Kuala Lumpur — Malaysian celebrity Bella Astillah gave birth to a baby girl on Saturday (July 18). Her husband, singer Aliff Aziz, could not be with her because he is in his home country of Singapore and the border is closed as a result of Covid-19 circuit breaker measures.

Just days before the birth, Bella, 26, had shared that even though the family members had not seen each other for months, Aliff, 29, had not shirked his responsibilities. Sharing with BH Online, Bella said that her husband often reached out to her and their three-year-old son Ayden Adrean to say “hi”. Bella said she also had her parents and siblings around so she would not be lonely although she had to go through pregnancy and childbirth process without Aliff by her side.
