Tziporah Malkah opens up: Finding new love and quitting Sydney

Tziporah Malkah is content with the fact she is no longer one of Australia’s most photographed women. She’s also happy to be living in the country with someone “special”, away from Sydney.

Former model and actor Tziporah Malkah has found love in an academic 10 years her senior.

The troubled Sirens star, formerly known as Kate Fischer, 51, is finding solace living in the NSW Southern Highlands with Fraser Anderson, 61, a former history lecturer, IT specialist and nurse who beat cancer three years ago.

“I’ve found someone special after years of dating unsuitable men, I’m the happiest I’ve been in years,” Malkah, 51, said.

“I don’t want to be defined by a man – they’ve tried to define me my whole life.

“I may no longer be one of Australia’s most photographed women but Fraser sees me for who I am and compliments my life.

“When you find something special, it is special. I wouldn’t chuck my favourite jewellery anywhere, I’d keep it in a safe, protect it – very, very few people know about Fraser.”

The one-time model girlfriend of casino mogul James Packer, whose mother was former Liberal MP Pru Goward and father Alistair Fischer, a former economics lecturer from Adelaide, added: “Fraser is dad in many ways, I’ve found my father in him.”

“Dad is 81, a retired academic living in London, he’s softly spoken and gentle and highly intelligent and witty, reminds me of Fraser. Don’t be fooled by Fraser’s laconic demeanour.

“He is so smart. He’s older and settled, he’s what I need. I’ve wound up with my father,” she said.

Malkah, who complained to police over the alleged leaking of naked images of her claiming she is the victim of revenge porn, has kept a low profile since the phone pictures were taken in late 2019 by a journalist at her Kings Cross apartment in Sydney.

No charges have been laid over the incident. She quit Sydney after the episode a year ago and concedes she felt vulnerable as a recognisable Jew against a backdrop of rising anti-Semitism post October 7.

“I love being an Aussie, I’m disappointed in the government and what’s happened to Australians calling Jews Nazis and hating Jews,” she said.

“I felt vulnerable in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs as a Jew and, by the way, I never converted – I was born a Sephardic Jew.

“Life away from the city has given me some element of peace I hadn’t realised I had been craving for long.”

The former I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! star now shares her home with Mr Anderson, a former Wollongong University lecturer, whom she met at a demonstration calling for women’s rights and children’s protection outside the NSW Parliament.

Malkah revealed she has also given up her OnlyFans account saying she had not realised its potentially sexual nature.

“I was naive, didn’t know what it really was until men started asking ‘can I see your .... for $5’,” she winced.

“I’m positive about the year ahead – we have a federal election, we will no doubt follow Trump’s America and get rid of DEIs as it creates a hot bed of fascism. I see life differently, these days, I finally feel I’ve matured.
