Fans were left stunned by Netflix's new true-crime documentary The Tinder Swindler - and they've been left wanting to know more about Simon Leviev's current love life.
The Israeli conman - also known as Shimon Hayut - posed as a billionaire's son on Tinder to defraud women out of hundreds of thousands of pounds.
At the end of the doc, viewers got an update on the lives of everyone involved - including Simon who has now moved on with his dating life.
At the end of the doc it was revealed that Leviev is now a free man, and we even caught a glimpse of him with a new woman indulging in a luxury lifestyle.

The woman in the helicopter is rumoured to be his current girlfriend and according to The Sun, her name is Kate (full name Katherine) Konlin, and she is an Israeli model.
The fraudster reportedly shared a photo on his Instagram story with a blonde woman, tagging Konlin on the social media post.
Following the release of the doc, Leviev deactivated his Instagram account, but before he did fans of the show saw a video of the couple riding in the back of a Rolls Royce together.
Konlin - who is now signed to Metropolitan Models and IMG Models - has a private Instagram account with over 99.9k followers. She was the only account Leviev followed up until his account went down.
In July 2021, she announced their relationship to the world in an interview with Israeli Magazine Mako.
Konlin said Leviev told her "everything" about himself on the first date. She added: "He told me he was sitting in jail, about the investigation that was in Norway and all the accusations that were against him. He did not hide anything from me, it was important to him that I know everything about him from the beginning."
"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."
She claimed that Leviev showed her documents proving his innocence, saying he is a successful property tycoon and businessman. At the time of the interview they lived in a luxury tower together in Tel Aviv.
Months later Konlin was interviewed by Radar and once again voiced her opinion on the Leviev case which she believes is "one big lie" and claims he is a legitimate business man.
The model updated fans and said they are no longer in a romantic relationship but remain friends and she referred to him as the "greatest man she ever knew."
The Tinder Swindler is available on Netflix now.
