KUALA LUMPUR: Celebrity chef and singer Datuk Fazley Yaakob has put an end to online rumours claiming he has secretly married or got engaged to cosmetics entrepreneur Datuk Seri Vida.

Speaking at the launch of Anugerah Melodi Terhangat (AMT) 2026 X Cuckootopia at Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur recently, the 48-year-old artiste clarified that while marriage is in the pipeline, they are taking things one step at a time out of respect for Malay traditions and their families.

Addressing the speculative chatter, Fazley playfully noted that they are letting younger figures take the spotlight first.

"We are giving way to our younger siblings, Syed Saddiq and Bella. After that, perhaps it will be our turn to do what needs to be done, God willing," he said.
