KUALA LUMPUR: Actress Diana Danielle has officially instructed her lawyer, Datuk Akberdin Abdul Kadir, to proceed with filing for divorce from her husband, actor Farid Kamil.
The announcement was made following a statement Diana posted on Instagram, revealing her intent to end their marriage.
Akberdin confirmed that the divorce will be filed soon at the Syariah Lower Court in Petaling, Subang Bestari, Shah Alam, Selangor.
"My client has provided instructions to proceed with the divorce, and I am in the process of finalising the necessary preparations," he told BH Online.
He noted that Diana is firm in her decision to move forward with the legal process.
When asked about the reasons behind Diana's decision, Akberdin shared that further details would be disclosed at the appropriate time.
"For now, the filing is confirmed, and we'll provide more information later," he said.
This is not the first time Diana has sought to dissolve the marriage.
In March last year, she filed for divorce at the same court, citing irreconcilable differences, ongoing disputes (shiqaq), and the inability to continue their life as a couple.
Although they divorced via Google Meet in August 2023, the couple attempted reconciliation a month later.
Yesterday's announcement marks a turning point in their relationship, with Diana's renewed commitment to filing for divorce.
Diana and Farid tied the knot on Nov 3, 2012, and share two children, Muhammad, 11, and Nur Aurora, 9.
