#SHOWBIZ: Syed Saddiq, Bella Astillah delay honeymoon due to packed work schedules

Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman and his bride-to-be, singer-actress Bella Astillah, have postponed their honeymoon due to demanding work schedules. The couple joked about the situation during a press conference for their upcoming wedding, with Syed Saddiq playfully suggesting they honeymoon in Parliament after getting married.

However, he clarified that their professional commitments prevent them from taking a traditional honeymoon. Both Syed Saddiq and Bella are tied down with demanding work duties, as Parliament resumes this week and runs until early December, leaving little room for a getaway. Syed Saddiq emphasized that his future wife is extremely understanding about the nature of his job and expressed his lucky position to have her by his side.

He also highlighted his 100% attendance record in Parliament, stating that neglecting his duties is not an option. Bella, described as a tireless workaholic, is set to perform at an overseas concert, take on stage gigs, and shoot brand ambassador campaigns following their wedding. While he would love to accompany her, he stressed that official parliamentary duties must take precedence.

Despite their busy calendars, the politician stressed that prioritizing their children, Ayden and Ara, remains paramount. Syed Saddiq views managing their careers and family life as a valuable learning experience, pledging to work out their schedules step by step as a new family. The couple will be married on Saturday in a private solemnisation ceremony at Menara Merdeka 118, followed by public celebrations at two Kenduri Rakyat wedding receptions in Muar, Johor, on October 25, and Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, on October 31.
