Sophie Daniel Benjamin and Dor Oz Cohen, participants in the Israeli reality show "Married at First Sight," have developed a notably close bond, which was highlighted during a recent emotional episode. The drama peaked during the couples' weekend, aired on Channel 12, where each couple faced personal challenges. While Sophie and Dor initially seemed to have a smooth relationship, Sophie received distressing news about her grandmother's hospitalization, which deeply affected her.

In an interview on the "Galit and Ilanit" show, Sophie shared how, despite her own turmoil, she was concerned about Dor's well-being, knowing his past experiences with his father’s illness could make the situation a trigger for him. She said, "It was important for me to see that he was okay in that situation because of what he went through with his dad. This is a partnership; when you go through something, you want someone to be there for you, especially when it affects the other person."

Sophie is currently in an advanced stage of pregnancy but has not disclosed the father's identity. She acknowledged the difficulty of the process, stating, "It's not simple, I won't lie. You can't prepare for it, but it's still an amazing journey. Soon, I will share something many have been asking about."

Dor's partner, Laiki Glick, also discussed her experience on the show, including the challenges of public scrutiny and moments of rejection that affected her confidence. She expressed that despite the exposure, she enjoys keeping some aspects of her life private and feels she has grown emotionally through the process. Both women reflected on the anxiety before the couples' weekend but found comfort in connecting with others facing similar experiences.

Laiki also commented on her relationship with her partner, Tomer Greenberg, noting that initial impressions of him being a "nerd" were nuanced and that the experience helped her understand her own needs better. She believes the show has made her a more loving and understanding partner.
