Chef Tom Aviv Debuts New Romance With Fashion Designer Orit Bakar
Israeli chef Tom Aviv has introduced fashion designer Orit Bakar as his new partner, a year after his previous high-profile engagement was called off.
Renowned Israeli chef Tom Aviv has officially turned a new page in his romantic life, introducing fashion designer Orit Bakar as his new partner over the weekend. The couple's relationship comes roughly a year after Aviv called off his high-profile engagement.
Bakar, 43, is a well-known figure within the local entertainment and fashion industry, having collaborated closely with prominent Israeli celebrities such as Itay Levi, Lee Biran, and Itay Turgeman. Her extensive professional background includes working at prestigious fashion week events, making her no stranger to the spotlight.
The relationship was made public when Bakar shared a photo on social media of a special gift sent by the 38-year-old chef, accompanied by the caption, "He knows what I like." This was followed by affectionate elevator selfies and intimate couple portraits confirming their new romance.
This fresh chapter follows a tumultuous period for Aviv, whose previous relationship with Muriel Levi experienced numerous ups and downs. After initially splitting, the pair reunited in late 2024 and subsequently got engaged. However, the couple ultimately called off the wedding and parted ways in October 2025, with a subsequent brief reconciliation attempt also failing. Now, Aviv appears ready to move forward with his new relationship.
