Opira Asayag Says Tomer No Longer Wants Laiki Amid Relationship Struggles on 'Married at First Sight'

In a recent episode of the Israeli TV show "Opira Ohana Seri" on Keshet 12, host Opira Asayag discussed the troubled relationship between Laiki and Tomer from the reality series "Married at First Sight." Asayag expressed her view that the dynamics in their relationship have reversed, stating, "He does not want her," and suggested there is no potential for their future together. This commentary came amid ongoing criticism about the couples’ compatibility on the show.

Dr. Yael Doron, the relationship expert from "Married at First Sight," appeared on the program to address questions about the matchmaking process and the couples’ challenges. Doron acknowledged the difficulties in matching partners perfectly, noting that sometimes physical preferences differ from the actual matches, but emphasized that the process involves deep listening to participants’ desires. She defended the relationship of Laiki and Tomer, saying both see significant potential and that no one is forced to stay if it doesn’t work.

The hosts and Doron also discussed the importance of openly addressing sexual compatibility on television, highlighting how Laiki and Tomer courageously bring these issues to the screen. Barak Seri, one of the hosts, described Tomer as uncertain about himself, while Asayag countered that Tomer is dissatisfied with what he sees in the relationship and that Laiki did not respect him initially.

Doron compared the show’s matchmaking concept to traditional matchmaking in ultra-Orthodox communities, where couples meet and quickly commit without deep prior knowledge. She also revealed a humorous moment during the interview involving a couples’ quiz with the hosts, including a playful tip on how to argue less by removing clothes and staying in underwear.

The episode aired on July 3, 2026, with updates on July 4, and continues to explore the evolving dynamics among the couples as they approach a joint weekend event designed to test and strengthen their relationships.
