Actress Shira Haas elevated from the Israeli film industry to global stardom with the Netflix series, Unorthodox (2020). With rising fame, the concern of fans about her dating life began to surge.
Does the Israeli-born TV and film actress have a boyfriend? Haas and her co-star Admit Rahav sparked dating rumors after their cozy chemistry off the screen, but are they a couple?
The two-time Ophir Awards (Israeli Oscar) winner also caught the eye of her fans due to her short height, which many thought was due to some disability. However, it was due to her diagnosis of cancer when she was young.

Shira Haas Boyfriend: Who Is The ‘Bodies’ Actress Dating Now?
The Shtisel actress barely talks about her boyfriend or dating life in the media, but fans are already clinging on with their relationship theory. Nevertheless, there are no official records of Haas having any romantic date so far in the media.
Even more, none of her Instagram (@shirahaas) posts with over 441k followers confirms she’s in a relationship. Instead, all of her posts are either about her works/co-stars or her family.
However, some are not buying the claims that she could be single at the moment.
On top of that, some eagle-eyed fans have already speculated if she is possibly dating her Unorthodox co-star Amit Rahav. However, neither of them ever gave a green signal to the claim.
Moreover, she also got linked to her Bodies co-star Jacob Fortune-Lloyd, but it seems to be a hoax.

Why Do Fans Think Shira Is Dating Amit Rahav?
In the 2020 Netflix mini-series Unorthodox, Haas and her co-star, Amit, were on-screen husband and wife; they portrayed Esty Shapiro and Yanky Shapiro.
Throughout its filming and later upon the release, the duo were seen together sharing cozy pictures on Instagram.
It led fans to assume that the two got along and took their real-life relationship to real life. They often mentioned each other as “wife” and “husband” on their IG posts.
In May 2020, Amit wished Haas on her 25th birthday with a photo-booth snap of the pair. In the gushing Instagram post, he penned “Happy birthday Shira Haas! Marrying you was the easiest thing I’ve ever done.”
Three months later, in an Instagram post from August 2020, Shira Haas wished birthday to Rahav and wrote a heartfelt caption that included, “10 years of friendship”.
Even if some claimed their bond was platonic, the actress was seen kissing him on his cheek during a dinner outing in a carousel of pictures. For some, it hinted at a different story.
Whatever the bonding the two may have, it’s adorable.
Relationship Rumors: Truth On Alleged Boyfriend Daniel
Before fans were shipping Shira Haas with Amit, she was romantically linked to fellow Israeli actor Daniel Moreshet. Some online tabloids claimed that Haas and Moreshet were in a long-term relationship.
The Ha-E actress also has cozy pictures with Shira on his Instagram. However, it turns out that they were good friends.
On top of that, Daniel is gay and came out publicly in 2017.
Moreover, in February 2021, Moreshet introduced his boyfriend Tamir Leventer via his Instagram.
Fast-forward to two years, Daniel confirmed in July 2023 that they had been dating for four years (i.e. since 2019). Then, in October 2023, the actor announced his engagement with his partner Tamir, to which Shira showers lots of heart emojis in the comment.
Shira Haas Age And Height: Survivor Of Kidney Cancer
Born on May 11, 1995, in Tel Aviv, Israel, Haas is 29 years old as of 2024. The brown-eyed and brown-haired actress has a height of 5 feet (1.52 m).
When Shira was two, she was diagnosed with kidney cancer. After a series of severe treatments for three years, she recovered but it stunned her growth- leading to a shorter height, which many mistook as a disability.
Due to her height deficiency, she was exempt from military service, but she enlisted voluntarily in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Military Band and theater unit. And now, she stands as one of the aspiring actresses on the globe.
