#SHOWBIZ: Muaz Zabir: My mother gets along great with Bella Astillah
KUALA LUMPUR: Actor Muaz Zabir has dismissed claims that his mother did not approve of his friendship with Bella Astillah due to the singer's status as a single mother.
Muaz or Muaz Mohamad Zabir, 28, said in a news report yesterday that netizens should stop making baseless accusations against his loved ones.
"The relationship between my family and Bella's is good, and my mother gets along great with Bella.
"In fact my mother is the easiest person to talk to. Bella and my mother are okay, they have even had meals together," he told Oh Bulan.
The Keluarga Itu actor said that he still maintained a good relationship with Bella despite their previous controversy.
"We are still friends and have no problem working with each other. Even during the Hari Raya holidays, I went to Bella's house and met her family."
"There was no intention to make a video (of himself with Bella's kids) viral and the post was also done by someone else.
Previously, a video featuring the actor with Bella's two children during a Raya open house went viral.
On another note, Muaz admitted that he likes to entertain children because they bring "joy to his life".
"I receive many messages from single mothers. They have praised me for this.
According to Muaz, his love for children was inculcated since childhood, especially since his mother used to babysit her family friends' children and grandchildren.

Syed Saddiq added that he couldn't always appear alongside the 31-year-old actress, whose full name is Dayang Nabellah Awang Astillah, as she has responsibilities of her own.

He told his supporters that he will not forget Bella's kindness. "She is an extraordinary woman. Whatever hardship I've faced is nothing compared to what she has gone through,' he added On Wednesday morning, Bella was seen arriving at the Court of Appeal in Putrajaya to show support as Syed Saddiq awaited a ruling on his appeal.

Bella, 31, who has consistently supported Syed Saddiq, also hailed the young politician as a hero and an individual who perseveres despite being burdened by court cases. "Praise be to God, congratulations Syed Saddiq. Big day for the good guy. Not all heroes wear a cape; some wear suits and do not give up," she posted on Instagram Threads. "Justice is upheld," she wrote. Bella wasn't alone in her support for the politician; the comments section was flooded with positive messages. "Praise be to God, thank you. It's the 'next chapter' (the next phase), Bella," one netizen quipped. Another fan commented, "Behind a successful man, there is a woman who always supports him." Yesterday, the Court of Appeal acquitted Syed Saddiq of his conviction, overturning his seven-year jail sentence and two strokes of the cane for criminal breach of trust, misuse of property, and money laundering involving Armada funds. Bella, dressed in a blue baju kurung, was visibly emotional, seen crying and embracing Syed Saddiq's family members shortly after leaving the courtroom. Her presence in court and the emotional moment further fuelled rumours that she and Syed Saddiq are now in a special relationship, despite neither having confirmed it.

'He's an honest, genuine and brave person who does everything with a sincere heart. Maybe this is a form of repayment for all the good he has done,' the 31-year-old actress told mStar, The Star 's Malay-language news portal. Bella, whose full name is Dayang Ara Nabellah Awang Astillah, also said she won't be commenting further on her connection with Syed Saddiq. 'I'm handing all my future plans to Allah SWT. If it's fated, then Alhamdulillah. I'm a woman. It's not sweet to share my plans for the future. Just pray for the best,' she said. Meanwhile, Syed Saddiq told reporters that he has no plans to 'move to the next phase' with Bella. The former Youth and Sports Minister said his current priority is to spend time with his family, adding: 'I just want to bring my mum, dad and family members out for a meal.' When asked if Bella would be joining for the meal, Syed Saddiq simply smiled and declined to comment. For the record, Bella and Syed Saddiq sparked romance rumours earlier this year after appearing together in a Hari Raya Aidilfitri campaign for a local fashion label. He was also photographed accompanying Bella at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) in Sepang in March as she prepared to perform Umrah in the Holy Land. Bella was previously married to Singaporean artiste Aliff Aziz, with whom she shares two kids. The former couple first divorced in 2019 after Aliff, 34, was hit with cheating allegations but reconciled in 2020. They divorced for the second time on June 13 last year.
