Early and personal life

Adams was first married to Davin James Cook, with whom she had a son, Edga Ian Cook.

Her second marriage is to Marcell Siahaan and from this she had a son named Seth Ananda Siahaan. This marriage was criticised by the Malay-Muslim community in Singapore and Malaysia as it did not abide by the Shari’aah law because of the couple’s non-conforming decision to have a civil wedding. Shortly after their wedding, she left the Singapore entertainment industry and moved to Jakarta to be with Marcell and did not work for one year.
