Israeli media personality and social media influencer Maayan Adam and her partner Yuval Tzelner have welcomed their second son, named Eito. The baby was born last Tuesday and is a brother to Adam's two children, Tabor and Kedem, and Tzelner's daughter Amit from a previous marriage. The couple also became engaged recently. The naming ceremony, a Brit Milah, was celebrated on Saturday, where the unique name Eito was revealed. Adam had previously hinted that the name was special and potentially the first child in Israel to bear it, describing it as a beautiful Hebrew word found in the Bible and songs, and not pretentious.
Adam shared the meaning behind the name Eito, writing, "Our child, your existence is proof that everything comes in its time, when fate chooses it, precisely and logically... It is your time, Eito, go devour it." The announcement of the surprise pregnancy came in March, with Adam explaining that fate had other plans just before they were to begin surrogacy. She expressed joy and anticipation for the baby's arrival, wishing a happy holiday and a "fruit of the womb soon to all who yearn."
This natural pregnancy was particularly surprising and emotional for Adam, who was diagnosed in September 2024 with a rare ovarian cancer. The tumor was discovered after an unusual cyst did not disappear following the birth of her second daughter, Kedem. The diagnosis meant Adam would be unable to conceive and carry another child herself.
