What happened to Gal Gadot?
Recently, Gal Gadot shared a deeply personal experience in an Instagram post, revealing that she was diagnosed with “a massive blood clot” in her brain while she was eight months pregnant. The Wonder Woman star wrote about enduring excruciating headaches for weeks before undergoing an MRI that revealed the diagnosis.
“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 explained.
In her emotional post, the actress shared the details of the emergency surgery she underwent, which not only treated her brain clot but also led to the birth of her daughter, Ori. Now 9 months old, Ori’s name, which means “my light” in Hebrew, holds special significance.
“Before the surgery, I told [my husband] Jaron that when our daughter arrived, she would be the light waiting for me at the end of this tunnel,” the actress added. She expressed immense gratitude to the medical team at Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles for their care. Gadot further revealed that she is now “fully healed.”
Gadot is also a mother to three other children. She wanted to use her platform to encourage others to listen to their bodies and take health concerns seriously. She explained how rare conditions like Cerebral Venous Thrombosis (CVT) can be life-threatening if not identified early.
The actress stressed the importance of awareness and early detection. Gadot also reassured her followers that she shared her story to empower others and potentially inspire them to act on their health and not to “frighten anyone.”
