Sarita Abdul Mukti and her former husband, Faisal Harris, have settled into a routine of harmonious co-parenting, relying on a shared WhatsApp group to bridge the distance created by their divorce.
Despite no longer sharing a home, the two remain in constant contact, coordinating the lives of their now-adult children with a level of ease that defies the typical post-separation narrative.
The architecture of their relationship sits firmly within a family group chat. The digital thread includes both parents and their children, ensuring a direct line of communication for daily updates and support.
“Now my relationship with my ex is really good. We have one group containing mother, father, and the children. So there is not the slightest gap, we are just relaxed, chatting every day,” Sarita said during an appearance at the Morning Ambyar studio in Mampang, South Jakarta, on November 11, 2026.
The group chat acts as more than a logistical tool; it serves as a venue for lighthearted banter. Sarita recently shared an anecdote regarding her recovery from plastic surgery procedures, including a facelift and a nose revision performed in Bangkok, Thailand.
In a moment of levity, Sarita teased Faisal in the group, asking him to cover the cost of her travel ticket after she had already exhausted significant funds on the surgeries. “Enak banget ya, yang modalin aku, yang nikmatin suami baru!” Faisal Harris said in a quip about her having a new husband while he funded her travel that prompted their children to label him jealous.
“We are just full of jokes in that group, not serious, just for fun. Maintaining the harmonization of a family that indeed no longer lives together,” Sarita said.
The family prioritizes in-person gatherings for milestones such as Lebaran, children's birthdays, and scheduled weekend meals. Sarita maintains that even with Faisal starting a new family and their children entering adulthood, the commitment to functioning as a solid unit remains unchanged.
While the cadence of their weekend meals and holiday reunions is well-established, the long-term logistics of their evolving family dynamic remain a private matter between the parties.
