Israeli actress Gal Gadot announced the birth of her baby girl, revealing her name as “Ori,” a Hebrew name meaning “My light.” The Wonder Woman star shared the news on Wednesday via social media, posting a heartwarming photo of herself holding Ori in a hospital bed…
Gadot, who resides in the Hollywood Hills area of Los Angeles, has 109 million followers on Instagram. “Welcome, my sweet girl,” Gadot wrote. “The pregnancy wasn’t easy, but we made it through. You’ve already brought so much light into our lives, living up to your name, Ori. Our hearts are overflowing with gratitude.”
She added, “Welcome to the house of girls… Daddy is pretty cool too,” referring to her husband, Jaron Varsano, and their three other daughters. Within 10 hours, the post had garnered three million likes.
Gadot announced her pregnancy in December. She is also a mother to three other children: Alma, 11, Maya, 6, and Daniella, 2.
Known for her role in the Wonder Woman films, Gadot has been a vocal supporter of Israel. Following the tragic October 7 attack by the Palestinian militant group Hamas, which claimed the lives of 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and saw 253 others taken hostage to Gaza, Gadot has used her Instagram platform to call for the release of those captives.
In January, she shared a video message in support of the hostages’ families, marking 100 days since their abduction. Many of these individuals, approximately half, remain in captivity over 150 days later.
