Childbirth proved to be a hell of a tester — even for trailblazing superhero star Gal Gadot.
The “Wonder Woman” actress announced Wednesday afternoon she had welcomed a baby girl named Ori, following a secret and difficult pregnancy.
The newborn is the fourth daughter for Gadot, 38, and her husband of 16 years, Israeli film producer Jaron Varsano.
“My sweet girl, welcome,” Gadot shared on Instagram and Facebook, surprising fans who didn’t know she was expecting. “The pregnancy was not easy and we made it through.”
Alongside a pic of her cuddling her newborn in a hospital bed, the Israeli actress added: “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.”
Baby Ori joins sisters Alma (born in 2011), Maya (2017) and Daniella (2021).
Gadot previously said in a 2022 interview for InStyle that she loved “giving birth” and “would do it once a week” if she could.
“It’s so magical. And I always take epidurals, to be fair, so it’s not painful,” she said. “Just the moment you feel like you’re creating life, it’s incredible.”
