Children's Star Rinat Gabai Confirms Split From Younger Boyfriend

Israeli children's entertainer Rinat Gabai has confirmed her separation from her boyfriend, Moshe Matanel (Moshiko) Guetta, who is 17 years her junior. Gabai, known as 'Rinat Queen of the Kids,' revealed the news during an appearance on the podcast "Tom Baum's Game Room." She stated that while she is currently single, her past relationship was "amazing."

Gabai, who recently went through a divorce from her husband of 30 years and manager Doron Mor, a move to Tiberias, and a turn towards religious observance with the Breslov Hasidic movement, is also embracing life as a grandmother. She acknowledged shared experiences with Guetta, including attending nature parties, but expressed sadness over the breakup, noting the difficulty of continuing such activities without him.

When asked about the possibility of remaining friends and attending parties together, Gabai explained that she did not want to appear needy or constantly reach out to him. She emphasized her desire for independence and to avoid being a burden.

Gabai began her career at age 12 as an opera singer and has since voiced iconic characters like Belle in "Beauty and the Beast" and Mulan. She has starred in numerous children's productions and continues to create new music that also appeals to adult audiences, reflecting her current life experiences.
