Teknowarta – The recent marriage of Indonesian actress Syifa Hadju to El Rumi has brought her past relationship with actor Rizky Nazar back into the spotlight. The celebrity couple, Syifa Hadju and El Rumi—second son of music mogul Ahmad Dhani and Maia Estianty—exchanged vows on April 26, 2026. This significant event took place after a relatively swift courtship, as they decided to marry just over a year after they began dating in October 2025.
Before finding her partner in El Rumi, Syifa Hadju was famously involved in a five-year relationship with actor Rizky Nazar. Their romance was widely admired, with many fans labeling them “couple goals” and even forming a dedicated fanbase that passionately supported their journey. Tragically, their relationship eventually dissolved, reportedly due to issues of infidelity, although Syifa herself had previously denied these allegations. Despite their separation, online communities continue to draw comparisons between Syifa Hadju‘s past with Rizky Nazar and her present happiness with El Rumi.
Adding to the public discourse, celebrity couple Ferry Maryadi and Deswita Maharani, whom Syifa Hadju deeply respects and considers parental figures, shared their insights. During an appearance on Trans 7 Official’s YouTube channel on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, Deswita Maharani clarified that El Rumi entered Syifa‘s life after her breakup with Rizky Nazar. Deswita recalled Syifa‘s initial mindset, stating, “At that moment, she probably felt like, ‘Oh, after a five-year relationship, it failed, I’ll just be by myself first.’ But just as she wanted to be alone, El suddenly appeared.”
Both Deswita and Ferry Maryadi unequivocally asserted that they observed a distinct and positive change in Syifa Hadju‘s demeanor and overall happiness since she began her relationship with El Rumi, contrasting it with her time alongside Rizky Nazar. When asked by the FYP host about any perceived differences, Ferry Maryadi responded emphatically, “Of course, definitely. Alhamdulillah (Praise be to God),” expressing his profound gratitude for Syifa‘s choice to be with El. Deswita further elaborated that this contrast was strikingly evident, suggesting that the public, too, could clearly discern the distinction. She added that from the very beginning of Syifa and El‘s budding romance, they received overwhelming support from family, friends, and fans alike. “It’s visible, everyone can surely see the difference between then and now. Moreover, many people have prayed for them since they first got close; everyone adores El Syifa,” Deswita concluded.
Rizky Nazar’s Sister Extends Heartfelt Blessings
Despite the end of her brother’s relationship with Syifa Hadju, Rizky Nazar’s sister, Rizkina Nazar, demonstrated immense grace by attending Syifa‘s wedding to El Rumi. Rizkina, who had forged a close bond with Syifa during her five-year relationship with Rizky, offered her heartfelt blessings and well wishes for the couple’s new journey. On Monday, April 27, 2026, Rizkina shared emotional moments from the wedding reception at Hotel Raffles Jakarta on her Instagram. She reminisced about their shared dreams of Syifa‘s wedding day, writing, “I still remember all those days, we spent time dreaming about how your dream wedding would be, laughing and imagining every little detail,” as quoted by Tribunnews. Rizkina expressed her awe at Syifa‘s radiant beauty, adding, “Even back then, I always knew you would be the most beautiful bride, but seeing you now, I am stunned.”
Rizkina conveyed her immense joy for Syifa Hadju as she embarked on this new chapter with El Rumi, extending wishes for a lifetime filled with love. “You are even more radiant and amazing than anything I ever imagined,” Rizkina’s touching post continued. “My heart feels full, and I am so, so happy for you, my dear. As you enter this new chapter, I wish your days to be filled with boundless love, tender moments, and a lifetime of laughter and happiness.” Concluding her poignant message, Rizkina affirmed her enduring affection for Syifa, “No matter where life takes us, I will love you forever and always.”
El Rumi’s Profound Reasons for Choosing Syifa Hadju
In an interview with ELLE Indonesia Magazine, published on Monday, April 27, 2026, El Rumi candidly explained the two primary factors that solidified his decision to marry Syifa Hadju. El, who is the younger brother-in-law to Alyssa Daguise, underscored Syifa‘s inherently loving nature and her deeply rooted religious values. “Syifa is a loving person; her family is too,” El stated. “Syifa was raised in a loving family plus her religion is quite strong.” These inherent qualities, according to El, provided him with the unwavering conviction that Syifa is the ideal life partner and would be an exceptional mother to their future children. “That’s what convinced me that she is the right person to be the mother of my future children. Having strong religious values and high values of affection, that’s what made me even more certain,” he affirmed.
Syifa Hadju Finds Her ‘Home’ and Security in El Rumi
For Syifa Hadju, her choice to commit to El Rumi stemmed from a profound sense of security and a deep-seated belief that with him by her side, she could overcome any obstacle. “I feel like with him, I can get through anything,” Syifa shared. Reflecting on her past, Syifa confessed that she once found it challenging to truly feel loved. As the eldest daughter who grew up primarily with her mother, Shendy Hadju, she was accustomed to shouldering life’s burdens independently, often lacking a consistent male figure or a steady pillar of support in her early life. However, meeting El Rumi completely transformed her perspective. “I used to feel that being loved was difficult, but after meeting El, I realized that it wasn’t hard for me to be loved,” she revealed. “Maybe because I’m the first daughter, I was quite the confidante in my family, so I didn’t have anyone to lean on.” Syifa elaborated, “I also grew up with my mother before she married my current father. So I never had a male figure to lean on until I finally met him. ‘It turns out that what I thought was impossible could become possible.’ I could find a home that made me feel safe and peaceful.” After a year of dating El, Syifa, affectionately known as Cipa, felt an unparalleled sense of safety, comfort, and confidence in their collective ability to navigate any challenges. “So I feel that with him, no matter how bad the problem is, I think I can get through it,” she concluded.
The couple’s solemn wedding ceremony, conducted in Javanese tradition, took place on April 26, 2026, at 10:00 AM WIB. El Rumi officially married Syifa Hadju with a significant dowry comprising 26 grams of precious metal, an additional 4 grams of precious metal, and 2026 British Pounds in cash. The evening was marked by a lavish, international-concept reception, a testament to their joyous union. The celebrations are far from over, as the newlyweds are planning an exclusive third reception to be held in the picturesque setting of Bali, further commemorating their new beginning.
