Singer and celebrity chef Datuk Fazley Yaakob proposed to entrepreneur Datuk Seri Vida on Tuesday night at the Live 11.11 Mega Shock concert at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, ending months of speculation about a relationship the pair had largely played out on social media, New Straits Times wrote.
Vida, whose real name is Hasmiza Othman, 56, said yes three times, thanking him as her voice broke. “My answer is yes, yes and yes. Thank you, darling. Is this the beginning of something big, including the fulfilment of my prayers to find happiness with a partner? This is the opening of the door to that happiness,” she said.
Fazley, 48, gave her a RM7,000 ring designed by Habib Jewels in the shape of a tiara, a nod to her fondness for wearing crowns. Before asking, he performed two songs, among them Di Alam Fana Cinta, one of her favourites.
The centrepiece was a display of 1,200 drones that formed the question “Nak Duduk Ipoh ke KL?”, or whether she would rather live in Ipoh or Kuala Lumpur. Fazley put the total cost of the surprise at about RM500,000, covering the drone display, production and event preparations, with several parties sponsoring the effort.
He said the plan had been set two to three weeks earlier, with intensive preparation over nearly 14 days. He picked TikTok for her following there. “To me, DSV is the ‘Queen of TikTok’. So it is only fitting that we celebrate her in a world that has given her so much support and recognition,” he said.
The two were linked through the second season of Astro Ria reality programme Talk To My Manager around May. Their children did the introductions, Utusan Malaysia reported, with Vida’s daughter Cik B and Fazley’s eldest son Fariedz Fazley, known as Payish, arranging a meeting at a Japanese restaurant.
Fazley was direct about what the ring means. “This ring is a symbolic gesture of my proposal to DSV. It is not an engagement ring, but a sign that our relationship is serious,” he said. “People have often asked whether our relationship is serious, whether it is merely social media content or whether we are already married. So, I wanted to give the public a clear answer.”
Both have married before. Fazley’s 18-year marriage to Azrene Soraya Abdul Aziz ended in October 2024. Vida has married three times, the last ending on 7 April 2017 after three years with Fairuz Ahmad Zainuddin.
Children from both families were at the convention centre for the proposal, which was streamed on TikTok as it happened.
