SINGER and celebrity chef Datuk Fazley Yaakob says his relationship with cosmetics entrepreneur Datuk Seri Vida has received the blessing of his former wife, Azrene Soraya Abdul Aziz, Harian Metro reported.
Fazley, 48, attributed the harmonious situation to good communication.
“We consider this one big family, and that has given a lot of support to my current relationship,” said Fazley.
The high-profile romance is no longer a secret, with the pair increasingly sharing glimpses of their affection on social media.
In a recent TikTok post, Vida shared a family dinner attended by Fazley and his children at a restaurant, with his former wife also joining the gathering.
Meanwhile, Vida dismissed notions among some netizens that the affectionate interactions between her and Fazley appeared awkward or inappropriate given their age difference.
Vida, 55, whose real name is Hasmiza Othman, explained that the moments were not staged and happened spontaneously during her business livestreams, which usually attract between 10,000 and 20,000 viewers.
> Savouring Korean food began as a trend among young Malaysians, but it has now become a daily staple for many of them, reported Kosmo!.
This has sparked some concerns as such food, including Korean instant noodles, ramyeon, tteokbokki and kimbap, can be high in salt, sugar and fat and are readily available at convenience stores and cafes nationwide.
Kedah Medical Centre dietitian Mohd Khir Izwan Ariffin said the trend is more pronounced now than a decade ago, as such food is more convenient than cooking meals from scratch.
Dietitian Farah Farhanan Hashim said the growing consumption of convenience food among children and young people is increasingly worrying.
She added that the perception that Korean food is healthier needed to be corrected, as not all Korean dishes offered good nutritional value.
