Exes Ortal Amar and Ben El Tavori Reunite on HOT's 'Connected' Reality Show

Ortal Amar and Ben El Tavori, former partners and parents to their eight-year-old son, have surprised audiences by appearing together on the new season of HOT's popular reality show "Connected." The series, which also features celebrities like Emily Damari, Einav Bublil, and influencer Moshe Kursia, offers an intimate look at the less glamorous aspects of their lives.

At the season launch, Amar explained her motivation for joining the show was to reveal her true self beyond public perception. She acknowledged the rarity of exes participating together in such a revealing project but emphasized their shared goal of showing how they overcame challenges and progressed, especially as co-parents. Amar noted their son, To Prince, was involved in the filming process and sometimes requested the cameras be turned off, though he generally enjoys being on camera.

The show also helped improve Amar and Tavori's co-parenting relationship, with both opening up about their feelings. Early in filming, they even considered having another child together despite being in new relationships, Amar with Itay Adler and Tavori with Adi Carmi, both couples forming during the year-long filming period. Amar confirmed Adler and Tavori had not met during filming but have since.

Tavori was more reserved at the event but described the show as an opportunity to present his authentic self, beyond the public persona. He admitted he carefully considered joining but was ultimately persuaded by the production team. He encouraged viewers to watch the show and listen to his new song on YouTube.

The season promises an unprecedented glimpse into the lives of these exes navigating parenthood, new relationships, and personal growth together on national television.
