She recalled difficult moments from previous seasons, including being seven to eight months pregnant with their son Yahli during the first season while Zuaretz was in the Dominican Republic. For the second season, she managed the stress of moving house alone. Bar Zohar revealed that over the 14 seasons Zuaretz has hosted, he has been away from home for a cumulative total of two and a half years.

Despite the physical distance and logistical challenges, the couple's relationship remains strong, with Bar Zohar managing the family in Israel while Zuaretz continues his hosting duties in the Philippines.
