"Married at First Sight" star, Sophie Daniel Benjamin, is currently dealing with the challenging aspects of new motherhood and frequent nightly awakenings, alongside a heavy physical burden. In a story she shared on her Instagram account, Benjamin revealed a major difficulty that appeared in the middle of the night:
"One of my biggest nightmares is waking up with a migraine. I suffer from migraines with aura. I hope I didn't miss the moment that this is my biggest problem when waking up with a migraine, if so, I'm in trouble and all plans will be cancelled."
The health challenge and accumulated fatigue come at the peak of a new and exciting chapter in her life. Benjamin and her partner, Dor Oz Cohen, became one of the most talked-about and surprising couples in the history of the reality show after meeting in the eighth season. During the show's broadcast, the two discovered they were expecting a child together—an unprecedented event in the Israeli version of the format that stirred the entire country.
The couple's path to building a family was not immune to complexities. The discovery of the surprise pregnancy led to an initial crisis that caused Dor to temporarily distance himself and return to the north, but following a moving message that Sophie sent him, the two decided to take full responsibility, work on their relationship, and restore the love between them. The peak arrived in July 2026, when they brought their firstborn son into the world at the Lis Hospital in Ichilov, and at the circumcision ceremony, they revealed his chosen name: Eitan Yitzhak.
With the conclusion of the season's broadcast in August 2026, Sophie and Dor confirmed that they are in a stable relationship and are raising their son together. Although they lived separately immediately after the birth to process the dramatic change, Sophie recently shared that they are joining forces and moving in together under one roof as a family, as they juggle the move, caring for the new baby, and dealing with sleepless nights.
