Israeli actress and singer Liraz Charhi is in a new relationship approximately one year after her separation from actor and director Tome Avni. Charhi, 47, is reportedly dating Benjamin Lenfant, a 45-year-old DJ, former private jet pilot, nightlife figure, and former simulator instructor who resides in Jaffa. The couple has been together for about six months, with a brief separation in between, and they are keeping their relationship private.

Charhi and Avni announced their split in October 2025 after 16 years together, during which they were considered a stable and popular couple in the entertainment industry. They share two daughters. Charhi posted on Instagram at the time of their separation, expressing gratitude for their years together and stating they were moving forward on separate paths, emphasizing that love would remain.

Despite their separation, Charhi and Avni have maintained a good relationship, particularly for their children. They recently celebrated their elder daughter's bat mitzvah together. The couple began dating in 2009, a relationship that surprised some due to a seven-year age difference. They married in Eilat four years later, and their first daughter, John, was born shortly after. Their second daughter, Noor, was born in 2018.

Prior to her relationship with Avni, Charhi was married to musician Ziv Kozokaro. They married in September 2004 and separated six years later.
