Brilio.net - Actor Stefan William is back in the spotlight after he revealed that he married Ria Andrews in 2022. This announcement was made through a written statement on his Instagram Story, where Stefan also uploaded proof of his marriage certificate with Ria.
Their marriage, which has lasted almost two years, has become a hot topic. Especially after Stefan's ex-wife, Celine Evangelista , vented her anger on social media.
Celine openly questioned the legitimacy of Stefan and Ria's marriage, especially regarding the documents and procedures they went through. She questioned whether the marriage was valid according to religion and law. Celine even mentioned their children, which made her conflict with Stefan even more heated in the public eye.
"Listen carefully, you and your family, listen carefully, don't let me find out. Already 2022, Already 2022, this is Indonesia, dude, you're Christian, not Muslim, you can't have a secret marriage," said Celine Evangelista in her live broadcast on Instagram @celine_evangelista.
"Which church did you marry from? Which pastor? Yes. All the documents must be clear, do you think you can have a service without a signed letter? Huh," he added.

Although his ex-wife doubted the authenticity of the marriage certificate that Stefan showed, the actor remained firm in his stance. In an interview, Stefan asserted that his marriage was legally and religiously valid. Anyone can verify it directly at the church.
"Ria and I were married on September 8, 2022, it was legal, there were all the documents. It was clear, there were no lies at all, you can check directly at the church," said Stefan William as quoted by Liputan6.com, Saturday (14/9).
However, what is interesting is Stefan's silence regarding the issues raised by Celine. Although Celine often makes sharp sarcasm, Stefan chooses not to be too open about his household problems.

The 31-year-old man feels that discussing personal issues in public will only prolong the conflict. He believes that opening up household problems in public is not a wise move, especially if it will affect his children.
"Why I kept quiet all this time is because I was thinking about my child. Maybe if I told everything, why I chose to divorce, because of this-this-this problem, it will not be resolved," he explained.
"There must be people who believe it, there must be people who don't believe it. Later on social media, there will be other talk, it will continue to discuss people's personal issues and privacy."

While he respects other artists who choose to open up about their personal issues, Stefan chooses to keep his marriage private. He hopes the public will also respect his decision not to reveal too many details about his life with Ria Andrews.
There are those who want to talk about personal problems, privacy. Maybe I'm one of those who doesn't want to say anything. There is something that needs to be said about privacy or personal issues, perhaps there is, but only a little. "Maybe I'm one of those who won't tell that story," concluded Stefan William.
With his silence, Stefan hopes to maintain the peace of his family. He also tries to avoid prolonged conflict that could harm other parties, especially his children.
