Pesulap Merah, whose real name is Marcel Radhival, has confirmed practicing polygamy since 2022 following the death of his first wife, Tika Mega Lestari. In a live broadcast, he revealed the identity of his second wife, Ratu Rizky Nabila, who is pregnant. The admission comes amid grief to dispel rumors on social media.
Marcel Radhival, known as Pesulap Merah, has once again drawn public attention not for his magic acts, but for his personal life. On February 6, 2026, in a live broadcast reshared on TikTok by the account @michaelfor62, he admitted to having two wives since 2022. "Tadinya (punya 2 istri) dari tahun 2022. Cuma kemarin istri pertama saya meninggal makanya ini masih dalam kondisi berduka," he said.
His first wife, Tika Mega Lestari, had recently passed away, leaving deep sorrow. The polygamy issue, previously discussed, has resurfaced on social media. To clarify, Pesulap Merah confirmed his second wife is Ratu Rizky Nabila, the ex-wife of footballer Alfath Fathier. During the broadcast, Nabila accompanied him, reinforcing the statement.
He also verified rumors of Nabila's pregnancy. "Iya betul, Nabila lagi hamil, betul," he stated firmly in response to netizens' questions. Pesulap Merah expressed surprise at the renewed focus. "Pas istri pertama saya meninggal, mulai muncul kan, daripada simpang siur ya sudah diiyain saja, memang iya betul," he added. He recalled a joint live session with both wives: "Kita pernah live bertiga guys, saya, istri pertama, istri kedua, ngobrol bareng, jawab-jawabin pertanyaan netizen."
However, he refused to disclose reasons for polygamy. "Adalah alasannya, alasannya itu ada dari aib istri pertama, ada aib istri kedua. Ada aib masing-masing yang nggak bisa saya ceritakan," he asserted, protecting sensitive privacy.
