[Profile] Portrait of Ongky Alexander, Handsome Artist of the 90s Who Rose to Fame Through 'CATATAN SI BOY' - His Love Story Becomes the Spotlight

This film, which was originally produced in 1987 by director Nasri Cheppy, starred Ario Bayu, Carissa Putri, Didi Petet, and of course Ongky Alexander. The film was a huge success and spawned four sequels in 1988, 1989, 1990, and 1991.

In 1995, Ongky Alexander surprised the public by marrying Paula Ayustina Saroinsong. At that time, Ongky's career was at its peak, and his decision to marry Paula, a widow without children who was 10 years older than him, became a hot topic of discussion.

Many believed Ongky would marry Paramitha Rusady, a top actress who had been his partner for 4 years. However, fate had other plans.

Paula, who at the time served as the marketing director at PT. Citra Lamtorogung Persada, known to be a family-owned company of the Cendana family, was recognized as a wealthy figure. This status led to Ongky being accused of being a 'materialistic guy.' However, Ongky chose to remain silent about the accusations. After getting married, Ongky decided to leave the entertainment world and focus on his family.

Ongky chose to disappear from the entertainment world after the birth of his child. In an interview with Ferdy Tahier, Ongky expressed that his decision to step back from acting was based on his desire to be a good father and to protect his family from the temptations and gossip of the entertainment world.

The divorce from Paula made Ongky lose everything. He admitted that he once had a zero balance and had to start life from scratch. Ongky decided to focus on becoming a coal mining entrepreneur, which he still pursues to this day.

During his 20 years of marriage to Paula, Ongky's life appeared harmonious and free from scandal. However, in 2015, rumors surfaced after the Lambe Turah account uploaded a photo of Ongky with a woman who was not Paula. Rumors of infidelity spread, and in 2016, the couple officially divorced. 

In the midst of difficulties, Ongky found new happiness. Secretly, he remarried a woman from a wealthy family. One of his wife's relatives is Atilah Soeryadjaja, who is the daughter of the Mangkunegara VII royal lineage, and her husband is the son of the owner of the Astra group.

This marriage was only announced in 2023 on social media, and Ongky's new wife has been accepted by his only child, Sasqia. Meanwhile, Paula Ayustina, who had battled breast cancer, seems to have not remarried. She was seen attending Sasqia's wedding on May 17, 2024, accompanied by Ongky, indicating that their relationship has improved. 

Although he has left the entertainment world, Ongky Alexander's name remains remembered as one of the best actors of the 90s era. His life, full of ups and downs, from the peak of his career to the struggles in his personal life, has become an unforgettable story for his fans.
