My Unorthodox Life star Julia Haart may still be embroiled in a bitter divorce battle with her ex-husband Silvio Scaglia – but that doesn’t appear to have stopped her from finding love with a new, younger man.
The 52-year-old Netflix star and fashion mogul, who recently announced the launch of her own vibrator, has been pictured putting on a very public display of affection with San Francisco 49ers coach Deuce Schwartz, 29, as the pair enjoyed a date night in New York City on Tuesday.
The pair were spotted waiting at a pedestrian crossing in the Big Apple as they walked to the Lincoln Center from Cafe Fiorello, where they had drinks.
For the occasion, Haart wore a black blazer with long lace sleeves and a matching bodysuit that had slits up her ankles to show off her slender legs.

Topping off the outfit, she wore platform heels and carried a patent leather bag, with large hoops hanging from her ears and her curled tresses worn loose.
Meanwhile Schwartz – an offensive quality control coach for the 49ers who is 23 years Haart’s junior – was also smartly dressed in a checked blazer over a white-collared shirt with navy slacks and suede-look boat shoes.
It’s not known exactly how long the pair have been involved, however Haart has been following Schwartz on Instagram for several weeks now – and first ‘liked’ one of his images back in April.
29-year-old Schwartz hails from Suffern, New York, according to his team’s profile, and his alma mater is Union College where he was listed as a quarterback in 2012.
He came to San Francisco in 2022 after he was a defensive analyst at the University of Missouri during the 2021 season.
Previously Schwartz has also held coaching positions at the Cleveland Browns, the New Orleans Saints and the Buffalo Bills, according to KNBR.
Haart, who spent the first 40 years of her life living within an incredibly strict Orthodox community, appears in Netflix reality show My Unorthodox Life alongside her adult children.
She was married at 19 to Yosef Hendler, a man she barely knew. They had four children – Batsheva, Shlomo, Miriam, and Aron – but she grew increasingly depressed and suicidal.
Haart went on to launch her own shoe collection and became the creative director at Italian luxury house La Perla after she decided to leave her Haredi community – where ‘women were to be rarely seen and never heard’ – in 2013 after 42 years.

After quitting her Jewish faith, Haart found love again in New York City with La Perla owner Silvio Scaglia, 64, whom she wed in 2019.
Soon after, Silvio named Haart as the CEO of his global management company, Elite World Group, which represents more than 4,000 models, actors, singers, and artists.
However, soon after the cameras stopped rolling on the first season of their hit Netflix show, the couple’s marriage ran into a storm of scandal when it was revealed that they were splitting.
The former couple initially released a statement saying that they were working towards an amicable separation.
But within days, their divorce proceedings had descended into a furious war of words, with Haart accusing her ex-husband of suddenly ousting her from Elite World Group, while claiming that he had blindsided her with the divorce.
She also alleged in legal documents that Scaglia had embarked on a ‘media campaign to destroy’ both her personal and professional reputation.
Among the many accusations the Italian businessman leveled against the woman he once claimed to love were claims that she misappropriated more than $850,000 of company funds and held on to company property including a bespoke Bentley.
In a March 2022 press release he announced that he was retaining well known criminal attorney, Benjamin Brafman, to ‘conduct a thorough investigation of Ms Haart as to whether she has violated any federal, state, or local criminal laws’.

In May, DailyMail.com revealed that Scaglia failed in his bid to have Haart thrown out of the luxury Manhattan apartment that was once their marital home.
Haart has been throwing herself into her work and has made multiple public appearances in the wake of her self-proclaimed billionaire ex’s attempts evict her from her Tribeca abode.
In May, DailyMail.com revealed that Scaglia failed in his bid to have Haart thrown out of the luxury Manhattan apartment that was once their marital home.
In a previous affidavit, the fashion designer claimed Scaglia had ‘cried poverty’ in a bid to have her ejected from the $70 million penthouse apartment in Tribeca.
Scaglia had sought to force the sale of the property on the grounds that Elite World Group (EWG) – the company he and Haart once built and ran together – was in such ‘distress’ that its future depended on releasing those funds.
Haart hit back accusing him of ‘draining the coffers’ with ‘highly reckless spending.’
In a legal judgment handed down in New York’s Supreme Court in May, and obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com, Haart won her fight to stay in her home.
Scaglia lost his bid to put the apartment on the market or to have her pay monthly costs, which he places at close to $170,000.
While announcing the launch of her own vibrator earlier this month, Haart took aim at her ex-husband’s bedroom skills.
According to Haart, she boasts unique expertise in the field because she has had to ‘depend on external help for many years’ during her marriage to Scaglia.
Joking that the vibrators currently available on the market ‘don’t do s*** for me’, Haart explained: ‘For someone like me, who has been using a vibrator, forever, for 20 years, it doesn’t really do much.
‘The [vibrators on the market at the moment] have two triple A batteries, or you have to charge them and they go out in 45 minutes.
‘It’s great for new people or novices, but for someone like me, I need the power of four double A batteries, that you only get from the ones attached to the penises.’
