Rumours of marital woes between the two sparked as early as October last year, though both parties had given no response to it.

Syamsul tied the knot with Ira, real name Faghirah Fatini, in January last year in a ceremony held in Southern Thailand. The news came amid the divorce battle between him and his then wife Puteri Sarah Liyana, who had been alleging that Syamsul was cheating on her with Ira.
