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 news on Instagram, posting a photo with the newborn and a ring emoji, indicating their engagement. She wrote, "It was so worth waiting for him."

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 had made it unlikely she could conceive naturally. They had been preparing to undergo surrogacy when Adam discovered she was pregnant in March.

Adam had previously revealed the pregnancy with a mix of shock and joy, and the couple later held a gender reveal party where they announced they were expecting a boy. Zellner, a former Knesset member for the Kadima party, had briefly hinted at the baby's gender on social media before the official reveal.
