Actress Kim Or Azulay and Basketball Player Yiftach Ziv Welcome First Son
Actress and fashionista Kim Or Azulay, 23, and her partner, basketball player Yiftach Ziv, 30, have become parents to their first son. The couple, who married in July last year, announced the birth on August 29, 2026, via Azulay's Instagram account, sharing a photo from the hospital with their newborn and writing, "Mom and Dad were waiting for you." The baby was born the day before, on Friday.
Azulay and Ziv had revealed the pregnancy in a heartfelt video posted earlier, showing them at a farm with Azulay's pregnant belly. In the video, Azulay emotionally asks Ziv, "Do you realize we're going to be parents?" They also disclosed the baby's gender in a sponsored video collaboration with the baby food brand Materna and the Arkafa network.
The sponsored content sparked criticism from some followers who objected to Azulay promoting a baby formula brand before giving birth, accusing her of preemptively deciding not to breastfeed. Despite the backlash, the couple continues to share their journey publicly.
