In 2010, Happy married Tjokordan Bagus Dwi Santana Kerthayasa, a prince of Ubud, Bali, after which she slowly scaled back on her movie and TV appearances.

Empowering women is at the heart of their work, with the company being composed mostly of women.

As a member of the royal family of Ubud, she has also become a prominent figure introducing Indonesia’s culture, Bali especially, through many different platforms and media. Considering her background, there are few who would be better than she is at interpreting traditional Indonesian clothing for modern times.
