Illusionist Demian Aditya has confirmed that his professional relationship with former wife Sara Wijayanto remains intact following their divorce.
Despite the legal dissolution of their 12-year marriage, the pair continues to collaborate on projects to ensure the stability of their shared business and to uphold their responsibilities toward their employees.
The couple, who officially married on May 22, 2014, had their marriage legally dissolved by the South Jakarta Religious Court on October 8, 2026. The court granted the divorce via a verstek ruling after Demian failed to attend two scheduled hearings. Sara had initiated the legal proceedings by filing her lawsuit on September 8, 2026, with the initial hearing taking place on September 24, 2026.
Speaking in West Jakarta on November 12, 2026, during the gala premiere of People Pleaser: Si Paling Gak Enakan at Central Park, Demian emphasized that his interactions with Sara are now strictly limited to professional matters.
“Antara saya sebelumnya nikah sama Sara sampai akhirnya udah berpisah. Tapi kan untuk urusan kerjaan, karena kita pernah bikin kerjaan ini bareng, jadi bukan berarti harus berakhir juga, karena di belakang kita kan ada orang-orang yang emang kerja bareng kita,” kata Demian Aditya.
“Hubungan cuma sebatas kerjaan,” kata Demian kepada media.
While the two remain under the same management, their face-to-face contact has decreased significantly since the separation. Demian said that while he previously met with Sara at their office on a weekly basis, he has only seen her there twice since the divorce became official two months ago.
This shift is largely due to Demian focusing on new projects, including vertical film content and the expansion of the Horortainment application to include new creators. If previously Diary Misteri Sara (DMS) was the sole creator on the platform, many others have since joined.
Demian, 46, said that he does not wish to dwell on the details of the divorce, noting that the period for such discussions has passed. He expressed concern that revisiting the topic would feel like regressing. Regarding his personal life, he said that the primary difference since the separation is simply living alone.
“Ya sama aja, bedanya cuma ya sekarang ya hidupnya sendiri, kalau kemarin hidupnya ada yang nemenin, gitu aja sih. Gak ada perbedaan yang lainnya,” pungkas Demian Aditya.
Demian also said that he has not experienced major changes in his life since the divorce, continuing his routine while juggling his busy schedule, which frequently keeps him away from the office.
