No Longer Hiding: Maggie Tabibi and Avi Kahkon Officially Launch Their Relationship

Last week, Walla Celebs told you for the first time about the intriguing relationship between media personalities Maggie Tabibi and Avi Kahkon, who had kept their relationship quiet and out of the cameras’ view. Last night, Tuesday, they decided to make it official, appearing together in public for the first time.

Tabibi, 31, and Kahkon, 50, who have been dating for several months, arrived together yesterday at the bat mitzvah celebration for Tehila, the youngest daughter of Lior and Sapir Narkis, held at the Avenue events venue in Kiryat Sde Airport. As noted, this was the pair’s first public appearance, as they usually keep their private lives to themselves. Kahkon, host of the Keshet 12 program “Kemo Shabbat Shalom,” and Tabibi, host of Channel 14’s main news edition, met several years ago while working at Channel 24. The two were friends for a long time, and a few months ago their platonic relationship turned romantic. Kahkon divorced a little more than a year ago from Rali, whom he had been married to for 22 years, during which they had four children.
