Israeli actor Maor Shvitzer has spoken for the first time about the difficulties of his life with his wife, actress Niv Sultan, revealing that their demanding careers often lead to significant time apart. In a recent episode of the podcast "Letting Go of the Bear" with hosts Dov Navon and Nadav Frishman, the 37-year-old actor described periods when the family relocates to Athens for Sultan's work on the international series "Tehran." Shvitzer admitted that during these times, they "barely experience anything together."
While the couple is perceived as stable and beloved in the Israeli entertainment industry, their reality involves frequent moves, raising their first child, and extremely tight schedules. Shvitzer explained that they move to Athens for about seven months every year and a half while Sultan films "Tehran." He recalled the most recent season, during which their son was only three months old. "It's one thing to film when Nata was three months old and I was taking care of him at home in Athens. Me and him in Athens, her filming 14 hours a day, and we barely experience anything together," he said.
Despite the physical distance, Shvitzer emphasized that it does not undermine their relationship, which began during the filming of the series "She Has It." He shared that the primary reason he returned to Israel after living and establishing successful businesses in the Philippines for three years was Sultan and their relationship.
However, there are also periods when they work together, such as on the recent film "Good Boys 3." Shvitzer dismissed the idea that working on the same set leads to friction, attributing this ease to his wife. "It depends on who your wife is," he stated. "What's great about my wife is that what you see is what you get. It's wonderful to leave in the morning together in a taxi and not leave each other. When it works out, it works out, no matter where you are or what the situation is."
