#SHOWBIZ: Syed Saddiq: I feel like I've known Bella Astillah my whole life
KUALA LUMPUR: Muar member of parliament Syed Saddiq has once again captured public attention with a playful remark about his relationship with popular actress and singer Bella Astillah.
Syed Saddiq's comment came during a video shared by actor Aidil Aziz, where he was asked how long he had known Bella.
"YB (Yang Berhormat), how long have you known Bella?" Aidil asked.
Syed Saddiq responded with a lighthearted "pickup line," seemingly hinting at the nature of their relationship.
"Even though it's temporary, it feels like it's been forever," he quipped.
Bella, who was present, reportedly smiled and blushed at his response.
The moment was apparently captured at the recent celebrity wedding of actress Eyka Farhana and national footballer Akhyar Rashid.
The video has since generated buzz online, with netizens expressing their excitement and anticipation.
"My heart melted listening to YB's 'pickup line'," one netizen commented.
Another wrote, "Oh my God, please get married right away!"

The viral video has garnered over 1.3 million views and 96,000 likes, highlighting the intense public interest in the Bella Astillah-Syed Saddiq pairing, affectionately dubbed "BASS."
Syed Saddiq, 33, and Bella Astillah's friendship blossomed after they collaborated as ambassadors for a local clothing brand.
The politician subsequently appeared in Bella's music video, "Tapi Bukan Denganmu."
Despite their frequent public appearances together, neither Syed Saddiq nor Bella has confirmed the nature of their relationship.
However, reports indicate that their families have given their blessings.
Bella, 31, was previously married to actor Aliff Aziz. They divorced for the second time on June 13 of last year.
The former couple share two children: Ayden, 8, and Ara Adreanna, 5.

#SHOWBIZ: Bella Astillah: It's an honour to meet Lee Min-ho
KUALA LUMPUR: Singer and actress Bella Astillah, 31, is delighted to finally meet one of her idols, South Korean actor Lee Min-ho. The 31-year-old Sabahan artiste spent RM500 to join a recent contest to meet and greet the South Korean star. In an interview with Harian Metro yesterday, Bella said that the contest was organised as part of a campaign by a product for which he was a brand ambassador. "I've been a long-time fan of Min-ho, so when the opportunity to meet and greet him came, I quickly bought products worth RM500," said Bella. Bella's good friend, Muar Member of Parliament Syed Saddiq Abdul Rahman, however, felt that her move was a "waste of money" at a time when the cost of living was on the rise. "I told him it could be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so it was worth it," said Bella, who shed tears of joy when she finally won her ticket to meet Min-ho.

#SHOWBIZ: Bella Astillah apologises if videos with Syed Saddiq may irk some
KUALA LUMPUR: Singer and actress Bella Astillah apologises if anyone has become uncomfortable with the various social media content featuring her alongside Muar member of Parliament Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman. Bella, 31, whose real name is Dayang Ara Nabella Awang Astillah, said the video posts uploaded to social media were part of her work commitments. "To everyone out there, I understand that some might feel uneasy with those videos. However, everything is actually part of a collaboration that we are required to fulfill. "For example, a client has helped us by providing aid to Sabah and Muar, so we need to return the favour by giving them some publicity such as doing live sessions together," she said during the launch of her new song, 'Lebih Indah Berpisah', composed and written by Indonesian musician and composer Ade Govinda held here earlier today. When asked if the closeness between her and Syed Saddiq was merely for show, Bella said the interactions shown were all spontaneous. "Syed Saddiq is not an actor, so it was all spontaneous. We were just doing the assigned job. For example, this month we had to do four postings, so we focused on that. But we were never required to act or anything like that," she said. Bella gave a similar answer when asked about the nature of her relationship with the politician. "When it comes to talking about relationships, I'm not comfortable talking about it. "Not only because I'm a woman, but also a mother of two. To speak openly about it is a bit improper for me. What I can say is, just pray for the best for me. "I know it sounds cliché, but it really is the for future plans, there are many things that I need to prioritise such as family and career," she added. In other developments, following the success of her previous single 'Tapi Bukan Denganmu,' Bella is thrilled that now she has a new one. The new single, is a special collaborative project with the renowned Indonesian musician. Bella said the song 'Lebih Indah Berpisah holds' a special meaning for her. "This song was beautifully created by Ade. Its simple message is that sometimes, in a relationship, it is much better to go on separate ways," she said. Bella married Aliff Aziz on Sept 9, 2016, but the couple divorced for the second time on June 13 last year at the Federal Territories Syariah Court. They have two children together, Ayden Adrean, 8, and Ara Adreanna, 5.
