Asked by Merry Riana about her relationship with Ayu Ting Ting, Boy William said differences were a barrier

Merry Riana discusses Boy William and Ayu Ting Ting's relationship, is it just a gimmick?

Boy William and Ayu Ting Ting have been close friends for years, since they started their careers in Indonesian entertainment. However, their closeness often raises speculation among the public, whether this relationship is just a gimmick to attract attention or whether there are deeper feelings.

In a podcast episode with Merry Riana, Boy William explained that many people, including his family, questioned their relationship. "Not only outsiders, the family also often asks because they receive many calls from friends and relatives. We always communicate and introduce each other to the family, but don't know how it will end," he said in a video uploaded on Tuesday (11/5/2024).

Boy continued, "We introduce each other to the family to see if this relationship is serious or not. God is my guide in this matter." Merry Riana then added, "But sometimes we can tell the driver , I want this one," indicating that they have a choice in this relationship.

According to Merry Riana, the relationship between Boy and Ayu is something sincere and real. "In my honest opinion, your relationship is real . The connection between the two of you is real. In my opinion, the relationship is genuine , although there are elements of content, there must be a boundary between content and a real relationship," she explained.

Furthermore, Merry Riana believes that Ayu Ting Ting can bring positive changes to Boy William. However, religious differences are a barrier for them to unite. "I have known Boy for 4 years and many changes have occurred. Maybe not 100 percent because of him, but Ayu is part of that journey. However, these differences are indeed difficult to bridge," concluded Merry Riana.

On another occasion, Kiky Saputri once asked who was the right woman to be Boy William's wife. Without hesitation, Kiky mentioned Ayu's name. However, Boy admitted that religious differences hindered their relationship. "For now, you know . Your sister (Ayu Ting Ting) yes . Because there are many differences, so it has to be slow," he said.
