Bar Refaeli Returns to TV, Discusses Motherhood and Marriage

Model Bar Refaeli, 41, is returning to television as a judge on the new season of "The Masked Singer." In a recent interview, she shared her excitement about rejoining the screen after a hiatus, discussing her family life and career.

Refaeli admitted that her initial interactions with fellow judge Ophira Assayag were marked by a misunderstanding, but this quickly evolved into a strong bond. "You and I have known each other for many years and we are also neighbors," Refaeli said, recalling an early encounter. She expressed her anticipation for viewers to witness the "brotherhood, unity, mutual appreciation, and humor" among the judges on the show, believing it will be a unique dynamic on screen.

Refaeli explained her decision to return to television, stating that the timing and connection felt right. She is particularly pleased that the show is family-friendly, allowing her children to be part of her work experience. "At my age today and as a mother of three children, this is very important," she stated.

Reflecting on motherhood, Refaeli acknowledged the cliché that a mother's heart has more room than previously imagined. However, she emphasized that her life has not drastically changed. "I remain Bar Refaeli who works hard and has a career," she said, adding that she makes an effort to ensure she and her husband, Adi Ezra, maintain romantic time together. She also prioritizes her friendships, ensuring she doesn't sacrifice time with loved ones.

Regarding her children's privacy, Refaeli expressed concern about exposing them to the judgmental nature of the public at a young age. Despite this, she believes modeling is "the most worthwhile job in the world," having provided her with significant experiences and financial independence. Looking ahead to upcoming elections, Refaeli voiced her desire for change in Israel, urging citizens to vote to shape their own destiny.
