Ben Zini and Taylor Malkov

This is probably the couple's relationship that managed to provoke the biggest media and public storm to date.

The duo, who mixed business and pleasure, turned the professional relationship into a romantic one when Zini was reportedly between 21, and Malkov was not yet 16. After her 16th birthday, the two agreed to admit their relationship, which of course created a media and public storm, which dealt with the problematic nature of such a relationship, which began As mentioned when Malkov was still considered a minor according to the law.

Since then the two managed to part with a big noise.

Zini hasn't really found his other half yet, but the 20-year-old Malkov again chose a partner who is older than her, and is in a long-term relationship with the 31-year-old singer Liran Danino.

Long before the famous singer teamed up with Yael Shelbia, and the two boarded a one-way plane to Dubai, Adam sang love songs in Toledano's ears.

Yael Shelvia and Brandon Korf

The other half of the most famous relationship in Israel at the moment, 21-year-old Yael Shelvia, previously joined hands and hearts with the American billionaire Brandon Korff.

As expected, many wondered if this relationship had a future with such an age gap, and the issue of marriage and starting a family became the million dollar question.

Shelvia moved rather quickly to be comforted in the arms of Adam, and Korf continued in the same line, and is currently in a relationship with the 20-year-old model Yuli Hamo.

Mosh Ben Ari and Jenny Zabisha

Similar to Rotem Cohen and Shay Sagi, Ben Ari (51) and Zabisha (27) also took a lot of hits on the web about their relationship, with an age gap of 24 years.

In 2021, Zabisha even posted an angry story with a threat of a lawsuit, after a post mocking her and Ben Ari's relationship appeared on the simple successful Facebook page.

She wrote: "I have already realized that there are small people in our world, who cannot contain the fact that love exists in all types and colors, that love has no age and in our case it has been working for almost seven years. And even if it did not survive two weeks, it does not give legitimacy to anyone to transfer criticizing or making fun of our feelings on the Internet. This is none of your business and no one asked for your opinion or at your disposal," she wrote angrily and added: "You've come out of all the holes for me already," noting that if she had the time and mental strength, she would have sued the person who raised the The post about libel.

In the end, love also survived the talkbackists, and the two, who started dating when Zabisha was 20 and Ben Ari was 48, got engaged in 2019.
