Gil Ofarim enters into another matrimonial union
Gil Ofarim, the 42-year-old musician and son of the late 1960s star Abi Ofarim, recently tied the knot with his long-time partner Patricia L. in a ceremony held at the Seeschloss Monrepos in Ludwigsburg, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. This is Ofarim's second marriage; his first was to Verena Brock in 2014, with whom he has two children.
The couple separated in 2018 under difficult circumstances. Following this, Ofarim became a teen star with a photo love story in the youth magazine "Bravo" and later gained fame in the late 1990s. He is known for his English pop songs and laid the foundation for his later TV career.
In April 2025, Ofarim made a cautious comeback performing a club concert in Bochum under heavy security due to threats and hostility he faced on social media as a Jewish musician. This comeback was following an antisemitism scandal involving Gil Ofarim, known as the "Davidstern" (Star of David) incident.
In October 2021, Ofarim accused a Leipzig hotel of antisemitism in a video that went viral on social media. He later filed a complaint, but the hotel manager also countersued for defamation. The case against Ofarim was dismissed, and he was ordered to pay a fine of 10,000 euros as a condition of the dismissal.
Ofarim confessed and apologized before the Leipzig Regional Court, but the exact court dates and details were not specified in the search results. This scandal marked a difficult period in Ofarim's life, but he has since continued his public and private life with the recent marriage marking a new personal beginning.
Ofarim's TV career includes appearances on shows like "Let's Dance" and "The Masked Singer". His music career continues to thrive, and he currently resides in Baden-Württemberg, according to his management.
