Lela Vémola Reveals Stress-Induced Sleep Struggles and Late-Night Cravings Amid Family Split
Lela Vémola has opened up about her ongoing struggle with insomnia and stress-eating following the breakdown of her marriage to Karlos Vémola. Speaking candidly about her current daily routine, she revealed that she routinely wakes up at 3:00 AM and turns to the refrigerator for comfort, leading to a three-kilogram weight gain.
“When you have stress, you initially lose a lot of weight, but then comes a phase where you cannot sleep. I regularly wake up at three in the morning. And if I fail to fall back asleep, I open the fridge and eat,” Vémola explained to iDNES.cz regarding her night-time habits.
Among her specific cravings, Vémola admitted she cannot resist a particular combination of savory snacks. “I love turkey ham most of all with twisties, salted puff pastry sticks. I am literally addicted to them,” she said.
Weighing Health, Stress, and a December Deadline
The nocturnal trips to the kitchen have left their mark, resulting in a three-kilogram gain on the scale. Vémola stated that she plans to curb her habits to avoid gaining too much weight, driven by a specific upcoming commitment: a December photoshoot for a new charity calendar whose proceeds will support a good cause.
Super.cz reported that Vémola acknowledged how stress and sleep deprivation from her marital crisis have fueled her late-night routine. “In the night I cannot sleep because of stress, so I open the fridge at three in the morning and try to calm myself with food. I finally realized that it helps,” she told the outlet.
Additional coverage from extrasimo.cz highlights that the high-profile separation has involved ongoing disputes regarding child care and financial support arrangements. Vémola noted that managing the morning school runs and daily logistics for their three children—Lili, Rocky, and Arnold—has proven physically demanding, prompting her to consider a possible relocation closer to her daily routines next year.
Protecting the Children Amid Household Changes
While public interest in the split remains high, Vémola emphasized a desire to move forward and shield her children from conflict. “I think a lot of things have already been said and there is no reason to return to it now and express myself any further. Let it flow and above all, people who judge me have never walked in my shoes, so they don’t know my real story,” she told eXtra.cz.
She added that she wanted to keep household arguments and visible distress away from the children. The family dynamic has shifted significantly since the separation. Eldest daughter Lili started school in September, four-year-old Rocky attends kindergarten, and 18-month-old Arnold continues to recover following kidney surgery and a course of antibiotics.
Both parents share care responsibilities. During a recent work trip Vémola took to Brno, the children stayed with Karlos Vémola. “That’s how it should be, we are both parents,” she noted.
Karlos Vémola previously addressed the separation on Instagram, confirming the end of their relationship and emphasizing their ongoing commitment to co-parenting their children despite the end of their marriage.
