Early and personal life

Rima Adams was born to an Australian-Thailand father, Ronald Adams and a Singapore-Malay mother, Satifah Ali. She was a Miss [Singapore Universe] 2001 finalist.
Adams was first married to Davin James Cook, with whom she has a son, Edga Ian Cook.
Her second marriage is to Marcell Siahaan and from this she has 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.
Rima is the youngest sister of Malaysian actor Haeriyanto Hassan.
