Ben and Mor were introduced to each other by Ben’s younger sister - Abigail Shapiro. Mor was not famous and she got into the spotlight on her wedding day as she was getting married to one of the most well-known men in America, Ben Shapiro.

Ben and Mor had been dating for some time before they got engaged in 2007. She walked down the aisle in 2008 when she was just 20 years old. Their wedding was Jewish and it involved activities such as breaking the Glass after exchanging their vows.

They exchanged their vows in a beautiful place that overlooks the ocean called Acre in Israel. During the ceremony, Ben's father read them a poem that he had written. It was a beautiful piece that made almost everyone who had attended the ceremony emotional.

Leeya Eliana Shapiro was diagnosed with a heart condition known as Astral Septal Defect which is a congenital disability of the heart soon after being born. She was just a year old when she underwent successful heart surgery at a children’s hospital in Los Angeles.

Two years after Leeya was born, Mor had a bouncing baby boy whose name is yet to be known. Not a lot is known about her son as she keeps her family life very private and away from the media.
