Gal Gadot Surprises Fans With News Of Baby No. 4: 'Our Hearts Are Full Of Gratitude

Gal Gadot is introducing her latest bundle of joy to the world. 

The “Wonder Woman” actress secretly welcomed her fourth child and took to social media to share the great news while getting candid about her pregnancy struggles.

On Wednesday, Gadot took a break from her usual posting about the ongoing Israel-Hamas war to share delightful news with her 109 million followers on Instagram. The Israeli native shared a heartwarming photo of her cuddling her newborn daughter on the hospital bed.

A bare-faced Gadot sweetly cuddled her infant daughter, whose face was turned away from the camera. The accompanying caption sweetly read: "My sweet girl, welcome. The pregnancy was not easy and we made it through."

The award-winning actress then revealed the unique name she gave her daughter, writing, "You have brought so much light into our lives, living up to your name, Ori, which means ‘my light’ in Hebrew. Our hearts are full of gratitude. Welcome to the house of girls.. 👯‍♀️👯‍♀️ Daddy is pretty cool too 😉❤️."

The post instantly received an outpouring of love from fans and colleagues who congratulated her on the safe arrival of her fourth daughter. Jason Momoa led the praises, writing, "❤❤❤❤❤congratulations mama. Love u." Another excited fan penned, "Big congrats! I suppose only a Wonder Woman can look that great after the delivery of the fourth child ❤️."

Another heart-melting comment read, "Loads of love and blessings 😍 Congratulations ❤." However, many other fans expressed their shock at Gadot's news as they had no idea the "Red Notice" actress was even pregnant. "You’re just popping out daughters in secret," remarked one follower. Another similar comment read, "Wait she was pregnant?"

Baby Ori joins her three big sisters — Alma, Maya, and Daniella. Gadot and her husband, Jaron Varsano, first became parents in 2011, three years after they walked down the aisle. The former beauty pageant titleholder shared the news of Alma's birth, revealing the little one arrived a little earlier than normal.

Alma seems to be following in her mother's footsteps of becoming a Hollywood icon. The 12-year-old made a cameo appearance alongside her sister Maya and her dad in "Wonder Woman 1984," to her mother's delight.

A proud Gadot said of the sweet cameo, "It meant a lot and especially in that very special scene. I couldn't have done my movie without the support of my amazing family, and to have them captured in the film with me meant a lot. An amazing, amazing souvenir that we will cherish forever."

Despite playing the great Amazonian warrior princess, Gadot, like most women, struggles with balancing motherhood and her career. In an August 2023 interview, the 38-year-old got candid about the pressure of being a working mom.

"Having three children is messy and chaotic in the best way possible," she truthfully stated, adding that she has "guilt trips" as a "default of being a working mother."

The former Miss Israel explained that being a parent often made her wish to remain at home whenever she was at work. However, when she was home with her girls, she became worried she was not working enough. "It can be a vicious cycle—but you have to mute those feelings," Gadot emphasized before noting that accepting that she could not be a "perfectionist" helped her.

The DC star further noted that she encouraged herself to be the best mom possible and keep doing what she loved because it reflected on how her daughters viewed her. "A mother who is happier, who has interest in her life," concluded the actress.
