Hindi nakaiwas si Yasmien Kurdi sa tanong ng entertainment press tungkol sa kanyang relihiyon ngayon. Matatandaang miyembro ng Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) ang Sa Piling Ni Nanay star pero nagpakasal siya sa isang non-member na si Rey Soldevilla, Jr. May isang anak na sila ngayon na si Ayesha Zara.

“Siguro po kung ano ‘yung sa husband ko, ‘yun po ang sinusunod ko. Kung nasaan po siya,” paliwanag ni Yasmien. Naging dahilan din ang kasal nila para magkaroon sila ng tampuhan ng kanyang ina. Pero ngayon daw ay maayos na ang kanilang relasyon at tanggap na nito ang naging desisyon ng anak. “Ang hirap din po kasi. Magkaiba po kasi ng paniniwala ang mom and dad ko. ‘Yung isa Muslim, ‘yung isa Iglesia, so mahirap po talaga nung time na ikakasal na kami. Mahirap sa kanilang dalawa kung ano po ‘yung pipiliin dahil magkaiba po sila ng gusto.”

Personal life

In 2013, Kurdi revealed to Philippine Entertainment Portal that she is already married to Rey Soldevilla, who is a pilot. in January 2012 Together, they have a daughter named Ayesha Zara, whose name means “bright flower” in the Hindu language., Soldevilla is from Zamboanga City but Kurdi’s mother is against her marriage.^[16][17]

Conversion to Roman Catholicism

Raised in the Iglesia ni Cristo faith, Kurdi converted to her husband’s Roman Catholic faith upon their marriage in January 25,2012. This is because the Iglesia ni Cristo strictly forbids its members from getting married to a person from another faith unless the latter converts to the Iglesia ni Cristo faith, and any member violating such doctrine would merit an automatic expulsion. Her relationship with Soldevilla and eventual conversion initially became a sore issue with her family, which wasn’t resolved until her mother Miriam attended Ayesha’s first birthday party in 2013 ^{[4][17][18][19][20]}

SPLENDOR:

WELCOME HOME TO THE CATHOLIC CHURCH YASMIEN. NICE JOB TO PILOT REY SOLDEVILLA JR. HE HE HE… GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY.
