Actress Gal Gadot disclosed that she underwent emergency brain surgery after discovering a “massive blood clot” during her eighth month of pregnancy earlier this year.
“In February, during my eighth month of pregnancy, I was diagnosed with a massive blood clot in my brain. For weeks, I had endured excruciating headaches that confined me to bed, until I finally underwent an MRI that revealed the terrifying truth. In one moment, my family and I were faced with how fragile life can be. 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,” Gadot said in an Instagram post.
“We rushed to the hospital, and within hours, I underwent emergency surgery. My daughter, Ori, was born during that moment of uncertainty and fear,” she added.

From the New York Post:
Gadot and her husband, film producer Jaron Varsano, are parents of four daughters — Alma, 13, Maya, 7, Daniella, 3, and Ori, 9 months. They tied the knot in September 2008.
Ori’s name means “my light,” which “wasn’t chosen by chance,” according to Gadot.
“Before the surgery, I told Jaron that when our daughter arrived, she would be the light waiting for me at the end of this tunnel,” she explained via Instagram. “Thanks to an extraordinary team of doctors at @cedarssinai and weeks of dedicated care, I made it through and began the road to recovery. Today, I am fully healed and filled with gratitude for the life I’ve been given back.”
ADVERTISEMENT“The journey has taught me so much. First, it’s vital to listen to our bodies and trust what it’s telling us. Pain, discomfort, or even subtle changes often carry deeper meaning, and being attuned to your body can be life saving,” she continued.
“Second, awareness matters. I had no idea that 3 in 100,000 pregnant women in the 30s+ age group are diagnosed with CVT (develop a blood clot in the brain). It’s so important to identify early because it’s treatable. While rare, it’s a possibility, and knowing it exists is the first step to addressing it. Sharing this is not meant to frighten anyone but to empower. If even one person feels compelled to take action for their health because of this story, it will have been worth sharing.”
“I promise I’ll NEVER do that again if you get vaccinated! Watch the whole video @FamilyGuyFox,” Gal Gadot said in 2021, sharing a ‘Family Guy’ PSA promoting the COVID-19 shot.

“One of my favorite things about WW is to see the unbelievable effect she has on the world, I love seeing how much you love her, and I really love seeing you show that love. Thank you all for letting me into your lives, I am honored,” Gadot said in a 2021 Facebook post with a picture of a fan dressed as Wonder Woman receiving the COVID-19 shot.
