Malaysian actress Diana Danielle, 32, has filed for divorce from her husband, Farid Kamil, 43, after 12 years of marriage.
Diana first announced her decision on her Instagram story.
"I have decided to officially separate from my husband and will be filing for divorce. No, I will not explain why. Maybe he will, as usual. With flowers and rings and empty promises. Have a nice life."

It appears that Diana was referencing the couple's previous divorce proceedings in early 2023, during which Farid attended a court session holding a bouquet and a ring, aiming to win her back by celebrating their 11th anniversary.
In a follow-up Instagram story, she stated, "Oh, and don't persuade (me)."

Second divorce filing
This marks the second time Diana has sought a divorce from Farid.
Diana's lawyer, Datuk Akberdin Abdul Kadir, has confirmed that the actress will be filing for divorce from fellow actor Farid Kamil, according to the Malaysian newspaper Berita Harian.
"My client has already given instructions to file, and I am preparing both the reconciliation and divorce processes. We will file at any time."
“She is resolute and had actually already instructed us to act. Yesterday, she gave instructions to proceed immediately,” he was quoted saying.
In March 2023, she filed for divorce in the same court, citing irreconcilable differences, prolonged disputes, and an inability to continue living together as husband and wife, the Malay Mail reported.
The couple legally divorced on Aug. 10, 2023, but reconciled a few weeks later on Aug. 31, 2023.
Diana has not disclosed the reason for her latest divorce filing.
Kamil has also yet to comment on the matter.
The couple married in November 2012 and have two children, Muhammad, 11, and Nur Aurora, 9.
