Model May Tager gave her first public comments on Tuesday morning about her breakup with reality TV personality Yiftach Ramon, after news surfaced earlier in the week that the couple had ended their relationship after almost two years together. She spoke at the launch of designer Dror Conteño’s eyewear brand and said the separation was painful, but not dramatic.
Asked how she was coping, Tager said, “Like any breakup, it’s of course hard and sad and painful, but there is nothing to do. You deal with it, it’s part of life.” She added that heartbreak is a process, saying, “Every breakup is heartbreak, clearly. In the end, two people who were together, best friends, split up. So yes, it hurts.”
Explaining why things ended, she said there was “a mature understanding” between them that the relationship was probably less suitable at this stage. “It was so good and amazing, but over time we understood that it was no longer right,” she said. Tager also said the decision to go public was not theirs, explaining that they had wanted the breakup kept private, but once it was out they decided to speak openly and “pull off the bandage.”
Tager said she was not surprised the split became public, since some time passed before the news broke and both had time to process it and tell close friends and family. Asked if they still talk, she answered, “Yes and no,” adding that they remain on good terms and “very much love each other” as good friends. She said she is not in favor of staying in contact with exes, and would not rule out reconciliation directly, but made clear the breakup was a serious decision. Since then, she said she has adjusted by staying busy with friends, family and exercise, and hopes to keep being herself, stay happy and learn to cope when things are difficult.
