Judy Nir Moses, former wife of ex-minister Silvan Shalom, discussed their divorce and family life in a segment of "The Winning Kitchen VIP" on Keshet 12. She stated that while their romantic relationship ended, she still loves and admires Shalom, explaining they became like siblings. Nir Moses attributed their separation partly to Shalom's extensive political career, which she felt impacted family dynamics. She noted that her mother bore the primary responsibility for raising the children while her father was largely absent from daily life.
Nir Moses shared that the family dynamic has shifted since she moved to New York. According to her, Shalom now dedicates more time to their children, hosting them for Shabbat dinners and serving couscous, a dish she used to order. She also reflected on her childhood, growing up in the family that owned "Yedioth Ahronoth" newspaper.

Despite her family's wealth, Nir Moses claimed she did not experience her childhood as one of luxury, though she spent summers in boarding schools in Switzerland. She explained that her grandfather, Yehuda, gradually sold assets to maintain ownership of "Yedioth Ahronoth." This explanation surprised interviewer Yogev Yiftah, who questioned how one could grow up surrounded by such extensive real estate without feeling wealthy.
