Personal life

edit

On 1 December 1999, Mohede married his childhood friend, the singer Amara who he was dating since 1991.[9] The couple are not in the same religious denomination, so since Indonesian law makes it difficult to do interfaith marriage since 1974,[10] the couple had a civil marriage to Hong Kong.[11]

They are the parents of three sons: Mahija Nathaniel Sambarana Aryantawira (born 8 June 2004), Janitra Nathaniel Sambawikrama (born on 8 September 2006) and Rajaswa Nathaniel Singkarawang Mohede (born on 17 October 2008).[12]
