Matched with Boy William, Sarwendah Feels Uncomfortable but Aware of the Risks as a Public Figure

Kapanlagi.com - Netizens are once again buzzing with the matchmaking issue between Sarwendah and Boy William after they appeared together in a "Nebeng Boy" content. In the video, Boy openly praised Sarwendah as an independent and hardworking person. Their closeness also attracted public attention.

Not only that, their video post on Instagram made netizens even more eager to match them together. Many believe they look compatible, especially after Sarwendah officially divorced from Ruben Onsu.

Some even hope that they will actually develop a relationship. However, Sarwendah expressed her surprise at the attitude of netizens who often associate her with Boy William. According to her, it is all just a form of collaboration for content needs.

"Oh my, just because I’m filming with a guy, they want to match us. I could be filming with anyone and they would want to match us, yesterday I was filming and got matched, now I’m filming and getting matched, we are filming together so it’s up to the netizens to match us wherever, right?" said Sarwendah in the Cipete area, South Jakarta, Wednesday (27/11/2024).

1. Uncomfortable, But..

Sarwendah expressed her discomfort regarding the issue. Similar situations often occur every time she gets involved in a project with other male artists.

"Yes, it's uncomfortable, but as people say, this is the risk of being a public figure, what can you do. Fortunately, since we are both public figures, we understand each other, imagine if we weren't, it would be awkward, right?" she said.

The former member of Cherrybelle also emphasized that she has been good friends with Boy for a long time. She explained that their closeness is nothing more than a professional relationship.

"I am indeed friends with him. Because the other day I was live on TikTok, and he wanted to learn how to go live on TikTok, then from the TikTok people, they mentioned that if you want to learn TikTok from which public figures, my name was mentioned, he recognized me and called, 'Wendah, can you teach me how to go live?' like that," she clarified.

"That's why sometimes he goes live at my place or I go to his place. It seems natural. We just help each other out," she added.

2. Not Bothered

Although often matched up, Sarwendah chooses not to be bothered. For her, issues like this are part of the life of a public figure. She focuses on living her days by continuing to create in the entertainment world.

"Well, that's just the netizens who are matchmaking. We aren't. We're just looking for money. Now it's more like working, taking care of the kids. So I make my own choices more," she said.

"Before, as a wife, I had to ask for permission for everything, I had to get permission for anything. Now I think more for myself, earn my own money, so I really enjoy it now. Before, I was focused because I had many kids," she concluded.
