  • This was the couple's fourth child together.
  • Simon had wanted to deliver his children since their first.

Simon Totokian fulfilled a lifelong dream by delivering his own wife, Cassandra, during the birth of their fourth child. The couple shared their unusual experience on the program "HaOlam HaBoker" (The Morning World). "She fulfilled a dream for me. She trusts me, and I know that. I love learning things," Simon said, expressing his deep connection to his family. Cassandra explained that Simon's desire to be involved in the births grew with each child, and she was surprised when he took the lead during this delivery. "He didn't tell me beforehand that this is what was going to happen," she recounted.

Simon emphasized the importance of family, stating, "I grew up without parents. For me, family is the most important thing. We've been together for 15 years, she's a champion." He elaborated on his strong desire to be the first person to hold his child, rather than just observing. "I wanted to be the first person to hold my child, I didn't want to stand on the sidelines. It's a powerful moment," he added.

Simon revealed that he had wanted to deliver their children from the first birth, but Cassandra was initially afraid. "I have no fear," he stated, highlighting his confidence and determination to be actively involved in the birth process.
