Married at First Sight Star Opens Up: "He Played with My Feelings"
Viki Halmi, a participant on "Married at First Sight," discusses her painful breakup with Omer Bar. Despite the disappointment, she shares that she has found happiness in a new relationship.
Viki Halmi, a participant in the latest season of "Married at First Sight," joined the program with one goal: to build a real and serious relationship. Now, following the broadcast of the episode where the couple parted ways, Viki opens up about the experience in an interview with mako and shares some particularly happy news.
As you recall, bride Viki Halmi and groom Omer Bar decided to part ways and ended their journey on "Married at First Sight." Less than a day after the episode aired, Halmi addressed the breakup and thanked her dog, Kuani: "Thank you, Kuani, for being part of this process, for being the little magic on screen that made so many people fall in love," she wrote in an Instagram story.
It seems she also included a jab at her ex, Omer, who didn't connect as well with the dog: "True, there were those who complained that you get on the beds. But at least no one complained that you are dangerous. Maybe this is just more proof that the problem was never the dogs, and know that we come as a package deal."
In the interview, Viki was asked if she was in love with Omer, and she replied candidly: "Yes. I have never experienced such a feeling; it was truly a child's infatuation." Regarding the infamous incident where she was locked out, she noted that she doesn't think they would have stayed together even without it: "Something else would have happened. But here, it was really from a peak to an abyss."
When asked if her heart was broken, she replied that while that might be too dramatic, she was terribly disappointed because she had invested so much. "I felt he lied to me. I tried to change everything he said bothered him, but it turns out he wasn't there at all. I feel like he played with my feelings a bit," she admitted.
Regarding contact with Omer, she stated: "No. When the broadcasts ended, there were messages of 'thank you, thank you,' and that's it. I heard he is in a relationship, and I am happy for him. It didn't end very nicely. Everything is fine; I respect him very much. I think he is a good person, and this was one of the most important lessons I've had in my life."
Viki revealed that she had a difficult year after the breakup and experienced anxiety attacks for the first time: "The first anxiety attack was in the middle of a date. I realized we were talking and I was getting lost. I felt unworthy." Happily, Viki is now at the beginning of a new relationship. "I don't want to say too much, but I am in a stunning relationship and I am happy," she declared. Her new partner had not watched her on the show, and the two actually met long before the program, during a trip after their army service.
It seems that despite the complex and painful path Viki experienced in front of the cameras, her journey towards love paid off. Perhaps the experience did not end in a lifelong marriage with Omer, but it served as a critical milestone that taught her what she truly deserves. Now, embraced by a new and natural love with her loyal dog by her side, we wish Viki a calm, happy, and, most importantly, drama-free new chapter.
