Immediately after the photo was posted, the audience was extremely surprised because the actress had never announced her pregnancy before. Both Gal Gadot and her husband Yaron Varsano kept it a secret until the actress gave birth to a healthy, safe baby.

“Pregnancy was not easy and we got through it,” Gal Gadot continued in the post, “You have brought so much light into our lives, worthy of your name Ori. Our hearts are full of gratitude, welcome to the family.”

Also in this post, the Wonder Woman star revealed that her daughter’s name Ori means “my light” in Hebrew. This is an extremely meaningful name and completely suitable for the circumstances of the baby’s birth, according to the actress. In addition, Gadot’s husband also posted a photo of the new family member on his personal page, at the same time thanking his wife for being strong during the birth of their fourth child.

This is not the first time Miss Israel has kept her pregnancy a secret. Previously, in 2017, the actress revealed that she did not announce her second pregnancy because she did not want to be treated differently on set.
