How many children does Gal Gadot have? All about the family as actress reveals she was diagnosed with blood clot in brain during pregnancy

Gal Gadot has recently revealed a personal health scare she experienced when she was eight months pregnant.

In an Instagram post shared on December 29, the Wonder Woman actress detailed that she “was diagnosed with a massive blood clot” in her brain during her fourth pregnancy. She wrote:

“For weeks, I had endured excruciating headaches that confined me to bed, until I finally underwent an MRI that revealed the terrifying truth.” The actress added, “It was a stark reminder of how quickly everything can change, and in the midst of a difficult year, all I wanted was to hold on and live.”

The 39-year-old actress is the mother of four children, including her youngest daughter, Ori, who was born this March.

In her social media post, the actress revealed that she “underwent emergency surgery” and that Ori was also born “during that moment of uncertainty and fear.” She described her daughter as the “light” that waited for her at the end of the tunnel. “My daughter, Ori, is a constant reminder of resilience, hope, and the strength we carry within.”

Gadot, who married Jaron Varsano in 2008, welcomed their eldest daughter, Alma, in 2011. Her other two daughters, Maya and Daniella, were born in 2017 and 2021, respectively.
