Gal Gadot has welcomed a baby girl and fans didn’t even realise she was pregnant.
The Wonder Woman star, 38, announced the news she’s given birth to her fourth child with husband Jaron Varsano on social media.

Her husband reshared the picture and added: ‘Bliss! Thank you my beautiful strong lioness.. Forever my beating heart.’
Among those to congratulate Gadot was Emily In Paris actress Lily Collins, who wrote ‘Ahhhhh congratulations!!!’, while US actor Vin Diesel posted a pray emoji.
US model Lily Aldridge also shared her congratulations, as did Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul, who wrote: “Congratulations!! So beautiful.”
Fans also took to the post with their congratulations, but also their confusion, as user nebula_damaged wrote: ‘Wait she was pregnant?’
‘You were pregnant?’ added marie_beauty_corner.
The pair welcomed daughters Alma in 2011, Maya in 2017 and Daniella in 2021.
Gal has talked about child birth and pregnancy before and thinks becoming a mother is the ‘best thing’.
‘When you deliver, you feel like you’re a god. Like, “Oh my God, I made this!”‘ Gadot told news.com.au in May 2017. ‘The best thing is to become a mother and to give life.’

‘I love giving birth. I would do it once a week if I could. It’s so magical,’ she also told InStyle in 2022.
‘And I always take epidurals, to be fair, so it’s not so painful. Just the moment you feel like you’re creating life, it’s incredible.’
She added: ‘That is the badass thing I do: the juggling between my family life and my acting career.’
In August 2023, Gal spoke about coping with three kids to Flaunt magazine.
‘Having three children is messy and chaotic in the best way possible,’ she said, adding, ‘If you’re at work, you want to be home.
‘Then, when you’re at home with the kids, you worry you’re not working enough. It can be a vicious cycle – but you have to mute those feelings.’
She explained: ‘I told myself that I can only do my best and that I’m being the best mother I can be.’
