Leslie Fhima is a frontrunner in the first season of The Golden Bachelor on ABC. She may be vying for Gerry Turner’s heart, but she was once married to her ex-husband, David Fhima and they had a son together, Elijah. Let’s dive in to find out more about him now.
Elijah Fhima: Navigating Love, Family, and Career
Family Ties: A Fhima Legacy
Elijah Fhima, the son of Leslie Fhima, who captured hearts on The Golden Bachelor Season 1, is making waves in his own right. Born in 1993 to Leslie and the esteemed restaurateur David Fhima, Elijah is crafting a unique path blending family, love, and professional pursuits.
Love in the Air: Engagement and Parenthood
In the realm of love, Elijah is engaged to Dafna Jalteco. The couple, together since 2019, eagerly anticipates the arrival of their wedding day, with Dafna playfully teasing “Mr. & Mrs. Fhima coming soon” on a cherished photo of the two. Their love story deepened as they welcomed a son and daughter into the world, creating a picture-perfect family unit.
Family Man: Parenthood and Personal Life
Elijah’s journey into parenthood has been an adventure filled with joy, as evidenced by his social media posts proudly celebrating his children. A post with 50 Cent humorously declares their son the “coolest kid at daycare, about to go crazy during show and tell.” Dafna’s pregnancy in 2021 marked another milestone in their family’s story.
Professional Pursuits: Following in his Father’s Footsteps
Taking inspiration from his father’s culinary prowess, Elijah has stepped into the world of hospitality. According to LinkedIn, he held the title of Director of Operations at Fhima’s Restaurant, a business owned by his father. However, with a sparse LinkedIn presence, it’s possible he has ventured into other professional realms since then. Notably, Elijah embraces diverse interests, showcasing his creative side as a self-described “rapper” on his personal website.
Inspirations and Connections: A Gary Vee Enthusiast
In the business world, Elijah shares a common interest with his father, David. Both are avid followers of businessman and entrepreneur Gary Vee, as seen in their attendance at Vee Con, where they likely gleaned insights and inspiration for their respective ventures.
Family Ties: A Heartfelt Connection with Leslie Fhima
Despite life’s twists and turns, Elijah maintains a close bond with his mother, Leslie Fhima. In a touching birthday tribute, he expressed deep admiration, stating, “You inspire me to be an honest man and have gifted me a beautiful life. Today we celebrate you… if the world only knew how special you are, it would be a national holiday. I love you & happy birthday momma!”
As Elijah Fhima continues to navigate the intricate tapestry of love, family, and career, he emerges as a multifaceted individual, weaving together the influences of his family legacy and forging his own unique path in the world.
