Idan Malka Joins Ex Yuval Raphael's Talent Agency Following Split
Idan Malka has joined Yuli Agency, the management company of his ex-partner and Eurovision 2025 star Yuval Raphael, marking a professional reunion months after their split.
Two and a half months after their surprising breakup, Idan Malka and Yuval Raphael are finding themselves under the same professional roof once again. The 28-year-old singer has officially joined Yuli Agency, the very same talent management company that represents his famous ex-partner, the 25-year-old Israeli Eurovision 2025 representative.
The couple first crossed paths during their participation in the popular reality show "The Next Star for Eurovision," quickly capturing public attention as one of the most intriguing romances to emerge from the screen. By February 2025, they were spotted together at a hotel, and in March of that same year, they made their relationship public. However, after about a year and a half together, which included moving into a shared apartment, the two announced their separation at the end of August.
"There is so much love, respect, and appreciation between us, and sometimes even when you love deeply, you realize you need to let go," Malka wrote in his separation announcement. Raphael shared similar sentiments at the time, noting that while it was painful, they intended to maintain their friendship and mutual respect.
Just weeks after the breakup, Malka released his single "Kokvei Lechet," which sparked considerable speculation among fans due to lyrics that seemed to directly address his romance with Raphael. Lines such as "You will always be first and not second in my Eurovision" left little doubt about the inspiration behind the track. Despite joining the same agency, sources clarify that this move is purely professional and does not mark a romantic reunion—at least for now.
