Bella Astillah gives birth to baby girl without husband being present

Kuala Lumpur — Malaysian celebrity Bella Astillah gave birth to a baby girl on Saturday (July 18). Her husband, singer Aliff Aziz, could not be with her because he is in his home country of Singapore and the border is closed as a result of Covid-19 circuit breaker measures.

Just days before the birth, Bella, 26, had shared that even though the family members had not seen each other for months, Aliff, 29, had not shirked his responsibilities. Sharing with BH Online, Bella said that her husband often reached out to her and their three-year-old son Ayden Adrean to say “hi”. Bella said she also had her parents and siblings around so she would not be lonely although she had to go through pregnancy and childbirth process without Aliff by her side.

She added that she would just remain calm and patient with everything that happened during delivery.

She also said that she had never complained about the government’s decision for the border gate to remain closed. “I will just follow suit in any case, if the border gate reopens, I’ll be happy with that. I believe the government’s ruling was done for the better, so there’s no need for me to be salty about it.”

Bella said that, despite the distance, the couple remained in contact. “Even though we are living far apart, that doesn’t mean that Aliff neglects his role as the head of the family. We communicate everyday through voice and video calls. He has been taking good care of me as well as the baby,” she emphasised.

In other news, the Sabahan beauty recently exposed the identity of a keyboard warrior who left insults about the shape of her pregnant body on her Instagram Story. The Instagram user had commented on one of her social media updates: “You’re fat like a pig. Hahahahaha.”

However, instead of lashing back, Bella responded with grace “Alhamdulillah (Praise be to God)”, along with a screenshot of the troll’s comment online. /TISG
