Personal life

Kamal was previously in a relationship with actress Intan Ladyana for over 6 years, but they broke up after six years together. However, the breakup was unacceptable to Kamal who still hopes that their romance can be resumed. According to Kamal, he was disappointed with this breakup and did not expect Intan to leave him just like that after 6 years of love. Nowadays Kamal is still single and focuses a lot on his career. He is also embroiled in gossip about his relationship with Uqasha Senrose because they were very close while working together in the drama ''Setelah Terlafaznya Akad''. However, the two are often seen together and Kamal is also often involved in Uqasha's family events. The director of the latest drama Perempuan Tanpa Dosa''' currently airing on Astro Ria, Michael Ang tried to debunk the gossip that Kamal and Uqasha had gone to a marriage course when there was no filming session between them in October on Michael's Instagram, but they did not give any indication that what Michael said was true. On December 20, 2020, after presenting the awards for the categories of "Group/Duo Meletop Era", "Lagu Meletop Era" and "Penyanyi Meletop Era" at the Anugerah MeleTOP Era, Kamal dared to propose to Uqasha as his wife who was also his partner in presenting the award, live. Uqasha, who was surprised by the spontaneous proposal, accepted Kamal's proposal. They tied the knot on April 4, 2021 and were married on November 5, 2021 last year in a ceremony held in private.
