The reason why the Israeli actress, a naturalized American, did not have the ring on her hand is still unknown, however, the fact revived, the rumors of a marital crisis. "After the news of their affair broke, they have been trying to work on their marriage, but are currently out," a source close to the couple told US Weekly in recent days.
