Israeli Actress Omer Nudelman and Shon Simnovitz Announce Engagement After Two Years Together

Israeli actress Omer Nudelman and businessman Shon Simnovitz are set to marry on September 24 after dating for two and a half years. Their relationship began after years of casual acquaintance within shared social circles, but only changed when they unexpectedly locked eyes on the road, sparking Nudelman's interest. At the time, both were recently single, with Nudelman having ended an engagement to businessman Ido Breniker and Simnovitz having been single for about a year.

Their connection deepened after Nudelman introduced her new ragdoll cat, Marie, on social media in early 2024, prompting Simnovitz to reach out. This led to several meetings, including romantic evenings at Nudelman's family home in a moshav. Simnovitz, 32, comes from a prominent family but has built his career in cybersecurity and startups, currently managing business development at Jurni AI. Nudelman, 28, transitioned from modeling and reality TV to acting, recently joining the cast of the Festigal.

After four months of dating, Nudelman moved in with Simnovitz in Tel Aviv. In October during a three-week trip to New York, Simnovitz proposed to Nudelman in Central Park, a moment captured by a hidden photographer. The couple shared the news immediately with their families, with Simnovitz having asked Nudelman's father for permission beforehand.

Nudelman expressed excitement about their upcoming wedding and plans to start a family soon, inspired by seeing Simnovitz with his nephews. The couple described their relationship as slow-building but deeply meaningful, with their first kiss sparking strong feelings. They plan to celebrate their wedding during a football off-season to accommodate Simnovitz's brother-in-law, Spanish footballer Sergi Roberto, who is married to Simnovitz's sister, model Coral Simnovitz.
