Gal Gadot finds social media very confusing.
Gal Gadot previously revealed that she was “scared to death” after doctors discovered a blood clot in her brain in February 2024, just before she gave birth to her daughter, Ori. The actress recalled the terrifying experience, explaining that it was one of the most challenging moments of her life. Thankfully, she received immediate medical attention, and both she and her baby were safe. Gadot has since expressed gratitude for the medical team that helped her through the ordeal. The experience has given her a new perspective on life, emphasizing the importance of health, family, and cherishing every moment.
Los Angeles: Hollywood star Gal Gadot, a mother of four daughters—Alma, Maya, Daniella, and Ori—has expressed concerns about the growing influence of social media on young women. The actress believes that the increasing dependence on these platforms can be unhealthy, shaping unrealistic expectations and distorting reality.
The ‘Wonder Woman’ star, who has been married to businessman Jaron Varsano since 2008, shared her thoughts in an interview with DuJour magazine. She revealed that she often warns her children about the dangers of social media, telling them how much easier her own childhood was compared to theirs.
A Chaotic but Loving Family Life
While Gadot grew up in a quiet and structured home, she admits that her current household is far from peaceful. She described her family life as “mayhem,” but it is a dynamic that she wholeheartedly embraces.
The actress thrives in the chaos created by her children and enjoys the energy they bring to her household.
She continued: “If you come to my house, you will hear laughter, fights, and even tears. It’s a whole range of emotions, and I love it. Yes, it’s a lot. I juggle everything, I do my best, and we have help. My husband is an amazing dad. I don’t sleep a lot, but that’s just part of it.”
Balancing Stardom and Motherhood
Despite her fame and a busy Hollywood career, Gadot has always prioritized her family. However, she acknowledges the challenges of balancing both worlds. In a 2020 interview with Glamour magazine, she spoke candidly about the difficulties of maintaining a successful acting career while also being present for her children.
The actress strives to be there for her children despite her hectic schedule. She credits her husband, Jaron Varsano, for being an incredible support system. Together, they ensure that their children have as much stability as possible, despite their mother’s high-profile career.
A Life-Threatening Health Scare
Earlier this year, Gadot revealed that she had a terrifying health scare while pregnant with her youngest daughter, Ori. Speaking on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,’ the actress recounted how she was diagnosed with a blood clot in her brain just before giving birth in February 2024. The experience left her “scared to death.”
“I had a huge scare. All of a sudden, I realized what it really means to be scared to death,” she shared.
For weeks leading up to the diagnosis, Gadot suffered from debilitating headaches. She initially brushed them off as migraines or pregnancy-related symptoms. However, her mother urged her to seek further medical evaluation, which led to a critical MRI scan.
At first, they thought it was just migraines or hormonal changes due to pregnancy,” she explained.
The MRI results revealed the severity of her condition, prompting immediate hospitalization. Doctors performed an emergency thrombectomy to remove the clot, and her baby was delivered safely.
A New Perspective on Life
The frightening experience gave Gadot a renewed appreciation for life and her family. She has since spoken about how the ordeal changed her perspective, making her even more grateful for every moment she has with her loved ones.
“It really put everything in perspective for me. You can have everything—fame, success, and love—but in the end, health is everything,” she said.
As she continues her career in Hollywood, Gadot remains committed to using her platform to inspire and empower women. Whether speaking out about unrealistic beauty standards or sharing her personal struggles, she hopes to bring more authenticity to the conversation around fame, motherhood, and mental health.
Despite the challenges of balancing her family and career, she remains positive and focused on making the most of every moment. “Life is unpredictable,” she said.
