to the Singaporean media recently, the singer-actor said he is just happy that his son Ayden and daughter Ara are being taken care of by the people who love them. "That's the first thing that comes to my mind. Whoever the people that are close to them, as long as they love them and take good care of them, that's good enough for me," said Aliff. Aliff admitted it was hard for him to watch videos of his kids because it would make him sad. "I miss them so much. I pray every day to see them again and tell them what I have been keeping inside me. I think about you always and I miss you two so much," he added. The singer also said that he hopes that they will one day be reunited and that he can finally express everything that he has kept inside. Aliff, who ended his marriage with Bella in June last year, gave full custody of Ayden and Ara to the actress-singer. (Photo Source: Aliff Aziz IG, Bella Astillah IG)

'Real Housewives' star Kim Zolciak rebuilds life as estranged husband takes surprising career turn
"Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kim Zolciak and her estranged husband, Kroy Biermann, have been going through a messy divorce since 2023, but they are moving on in their personal lives. In May, Biermann – a former Atlanta Falcons football player – filed for divorce from the reality star after nearly 12 years of marriage. Zolciak countered with her own divorce petition filed hours after his, but the couple briefly reconciled until he refiled in August of that same year. Biermann was seeking sole legal and physical custody of their four children: Kroy, Kash, and twins Kaia and Kane. Biermann adopted Zolciak's adult daughters from a previous relationship, Brielle and Ariana Zolciak-Biermann. The couple married in grand fashion with a spin-off show highlighting their November 2011 nuptials. They then received their own family-focused program based on their rowdy antics, "Don't Be Tardy." Over the last two years, the couple's divorce proceedings have turned messy. There have been accusations of drug use, unfit parenting and financial issues. In June, Zolciak's daughter said she would "pray literally every night" for her parents to get back together. "I think at this point though, unfortunately, there is too much damage to be done," Ariana Biermann said on Gia Guidice's podcast, "Casual Chaos." Ariana mentioned at some point "we're all gonna have to go to court and give our testimonies and witness statements and everything. And it's just the most insane thing ever." She admitted that her parents' divorce has made her become closer to her mom and older sister, Brielle. "This whole situation of everything brought me and my mom and my sister closer. And we're kind of like the three best friends, which I'm really grateful for," Ariana said. Now, it appears that Kim and Kroy are making moves in their personal lives two years after initially filing to end their union. Biermann has ditched the professional athlete life to take on a career in sales. The Superior Rigging and Erecting Co. in Atlanta lists Biermann as an employee in crane and rigging sales. TMZ reported that Biermann has been working for the company since 2024, but he has been moving up the ranks since he got his foot in the door. Zolciak took to Instagram this week to share a collage of images from the past few months. She explained that she moved into a new home and announced that two of her television shows premiered: "Got To Get Out" and "Plastic Surgery Rewind." "My twins graduated 5th grade!! Can't believe I'll have 3 in Middle School and Kj in High School. "I spent time with friends. I spent time with my family. I'm forever grateful for each and every single day. So many exciting things happening and I can't wait to share with you," she captioned her post. "I spent time with friends. I spent time with my family. I'm forever grateful for each and every single day. So many exciting things happening and I can't wait to share with you." To celebrate her 47th birthday in May, Zolciak shared a series of bikini photos on Instagram and explained that she "feels the best" she has in years. "I want to say thank you for so much for all the birthday wishes and love I received yesterday. "I'm forever grateful and blessed to have so many amazing humans in my life. 2025 has been incredible already. I can't believe I'm 47! Funny how old that seemed when I was 27! I feel the best I have in years and honestly, I had no idea what peace was until this past year," she captioned her post at the time. Zolciak appears to have also rekindled her relationship with her parents post-separation from Biermann. On July 21, Kim's daughter, Brielle, posted a picture to her Instagram story with her mom and her grandparents, Karen and Joe. "Nana & poppy!!!!!!!!!" Brielle captioned the photo along with a heart emoji. "Been WAY too long!" In 2017, Zolciak explained why she hadn't spoken to her parents in years. "I have not seen my parents in over six years. "They recently just sold another 'story' to a tabloid, which is one of the reasons why I stopped communicating with them in the first place. I learned some people never change," she said on "The Daily Dish" at the time. During the interview, she explained that she never discouraged her oldest daughters from having a relationship with her grandparents. "I will never discourage Brielle or Ariana or any of them to not have a relationship with their grandparents or whoever they choose to have a relationship with," she said at the time.

Mum's horror as man 'abducts screaming son from outside home and then calls her'
A British mum has been left heartbroken after her son was abducted from outside her home, by a man thought to be his father, an urgent press conference in Bali has heard. Lawyers acting on behalf of Kathryn Dench, 41, say that her six-year-old son, who can only be named by his initials SEB for legal reasons, was snatched on April 21. He was reportedly taken by a white man, believed to be his 45-year-old father, and an Indonesian man who helped him, reporters were told during a conference on Saturday, July 19. The child was seen screaming as he was put into a car and driven away, Kathryn said during the conference. READ MORE: Dad loses leg and dies after being 'needlessly sent back and forth between two hospitals' Her ex then contacted her the following day to let her know he had their child, whom Kathryn has full custody of, it is further alleged at the Indonesian-based briefing. And in the weeks since, lawyers say the devastated mother has only had six calls with her son and does not know where he is. During the conference, she pleaded to her son: "He is being so incredibly brave, and I want him to know that we are fighting every day so that he will be able to come home." Speaking of the ordeal, she said: "The whole experience has been devastating – there is no other way to describe it. "The initial shock of my son being taken, and not even knowing who took him until the next day, was terrifying. "After that, although I was initially allowed a few video calls with him, our communication was heavily monitored and controlled, so we were not able to speak freely. "Seeing my child tense and withdrawn, and not being able to comfort him or hear how he is feeling, was heartbreaking. "Now, we are no longer permitted any kind of contact, and are completely in the hands of the legal system with no idea when this will be resolved." Kathryn and her son's father, who is from Solihull in Birmingham, split up when their son was around one year old. Police in Indonesia are now working to try and find Kathryn's son. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Denpasar City Police, quoting LP/B/299/IV/2025/SPKT/Polresta Denpasar/Polda. "I fully respect the legal system here in Indonesia, which has full jurisdiction over this case," she said. "The hardest part is not being able to comfort my son or even tell him how hard we are fighting for him right now. I hope that there are no more delays before the authorities take the appropriate action." Kathryn, who was born in London and grew up in Ipswich, reported the situation to the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) in London and the British Embassy in Indonesia within 24 hours. She said: "Their role is limited in cases like this because they cannot intervene in another country's legal process. "In Indonesia, the law is clear that anyone who removes a child from the care of their legal custodian, without permission, is breaking the law. "But in reality, cases of parental abduction like this are often not treated seriously or enforced quickly enough. "A group of five mothers worked hard to get this clarified by the Constitutional Court – but even with that progress, many of us are still told that our best chance of seeing our children again is to drop the charges and agree to whatever the abductor wants. "A lack of enforcement of the law in these cases continues to put other children at risk, as potential perpetrators feel they will be immune from any legal consequences." A spokesperson for the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) said: "We are providing consular assistance to a British national in Bali and are in contact with the local authorities."
