The decision was surprising because Kimberly and Edward's marriage of six years had almost no scandal. Moreover, the power of love between the actors of the movie I Love You Before I Met You and her husband had previously passed the test when they had to endure a long-distance relationship.

"Although both have a career in the entertainment industry, Kimberly Ryder and Edward Akbar only met for the first time when they were involved in a film project titled Air Terjun Pengantin Phuket in 2013. A year later, they appeared together again in the film Runaway."

After working on two film projects together, Kimberly Ryder and Edward Akbar became closer as friends. Who would have thought, after finishing shooting, Kimberly became interested in Edward Akbar. Their relationship also became more intimate until they finally decided to pursue a romantic relationship as a couple.

The relationship between Kimberly and Edward was tested when they had to undergo a long-distance relationship (LDR). This condition occurred after Kimberly decided to continue her studies in London, England. Despite rarely meeting in person, they were able to get through 2 years of LDR before deciding to get married.

Edward Akbar feels confident to marry Kimberly because of her obedience in carrying out religious commands. He witnessed Kimberly diligently performing the dawn prayer. Edward expressed this confession when he was invited to a television event.

After two years of dating, Edward Akbar and Kimberly decided to get married on August 26, 2018. The wedding was held in a simple manner and only attended by family and closest friends. This simplicity made the wedding moment of this celebrity couple more sacred.

This couple becomes more romantic and affectionate after getting married. Both of them are not hesitant to share their affection on social media and are considered as a perfect couple. Kimberly and Edward are also seen as couple goals because their married life is rarely affected by malicious gossip.

After getting married, Edward and Kimberly have two children, a boy and a girl. Their family looks so happy with the presence of these two adorable children. They often share pictures together with their two children on their Instagram feed.

However, all the intimacy suddenly collapsed when Kimberly filed for divorce from Edward on July 12, 2024 at the Central Jakarta Religious Court. Until now, the reasons behind Kimberly's decision to end her marriage with Edward are still shrouded in mystery.
