Israeli singer Netta Barzilai, winner of the Eurovision Song Contest, has reportedly joined the dating app Bumble, signaling a new chapter in her romantic life. Nearly a year after her breakup with ex-boyfriend Guy Rafael, Barzilai's active profile on the app features personal details and photos from her daily life. The profile, verified by Bumble, lists her name and age, 32, and includes various images, one of which shows her in striking attire with both hands extended towards the camera.
Barzilai and Rafael ended their year-and-a-half relationship in November 2025, stating at the time that the separation was amicable. Later in 2026, Barzilai shared details about Rafael's struggle with post-traumatic stress disorder following the death of his friend, Gilad Molecho, during reserve duty in Lebanon. She described how her attempts to help him led her to take on a "rescuer" role.
Barzilai explained that during this period, she stopped working and creating, distancing herself from family and friends, until she recognized the need to address her own situation. She channeled these experiences into her latest album, 'Serenade.' In late May, she announced on social media that after a year of personal neglect due to the crisis, she was resuming self-care routines and establishing a regular schedule. Her new Bumble profile marks a return to the dating scene alongside her ongoing musical endeavors.
