by time news

The singer and composer Aviv Gefen and his wife Shani Friedan separated about five weeks ago after 23 years of marriage. The two have two sons: 15-year-old Dylan and six-year-old Elliot. Geffen was a guest on the “Out of the Frame” podcast of journalist Ran Booker on Ynet radio.

“To love is to know how to let go”

Gefen went ahead and said that Shani was never his wife. The two did not marry, so there was no need for a divorce. “The parting was done with the greatest love in the world. To love is to know how to let go and this is much more than the children will see at home. The children did not experience stress, we did not have the living room with the silence. There was none. When we got there, when we felt too much about it, more partners than Spouses, we wanted a bit of distance. To test if it’s real from a distance, and it’s very good for her and me. I love her very much, all my life, she’s a wonderful mother and wife. It’s a fascinating and challenging time.

According to him, the most challenging thing is the audience at home. “Suddenly I was left without an audience. I like living with an audience, and suddenly the living room is empty and I’m in front of my Lego collection, the kids have fallen asleep, and I’m without an audience. It’s challenging in the most beautiful sense in the world. There are lonely people who I’m really me when I’m with them, really exposed.”

“Everything was very clear, there was no market here”

Geffen went on to tell how he copes with the breakup: “We were together for 23 years, it’s not something short. I don’t leave the house, not Blaine. I’m not one of those. I don’t have cliques. If I’m wild I’ll sit with Moshe Klugeft or Revital Strauss, my manager who is a friend Mine. Apart from that, the children and my work.”

The singer was asked what it was like to divorce as “Aviv Gefen” and as someone who is widely covered in the media, and replied: “It is a decision that is always difficult. It was defined as a time-out and not a divorce. Everything was very clear, there was no market here. I prepared myself with a lot of support from a lot of psychologists For children and adults. How do you do it slowly and patiently, and remember that mom and dad will always love them and be with them… all the tools the child needs, everything is really good now.”
