About a week ago, Jordan Jerby celebrated a birthday. "I am 31 years old, my whole life was late. I only started living at the age of 28, after retiring from judo," says the former Olympic judoka and star of "VIP Survival" today.

In a special interview with the "Shishvat" supplement, which will be published tomorrow (Friday), Jerby was asked if she did not regret her retirement. "Absolutely not. But I do miss the competition, when I have a battle plan and I have to win, when I want to be at the top of the podium and the flag is raised. If I am challenged now, there is a situation that I am rising."

Jerby, who claims she is not in a relationship at the moment ("I and Idan Habib are very good friends"), receives, she says, offers to go out on dates, from social networks and also from friends who offer her matchmaking. "Because of the corona I'm afraid to meet people. Someone suggested I drink raspberry juice together before sunset. Funny. I don't answer, but it's cute and complimenting."

Do you feel mature for motherhood?

"I love children and really want children, but do not know if I am ready for it right now. I have always loved children, but I think I need to be ready for motherhood as well as a couple, and right now I am not ready. To reach children I need a stable relationship."

Jerby now lives in Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, where she moved earlier this year to work in real estate. “I am currently looking for my big dreams. I'm an entrepreneur, and I'm trying to develop real estate projects, and succeed in my own way. I prefer to dream big and not small. My goal right now is more overseas.

Regarding the well-publicized storms around her in "VIP Survival," Jerby says: "I learned there about myself that I am patient at high levels. You can get there in extreme situations. You are hungry all the time, sleeping on the sand. Every time the family came to mind, I started crying. Emotion there is a hundred times more powerful. "

There was a moment that broke you, when Little Samadja used the word "Bahurila."

"It did not bother me. I came to the island focused on winning. There was verbal violence, but I do not answer verbal violence with verbal violence. Children watch it, and I wanted them to understand that when you curse them at school, there is nothing to return with curses. You have to be restrained, be sure of yourself "I was confident in myself."
