Presenter Maayan Adam, 38, and her partner Yuval Zellner, 48, have welcomed their first son together. The baby boy joins their two daughters, Tabor and Kdam, and Zellner's daughter Amit from a previous relationship. Adam shared the happy news on Instagram, posting a photo with the newborn and a ring emoji, indicating their engagement. "It was so worth waiting for him," she wrote.

The couple, who have been together since 2022, had their first child together, Tabor, in April 2023, followed by Kdam in June 2024. This pregnancy came as a surprise, as Adam had previously shared that a tumor diagnosis meant she could no longer conceive naturally. They had been preparing to undergo surrogacy when Adam discovered she was pregnant in March.

Adam had previously revealed the moment she discovered her pregnancy, initially showing shock before joy. A month later, the couple held a gender reveal party, announcing they were expecting a boy by spraying blue paint. Zellner had also briefly revealed the baby's gender on social media prior to the official announcement.
