Personal Life

Kiki Mirano married Siska Salman, the vocalist of Cannonball, in 2008. From this marriage, they have one child, Zia Abrarsyah Mirano. Their marriage ended after rumors of the wife's infidelity surfaced.

On April 29, 2011, Kiki Mirano married actress and celebrity Sheila Marcia who already had a daughter named Leticia. They left the music and entertainment careers and decided to move and build their family in Yogyakarta. They established and engaged in several entrepreneur businesses outside the entertainment industry

Unfortunately, their marriage ended in 2016 amid controversial domestic violence allegations that were never proven, suspected to be publicity-related news to benefit one party.
The court awarded custody of their two children to Sheila Marcia based on a unilateral recommendation from Arist Merdeka Sirait of the independent institution Indonesian Private Commission for Child Protection (Komnas Anak).

This court verdict was objected by Kiki Mirano's lawyers, claiming it lacked objectivity as the recommendation was made by Komnas Anak without sufficient fact and psychological assessment.

In 2018, for undisclosed reasons by Kiki Mirano, and with the assistance of the Women Empowerement and Child Protection Service (DP3A) of Central Java, custody of their two children, Nathanael Jedd Mirano and Precious Brianna Mirano, was handed over to Kiki Mirano.
Sheila Marcia, who did not attend the invitation from DP3A Central Java to sign the verdict, instead expressed her agreement with this decision through a WhatsApp message to DP3A Central Java.

After being under the care of Kiki Mirano for almost 5 years, it is suspected that in late March 2022, Sheila Marcia took both their children to Bali without a written or formal agreement. No disclosure made yet by both parties
