  • Married At First Sight stars Avitar Kahana and Neta Menashe have separated again.
  • Kahana confirmed the breakup on Instagram, citing the need to acknowledge reality.
  • The couple previously broke up after filming but later reconciled.
  • Kahana expressed sadness over hurting fans who believed in their relationship.
  • Rumors of their separation had circulated in August but were seemingly disproven in September.

Avitar Kahana, one of the stars of the Israeli reality show "Married At First Sight," confirmed on Monday that he and Neta Menashe have separated. The couple, who met on the eighth season of the show, had previously broken up after filming but later reconciled. Kahana, 39, revealed the news in an Instagram Stories Q&A session when a follower directly asked if they were still together.

"The truth is I didn't want to talk about it, certainly not here," Kahana wrote in response. "But apparently, there's no escaping giving it space and acknowledging the reality. First, acknowledging that it's over, and that we are no longer together. And also understanding that it hurts other people, who in addition to us believed in us and in our relationship. They hoped and believed that the connection would overcome the differences, and the similarities would overcome the dissimilarities, and that they too would have their hearts broken by this separation."

Kahana, who admitted the public sharing was difficult for him, stated he did not wish to elaborate further, feeling he had already shared too much. Menashe is 32 years old. The couple's reunion was reportedly influenced by a birthday message Menashe sent Kahana in June and their viewing of shared episodes, as Kahana mentioned in a previous interview with mako celebrities. Despite their reconciliation, rumors of a crisis and separation resurfaced in late August, but paparazzi photos in early September showed them together in Tel Aviv, seemingly dispelling the rumors at the time.
