In short, no, Simon Leviev does not have a daughter.
Leviev, born Shimon Yehuda Hayut, reportedly told one of his “girlfriends” Cecilie Fjellhøy about his family past, telling her about a supposed daughter.
In the documentary, Fjellhøy admitted feeling emotional when Hayut told her about his child as it proved him to be a proud father and a good man.
It then came to light that Hayut’s “baby mama” and “daughter” were fabricated as part of a plan to trick Fjellhøy into trusting him.

Hayut’s false identity of Leviev made him a well-off jetsetter and the son of Israeli businessman, Lev Leviev.
The real businessman and the “King of Diamonds”, Lev Leviev, has nine children, according to Forbes.
One of Lev’s children, Chagit Leviev Sofiev, is the President of the Leviev Group USA. She is also the CEO for Africa Israel USA, managing their US real estate operations.
