Asked Whether He Will Also Reconcile with Venna Melinda, Ferry Irawan: Only Almighty Allah Always Forgives His People

Kapanlagi.com - Apparently, Ferry Irawan has made peace with his ex-wife, Anggia Novita, after a video of them celebrating Eid that Ferry uploaded on his social media. In fact, netizens prayed in the comment section for them to reconcile.

The 47-year-old man said that his life principle is to not have any enemies. That's why he is happy to make peace with the woman who was his wife for 13 years.

When asked if he will do the same with Venna Melinda, who is also his ex-wife, the man who started his career in the entertainment industry since 1997 answered.

"If I never hold grudges against anyone, I don't want to pollute my heart, I always try, always cleanse my heart, keep it away from heart diseases because they all come from the heart," Ferry said when met in Kuningan, South Jakarta, on Friday (19/4/2024).

"Because my principle is that Almighty Allah always forgives His people, why would I, as His creation, not forgive others, so whatever happens, I always forgive," Ferry continued.

As a good Muslim, Ferry admits that he does not want to have any enemies. However, he will not force someone who already has different thoughts from him.

"I never want to be enemies with anyone, what I want in my life is peace, maintaining good relations, that's who I am, but I can't force people to be like me," Ferry firmly said.

Ferry's principle is that separating does not mean having to be enemies and not knowing each other. For him, even though they no longer have a bond, he still wants to have a good relationship with his ex-wife, like with Anggia Novita.

"Separating does not mean not being siblings and it is not my right to cut off the ties of friendship, because as a Muslim, I am not allowed to cut off the ties of friendship," he said.

"So why not if we can be siblings, friends, support each other, whatever it is not because of me, but because Allah moves our hearts," he concluded.

2. Venna and Ferry's Wedding

It is known that Ferry officially married Venna Melinda on March 7, 2022. Initially, their marriage seemed very harmonious and made many people jealous.

However, suddenly there was an incident that shocked many people. This was because Venna Melinda reported Ferry to the police for alleged domestic violence.

After going through the trial, on May 23, 2023, the judges declared that Ferry was proven guilty of domestic violence against Venna Melinda. Ferry was sentenced to one year in prison, which was lighter than the demand of the Public Prosecutor's Office (JPU) which demanded a 1.5-year prison sentence.
