Who is Simon Leviev's current girlfriend?
Simon Leviev has been rumoured to be dating a model.
In a since-deleted post, Simon Leviev tagged a woman named Kate Konlin in an Instagram story.
In July of 2021, Konlin spoke of their relationship in the Israeli magazine, .
"He did not hide anything from me, it was important to him that I know everything about him from the beginning," she said at the time.
Konlin added that Leviev told her "everything" about his questionable past on their first date, after having pursued her for over four months on social media.
"Listen, the sums they said he stung were equal to the gifts he buys me on Saturday," she continued.
"It's absurd, why should he take a girl for tens of thousands when he spends such a sum as a matter of routine? It does not make sense."
Konlin added that Leviev showed her documents proving his innocence, saying he is a successful property tycoon and businessman.
Who is Kate Konlin?
With over 99.9K followers on Instagram, Kate Konlin has a private account with no public access to her images.
In a February 2022 article published by , Konlin once more alleged the Leviev case to be "one big lie."
Although the two don't appear to be in a romantic relationship as of late, Konlin said they do remain friends.
Konlin added that Leviev is "doing very big business in real estate in Israel."
Leviev has an ";army of bodyguards and lawyers" according to Konlin.
The model went on to refer to him as "the greatest man" she "ever knew."
Who are Simon Leviev's victims?
Three of Leviev's victims bravely shared their stories for the almost two-hour film after they were unfortunate enough to swipe right on him via Tinder.
He then allegedly conned them out of hundreds of thousands of pounds, according to the documentary.
He reportedly claimed to be the "prince of diamonds" and a billionaire heir to the fortune of an Israeli magnate - but he turned out to be anything but.
Leviev allegedly convinced his dates to fork out for everything from flights to making international bank transfers and always promised to pay them back, the documentary added.
But if they were given something in return, it was reportedly dodgy cheques which would bounce or fake designer watches that were almost worthless.
He was finally caught out, though for unrelated crimes, and was thrown behind bars for 15 months.
However, following good behaviour, he was freed after just five.
His victims who have spoken publicly include:
- Cecilie Fjellhøy
- Pernilla Sjöholm
- Ayleen Charlotte
Ayleen helped police to track the conman down after he was accused of fraud.
He was eventually extradited to Israel after attempting to board a flight using a fake passport.

Ayleen told the Netflix documentary how she sold some of his designer clothes to claw back some of the money she had lost.
She said: "Of course, it wasn’t in line with everything that I gave him, but it felt like a little bit of payback."
