  • Shir Halel revealed she is pregnant with her second child by David Azulai, Mor Maman's fiancé.
  • Halel claims Azulai asked her to terminate the pregnancy, which she refused.
  • Azulai and Maman are celebrating their second engagement after a previous divorce.
  • Halel experienced a similar situation during her first pregnancy with Azulai.
  • Azulai denies the claims, calling them an attempt to extort money and slander his name.

As former beauty queen Mor Maman and David Azulai celebrate their surprise reconciliation and second engagement, a new controversy has emerged. Shir Halel, Azulai's ex-partner and mother of his eldest son, Or, revealed in an interview on the "Suissa + 1" podcast that she is currently pregnant with their second child. Halel stated that after Azulai and Maman's divorce in June, her relationship with Azulai intensified. They spent weekends together, planned to live together, and discussed more children. However, Halel claims Azulai reacted negatively to her current pregnancy, allegedly asking her to terminate it and stating he couldn't connect with another child as he struggled to connect with their son Or. Halel refused the abortion request and asked him to leave.

Halel described the situation as a painful déjà vu, recalling that Azulai left their shared home during her first pregnancy with Or. Three weeks later, she discovered through a photo that he had become engaged to Maman, a marriage that ended in divorce. Now, history appears to be repeating itself. Days after learning of her new pregnancy and shortly before Rosh Hashanah, Halel discovered Maman was back in the picture, followed by the announcement of Azulai and Maman's renewed engagement. "This time I didn't fall on the floor and cry. This time I smiled and looked at my son," Halel said, emphasizing her priority is her son's stability.

David Azulai responded to the allegations, calling it a private matter and stating he has no intention of conducting his life through the media. He affirmed full responsibility for his children, pays monthly child support as ordered by the court, and believes this is an attempt to slander his name and extort money. He added that the matter is being handled by the appropriate legal authorities.
