Vida wants man who cares and loves her and her children

KUALA LUMPUR: Cosmetics millionaire Datuk Seri Vida is not ready for a new relationship after her personal assistant recently declared that he had fallen in love with her and was willing to be her husband.

The 46-year-old businesswoman whose real name is Hasmiza Othman, however, was reported to have said that if fate decrees it, she hopes to be with someone who will care for and love her children too.

“It is normal for me because many have confessed their love to me,” she said in a report by mStar, The Star’s Malaylanguage portal.

However, she was not ready to accept the proposal of her personal assistant Ahmad Iqbal Zulkefli, 23.

She said her priority now is to find a man who can love her two children, Edlynn Zamileen Muhammad Amin (Cik B), 12, and Muhammad Eric Zacquan (Kacak), 10, as his own.

“It is undeniable that I want a man who can care for me and love my children and me, but I have yet to find that someone truly special.

“Cik B and Kacak need to be given attention, they are still traumatised from my divorce.

“They hope to be loved by a father but when they started to show trust and affection, the marriage ended in divorce,” said Vida, whose third marriage ended in April.

Vida also said she has to take into consideration her family’s opinion about her getting into another relationship, adding that her sister was concerned about individuals who were only after her wealth.

When asked about her relationship with her aide Ahmad Iqbal, Vida denied that they are in a romantic relationship.

“We are employer and employee, there is nothing more between us,” she said, adding that they have a comfortable working relationship.

Vida said she does not mind dating a younger person and leaves it to God’s will.

“I don’t mind as long as the man is the best for my children and me. The most important thing is that my children give their blessings to the relationship,” she said.

Previously, Vida said she also lost two other children, Muhammad Eddie Zuhdi Mohd Amin, 11, and Muhammad Edrie Zikrie, 10, to a fire four years ago.
