The Israeli model doesn’t regret leaving her homeland to pursue her career, even though it meant turning her back on mandatory military service.
Bar told Israel’s Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper: “I don’t regret not having been drafted into the army, because I made out big. Why is it good to die for one’s country? Isn’t it better to live in New York?”
The 22-year-old beauty, who took Leonardo to Israel to meet her family earlier this year, has vowed to never bring him back to the country again.
Bar explained: “I won’t bring anyone famous to Israel any more because there is a chutzpah here that you won’t see anywhere else.”
When the couple visited Israel in March, they were caught up in a scuffle as their bodyguards fought with photographers in Jerusalem.
