Red Magician Admits to Practicing Polygamy by Marrying Ratu Rizky Nabila

There were rumors that Pesulap Merah got married again immediately after his wife, Tika, passed away on January 27, 2026. However, the man whose real name is Marcel Radhival denied the news.  Regarding the presence of a second wife, Marcel stated that he has been married again for a long time. The Pesulap Merah admitted to practicing polygamy.

Marcel acknowledged his polygamy during a live broadcast on his personal social media account recently. He mentioned that his second marriage took place in 2022. "Yes, it's true I have been in a polygamous relationship since 2022. The three of us have been doing well since 2022," said Marcel.

Therefore, Marcel denied that he was said to have married again while his wife's grave was still fresh. Because his second marriage has been quite some time ago. "Since 2022, I have two wives. The one who passed away yesterday was my first wife. My second wife has been with me since 2022," he asserted.

In his live broadcast, Marcel revealed that his second wife is the celebrity Ratu Rizky Nabila. They got married in 2022, and initially, it caused some turmoil in the household of the Red Magician with Tika.

"At first, the arguments during the early days of polygamy were normal. But Allah allowed it, destined it again, united us again, you know. Until, well, the sad news is, when the situation started to calm down, when things were getting better, the first wife passed away, innalillahi wainnaillaihirojiun. That’s a deep sadness for us," said Marcel.

When asked by netizens whether he would engage in polygamy again since his first wife has passed away, Marcel stated that he would not marry again. However, he teased Ratu Rizky Nabila about whether he could marry again. "Is it really allowed, darling?," Marcel asked."They say love, did you just get married?," Nabila replied."No way, I actually wanted to have a three-way marriage for life. But it turns out Tika passed away first," Marcel answered.

Marcel also admitted that during the four years of practicing polygamy, he limited communication between Tika and Nabila. Now he feels a great loss for his first wife. "Because now we are just the two of us. Originally we were three, going through our days together. Although I feel it more (the loss). Because with the first and second wives, I limited communication," he said.
