Alona Erez and Tamir Levi from “Next Star” Publicly Confirm Romance for the First Time
Contestants from the latest season of the hit musical project “The Next Star” (HaKokhav HaBa), Alona Erez and Tamir Levi, have officially announced their romantic relationship. The young artists, whose televised career rise was closely followed by the entire country, decided to reveal their secret in the most creative way possible—right during a live concert in front of hundreds of surprised fans.
The official confirmation of the rumors took place at Tamir Levi’s solo performance in Tel Aviv, where he invited Alona as a special guest to perform a duet together. At the end of the song, the couple unexpectedly kissed in front of the audience, drawing roaring applause from the crowd. As it later turned out, their romance began behind the scenes of the reality show’s set and has been going on for over six months.
In interviews with Israeli media, the newly formed couple admitted that they intentionally hid their feelings from the press and fans during the show’s broadcast. According to the artists, it was extremely important for them to strengthen their relationship away from television cameras, headlines, and public pressure to ensure the sincerity of each other’s intentions. Only after the completion of the finale, where Alona Erez finished in fourth place, did the couple feel ready to step into the spotlight.
