In the latest twist of Aliff Aziz’s relationship scandal, the Singaporean singer-actor claimed that he cheated on his wife, Bella Astillah, as his “soul felt empty”.
He also acknowledged that he had made a mistake and was embarrassed about it, The Star noted.
These revelations were made in an interview with Malaysian entertainment show Melodi on Sunday (12 May).
Recently, Bella, who is a Malaysian singer-actress, came forward to allege that her husband had cheated on her 11 times — including with her younger sister.
During the interview, Aliff confessed that he was ashamed about how he couldn’t resist cheating on Bella.
He added that he did not cherish what he had at the time.
The 33-year-old also spoke about the suspected khalwat or close proximity incident with Malaysian actress Ruhainies. On 9 March, the pair were caught together in Ruhainies’s condominium unit in Kuala Lumpur.
Earlier in February, CCTV footage also captured them at the building’s lift lobby.

Referring to the scandal, the actor said that he did not shy away from the incident but remained silent as he did not want his words twisted by the public. He further admitted that it was a mistake.
The case is still being investigated, reported The Star.
Upon finding out about the saga, Bella filed for divorce from her husband.

“I still love Bella,” he admitted while expressing that he needs more time to make the decision.
In the interview with Melodi, the singer-actor explained that he initially rejected the divorce as Bella “is the mother of [his] children”.
The couple have two children together, aged 3 and 6 respectively.

“There needs to be more discussion. What happens after is something I have to bear,” he shared.
Moreover, he revealed that they had been facing issues in their marriage even before he began shooting with Ruhainies.
Particularly, he highlighted that Bella would ask for divorce “even for small things”.
Their upcoming divorce hearing is set to take place on 4 June. Claiming that he would cooperate fully, Aliff also stated his readiness to let Bella take custody of their children.
Even so, he still wishes to be able to visit and spend nights with his kids.
“I don’t want the bond between us to be severed or obstructed,” he stressed.
