  • Maayan Adam is expecting her third child after a cancer diagnosis.
  • She is deeply mourning her sister, Mayfal Adam, killed on October 7th.
  • Adam shared emotional reflections on her sister's absence during childbirth.
  • The third anniversary of the October 7th attacks is approaching.

Media personality and social media influencer Maayan Adam is preparing for the birth of her third child, a son, with partner Yuval Tzelner. This pregnancy comes after Adam shared that she would be unable to conceive or carry another child herself, following a rare ovarian cancer diagnosis in September 2024. As the third anniversary of the October 7th events approaches, Adam is openly expressing her pain and longing for her younger sister, Mayfal Adam, who was murdered in the Nova music festival massacre. Adam described placing a photo of her sister near the bag she will take to the delivery room, fearing she might forget her sister in the excitement of labor. She recounted an incident where a new cleaner moved the photo, causing her significant pain and making her question what had become normal for her. Recalling the birth of her daughter Tabor, Adam remembered how Mayfal was present, making them laugh through her tears and expressing excitement for her own future child. Adam expressed her deep sorrow that Mayfal will not be present for her son's birth, nor will she be able to visit and share in the joy, as Adam had imagined. Reflecting on the upcoming anniversary of her sister's death, Adam stated it feels strange to have a day of mourning when all she desires is a single ordinary day where her mother is happy and her family is whole.
