Gal Gadot has shared a harrowing health update from her fourth pregnancy. The actress was diagnosed with a rare brain condition while expecting daughter Ori in 2024. She credits vigilance and top-notch care for pulling her through.
Darlings, grab your tissues because Gal Gadot just dropped a bombshell about her 2024 pregnancy that had us all clutching our pearls. On Friday, February 6, the 40-year-old Wonder Woman star took to Instagram to reflect on the 'dark valley' she navigated while carrying her fourth daughter, Ori. And oh boy, was it a plot twist no one saw coming. 😱
In a raw post, Gal disclosed she was hit with Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis (CVST)—that's a rare blood clot in the brain's veins, according to the Cleveland Clinic. 'Two years ago today, I was walking through a very dark valley in my life,' she wrote. 'Right beside that darkness, my daughter Ori was born, bringing an abundance of light into my world. Life is truly Yin and Yang… in every shadow, there is a spark of light, and within every light, there is a point of darkness.'
It all unfolded in the late stages of her pregnancy: several blood clots in her brain, turning what should have been pure joy into something terrifying and painful. But Gal stayed sharp—'Staying alert and aware is what ultimately saved my life. (And the amazing doctors who took care of me).' She urges everyone: 'Always advocate for your health.' That photo she shared? Snapped just two weeks before the diagnosis and Ori's arrival. Talk about timing. 👀
Gal and hubby Jaron Varsano are already parents to Alma, Maya, and Daniella, making Ori the cherry on their family sundae. Wrapping it up with gratitude, she said, 'I am so deeply grateful for my life and for the lives of my loved ones. Wishing us all health and endless light. Even when it feels dark, remember—there is always a point of light waiting for you to find it🤍.'
