Reality Star Mai Hatuel Tearfully Admits She's Still Recovering Post-Divorce

Reality television personality Mai Hatuel is candidly sharing her struggles three months after announcing her divorce from Itay, her husband of four years and partner of eight. Hatuel, 32, who gained fame on "The Race for a Million," posted a raw and emotional message on Instagram detailing her difficult adjustment to life as a single woman. She admitted she is not yet in a "strong place" but is on her way to recovery.

In her post, accompanied by photos of her in various states of emotional distress, including crying, Hatuel reflected on the pain of separations. "The worst separations are those that force me to separate from myself," she wrote, describing the heartbreak of losing loved ones and familiar places. She acknowledged that she is not offering an overly optimistic message, stating, "No. I'm not good at this and there's no strengthening message here, sorry. I'm just not in a strong place yet but I'm on my way and I will be."

Hatuel previously revealed that the decision to divorce was not sudden. After eight years together, she and Itay discussed starting a family, a conversation that ultimately led to their separation. She also mentioned in a prior interview that she didn't see children fitting into her life at that time. Her participation in "The Race for a Million" and the subsequent public exposure added complexity to their relationship, though she clarified it was not the reason for their split.

Since the separation, Hatuel has moved with their shared dog, Leo, to a new apartment in Jaffa. She is now focusing on rediscovering herself after eight years of not knowing who she was as an individual.
