Ahmad Dhani Closes the Door on Meetings with Maia Estianty, Dul Jaelani's Wedding Affected

Musician Ahmad Dhani stated that his entire extended family has agreed to no longer hold meetings in any form with Maia Estianty.

This firm decision was made following the deep disappointment from Dhani's family. This was triggered by Maia's behavior, which was deemed to have violated the manners and etiquette towards the parents during the series of El Rumi's wedding events that took place some time ago.

"In the future, my family does not want to meet with Maia Estianty again. The whole big family of mine does not want to meet Maia Estianty again since the Siraman yesterday, or since the wedding vows yesterday," said Ahmad Dhani when met in the Kemang area, South Jakarta, Tuesday (5/5/2026).

Dhani revealed that the main root of the problem in this heated relationship is the offense taken by his mother. According to Dhani, during that series of sacred events, Maia did not show any goodwill to greet or even just say hello to her former in-laws.

This neglectful attitude is considered a serious ethical violation for the Dhani family. He regrets the loss of respect for parents during a moment that should have been a family unification for the happiness of the children. "My mother is very offended, Maia never greets my mother, does not say hello," said Dhani.

The husband of Mulan Jameela regrets the loss of 'tepo seliro' or empathy in social interactions. Dhani then compared his own behavior, which continues to uphold the honor of Maia's parents, even though their marital relationship has long been over.

For Dhani, respecting parents is the foundation of etiquette that should not be forgotten under any circumstances. This is what made his mother very angry because she received treatment that was considered inappropriate.

"Yes, there must be this, there must be mutual respect. When I meet Maia's parents, I kiss their hands. That's the basic of etiquette, right? My mother is very angry because Maia didn't greet her at all," he said.

This escalating conflict is sure to impact the wedding plans of their youngest son, Dul Jaelani. Dhani has already devised a strict plan to avoid any moments on the same stage or the same wedding venue with his ex-wife to prevent discomfort for his extended family.

He feels caught off guard by the previous events of El Rumi, which were considered to lack a clear agreement. Moving forward, Dhani has chosen to hold the wedding reception independently and allow other processes to proceed separately.

"Yes, later I will make my own wedding reception, the water blessing with the mother is up to her, not with me. There will be no more family gatherings. I am actually a bit disappointed with El's wedding. We should have made an agreement, not just accepting things as they come. It turns out we were caught off guard," Dhani expressed.

Regarding efforts for mediation or improving relationships in the future, Dhani quickly closed the door on that opportunity. For him, there is no benefit to rekindling communication with Maia Estianty, especially since their children have grown up and understand the situation that has occurred.

"No, there is nothing. What for? It’s also useless. The kids know too. Why bother considering it? No need, Dul is already grown up. I am Dul's father," said Ahmad Dhani.
