The award-winning artist also strongly disapproves of promiscuity, emphasising that he lives with intention and discipline.

Rema’s remarks come at a time when many celebrities choose alternative family structures. However, the singer stands firm in his beliefs, making it clear that he values stability and long-term planning.
