After Being Treated for Cancer, 8 Photos of Ari Lasso Speak Out About the Separation Issue Before Officially Divorcing

When met at the First Anniversary Celebration of Hades VIP in Cibubur, Depok, on Saturday (3/11), Ari revealed that he and Vitta had long been separated. “That’s because of COVID, right? We have three of us, the child is already grown. Eventually, I decided to take it like that,” he said.

Ari explained that the pandemic period posed a significant challenge in their relationship. Besides being apart due to COVID-19, both were busy with their respective jobs. “Communication became somewhat reduced, often leading to misunderstandings, my wife was also busy struggling during the pandemic, working very hard until she got COVID several times,” he said.

During their 25 years of marriage, Vitta Dessy has always accompanied Ari in various important moments. However, complex factors eventually led them to agree to separate. “There are many factors, and in the end, we decided this way. It’s difficult for the children because they see their parents’ unhealthy relationship,” said Ari.

When Ari was diagnosed with cancer, Vitta Dessy, along with Ari's siblings, played a significant role in caring for him. Ari does not deny Vitta's substantial role during his recovery, but he still emphasizes that their separation was not an easy decision. “My wife was helped by my sister in taking care of me, playing a big role, but yes, there are many factors,” he revealed.

Ari is aware of the criticism and speculation from netizens regarding his divorce. However, he chooses not to respond. “The issue with netizens is their right to judge. I will never tell my side, it ended because of fate,” Ari explained.

Ari emphasizes that this separation is a fate that must be accepted and is a part of his life. He also stresses that this is a private decision that has been mutually agreed upon. “It may seem strange or hard to understand, after being cared for and then recovering, but it’s fate,” said Ari.

Although it is difficult, Ari and Vitta hope this decision brings goodness for them and their children. After completing their 25-year household journey, Ari hopes that their lives can each move forward better and in peace.
