  • Elad Tzepeni met his fiancée Romi while volunteering during the war.
  • Their meeting occurred through singer Omer Adam's taxi service for soldiers.
  • Romi initially ignored Tzepeni, but he persisted in pursuing her.
  • They connected through a video call and played Rummy over the phone.
  • Tzepeni was confident in their relationship despite Romi's initial hesitation.

Big Brother contestant and social media star Elad Tzepeni revealed how he met his fiancée, Romi, in an interview on the "Walla Ishi" podcast. Tzepeni stated that they met while volunteering to help soldiers during the height of the war, specifically through singer Omer Adam's taxi service.

Tzepeni recounted that Romi initially paid him no attention during their first encounter, despite sitting next to him in a car. He was determined to connect with her, and after about a week, they had a joint video call. Tzepeni then convinced her to play Rummy with him over the phone.

The transition to a romantic relationship was not immediate. Romi initially rejected his advances, but Tzepeni felt a connection beyond friendship within three weeks. He insisted they meet, and despite the wartime restrictions limiting outings, he was assertive about his feelings.

Romi playfully referred to him as a "dwarf" when he persisted, but Tzepeni remained confident that they were meant to be. He described himself as assertive and full of certainty about their future together.
