Shuli Rand and Michal Rand Officially Divorce After Decade-Long Legal Battle

After more than a decade of separation and a bitter legal struggle, Israeli singer Shuli Rand and his ex-wife Michal Rand have officially finalized their divorce. The couple, both 64, who share seven children and a complex history including financial difficulties and religious shifts, met at the rabbinate on August 25, 2026, to complete the divorce process. Michal expressed relief on her Facebook live, thanking supporters and noting she received 180,000 shekels, which she called "the real news of redemption." She also shared a surprising personal connection with Shuli's new partner, TV host Tzofit Grant, revealing they share the same heart condition and medication.

The divorce had been stalled for years due to Michal's refusal to grant Shuli a religious divorce (get), which legally bound them despite their separation in 2016. This refusal led to a prolonged public feud filled with mutual accusations. The conflict intensified when Shuli began a relationship with Tzofit Grant, culminating in a rare rabbinical court approval allowing Shuli to marry a second wife despite still being married on paper. Their wedding was kept secret until shortly before the ceremony due to fears of provocations from Michal.

Michal publicly accused Shuli of economic abuse and neglecting their children, while Shuli's supporters denied these claims, labeling them manipulative. Michal also filed multimillion-shekel lawsuits, claiming she built Shuli's brand but was left destitute and had to stay in a shelter for abused women. Tzofit Grant defended Shuli, calling Michal's allegations false and describing the situation as tragic. She noted that she herself faced public harassment due to the accusations.

With the divorce now official, Tzofit Grant expressed hope for a peaceful new chapter for all involved. The resolution ends a long and highly publicized chapter in the lives of Shuli and Michal Rand, marked by personal and legal turmoil.
