The Love Journey of Ari Lasso - Vitta Dessy, The Struggle of Marrying Across Religions and Once Without Blessing - 25 Years Without Gossip

Ari Lasso and Vitta Dessy first met when they were both students at Airlangga University. At that time, Vitta was looking for a place to pay her tuition fees and ran into Ari, who then helped her. From their first meeting, Ari had a crush on Vitta, whom he thought was the prettiest among all those in line.

After the tuition payment was completed, Ari suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked for her name. He shouted to ask for her name, and Vitta, who was already in the parking lot, replied with a shout as well. This is where their love story began.

After being in a relationship for some time, Ari and Vitta decided to get married in 1999. They had three wedding ceremonies: one at the church, one at home, and one at the Civil Registry office. At that time, they did not receive blessings from Vitta's parents due to their religious differences.

However, at the last moments before the wedding blessing at the Church, Vitta's parents finally gave their blessing. They came to the Church and gave their blessing just before the wedding ceremony began.

Ari and Vitta started their marriage from scratch. At that time, Ari had just left Dewa 19, he was experiencing drug problems, and had no money or job. However, he still bravely married Vitta and his proposal was accepted.

Not long after getting married, Vitta and Ari were blessed with their first child named Aura, who is affectionately called Ola. Ola's presence became a turning point for Ari; he admitted that it felt like a wake-up call that his child needed milk and diapers, and he had to get back on his feet immediately.

The presence of Ola and the departure of Ari's mother made this man born in Madiun struggle to rise from the drugs that had brought him down. Ari underwent rehabilitation for drugs and started his solo career with a duet project with Melly Goeslaw.

For years, the marriage of Ari Lasso and Vitta was hardly ever hit by gossip. Even when Ari was sick with cancer some time ago, Vitta always accompanied him during the treatment process and also during recovery.

From their marriage, Ari and Vitta were blessed with 4 children. In addition, Vitta also has one child from her previous marriage to Ari, who is also close to the singer. Ari and Vitta's separation has also received permission from their children.

Ari Lasso and Vitta have officially divorced after 25 years together. They officially divorced in February 2024 amicably, and Ari Lasso apologized to his children for failing to be a good Christian family leader.
