Ruben Onsu Faces Custody Battle Amid Infidelity Claims and Health Hoaxes

Sarwendah publicly accused presenter Ruben Onsu of multiple infidelities, first revealing a 2017 incident and later alleging further affairs that involved large secret expenditures during a period of financial difficulty. A CCTV recording of a heated argument between the couple was released, with Ruben’s lawyer Minola Sebayang explaining that only a selective clip was shown to support evidence in the ongoing custody dispute.

The Jakarta South Court has scheduled a mediation hearing for 6 August 2026, where Ruben seeks sole custody of their three children. Sebayang said the legal team has gathered health documentation and other proof to strengthen Ruben’s case. The couple’s conflict has also sparked false rumors about Ruben’s health, including unfounded claims that he is HIV‑positive, prompting his lawyer to warn against spreading unverified information and to consider legal action against those responsible.

Ruben responded on Instagram, questioning the origins of the controversy, while other public figures such as Zanzabella voiced support for Sarwendah. The dispute continues to dominate Indonesian entertainment news and social‑media discussion.
