  • Ofira Asayag and Tzipi Refaeli shared an Instagram story, signaling a possible reconciliation.
  • The two TV personalities were once close friends but had a public falling out years ago.
  • Bar Refaeli, Tzipi's daughter, is now working with Asayag on "The Masked Singer."
  • Asayag had previously discussed the end of her friendship with Refaeli after Refaeli's prison release.
  • Tzipi Refaeli's name has again been mentioned as a potential "Masked Singer" contestant.

TV personality Ofira Asayag and Tzipi Refaeli, mother of model Bar Refaeli, may be on the path to reconciliation after years of estrangement. Refaeli posted a story on Instagram showing her daughter Bar and Asayag during the filming of "The Masked Singer" on Channel 12. Asayag reshared the story on her own account, fueling speculation about their renewed connection.

The two were once close friends, but their relationship deteriorated. Asayag publicly revealed the rift during the third season of "The Masked Singer," suggesting Refaeli might be hiding under the chick costume. Asayag stated at the time that Refaeli had distanced herself after being released from prison, a decision she respected.

Recent developments suggest a thaw in their relationship. Bar Refaeli joined the panel of "The Masked Singer" alongside Asayag for its fifth season, leading to closer interactions between the two. In a joint interview, Bar Refaeli described Asayag as a friend who "entered my heart." She also mentioned that while she was unaware of the specifics of the past conflict between her mother and Asayag, she always viewed the media personality as a respected figure.

Despite initial awkwardness during filming, Bar Refaeli recounted an instance where a misunderstanding was resolved, leading to a warm reception from Asayag. Further signs of rapprochement include Asayag and Refaeli being seen conversing at a recent event, with Bar Refaeli present. Coincidentally, Tzipi Refaeli's name has again surfaced as a guess for a masked singer on the current season, with singer Moshe Peretz linking clues to the Refaeli family, echoing Asayag's earlier guess about her former friend.
