Celebrity couple Irwansyah and Zaskia Sungkar are currently experiencing immense joy as they celebrate the arrival of their third child. The adorable baby boy has been lovingly named Urwah Muhammad Syahki, adding another precious member to their growing family.
Zaskia Sungkar revealed that their newborn son was conceived through in-vitro fertilization (IVF), a method also successfully utilized for their firstborn son, Ukkasya. Providing more details, Zaskia shared with reporters in Menteng, Central Jakarta, on Monday (February 23), “His name is Urwah Muhammad Syahki. He was born weighing 2.6 kilograms and measuring 47 centimeters.”
The arrival of Urwah, according to Zaskia, has brought a fresh wave of happiness to their small family. Despite this being her third experience with childbirth, Zaskia candidly admitted to still feeling nervous throughout the delivery process. She affectionately compared her current emotions to those she felt during Ukkasya’s birth, emphasizing the overwhelming sentiment. “The feeling hasn’t diminished, it’s just like with Ukkasya. For Ukkasya, we waited 10 years, for this one, the gap is closer, but the excitement is the same, the nervousness is the same, the emotion is the same, so it’s really like I can’t express it in words,” Zaskia conveyed.
On the same occasion, Irwansyah shed light on the profound significance behind their son’s name. He explained that in Islam, Urwah was a revered companion of the Prophet, known for his distinct skill in trade and commerce. It is this particular aptitude that Irwansyah deeply hopes will be inherited by his third child, fostering a legacy of business acumen.
Irwansyah further elaborated on their children’s names, stating, “Urwah. So Urwah is also one of the Prophet’s companions. Our first child is Ukkasya. Our second child is Humaira, then the third is Urwah.” He continued, “Yes, Urwah is also a companion. He was a companion who was skilled in what’s called marketing, good at trading.” As an artist who is also deeply involved in the business world, Irwansyah expressed his heartfelt wish that the name Urwah would serve as their ultimate prayer for their son. He hopes the child will be “smart in seizing opportunities and have strong business instincts.”
Before Urwah’s birth, Irwansyah and Zaskia Sungkar were already blessed with two children. Their first child is named Ukkasya Muhammad Syahki, and their second child is named Ummaira. The couple tied the knot on January 15, 2011, and famously welcomed their first child only after a remarkable 10-year period of anticipation, making their journey to parenthood a truly celebrated one.
