KUALA LUMPUR – Congratulations are in order for Malaysian singer Shila Amzah, who is expecting a child with her husband, Malaysian social media influencer Muhammad Ubaidillah Mohd Zulkefli.
In an Instagram Story on Jan 4, she said the couple initially chose to keep the good news under wraps as they wanted to ensure her pregnancy was stable.
“Thank you to everyone who sent their well wishes previously. Please pray I (have a safe delivery) and that everything is easy,” the 33-year-old wrote.
In the video, Ubai, 26, shared that 2023 had been bittersweet for the couple.
He said: “It was the year Shila and I decided to get married. My brother passed away before our engagement ceremony, followed by my mum, who passed away days before our wedding.
“Our story in 2023 has concluded, and we want to start 2024 on a happy note.”
According to mStar, The Star’s Malay-language news portal, Shila said in a TikTok video in December that netizens should be more respectful towards her and not speculate about her weight gain.
The report added that many people made assumptions about the singer being pregnant, though she did not deny or confirm anything at the time.
Shila and Ubai tied the knot on Aug 5. She was previously married to Malaysian Haris Idraki Elias in 2018, but the couple divorced in 2022. They have a four-year-old son, Seth Uwais.
Shila made her name in the regional scene after she won the inaugural season of Chinese reality TV singing competition Asian Wave
