Who are Gal Gadot's daughters?
Gadot and Varsano have four daughters: Alma, born 5 November 2011; Maya, born 20 March 2017; Daniella, born 29 June 2021; and Ori, born 5 February 2024.
Alma Varsano — born November 2011
Alma is Gal Gadot's eldest daughter and the first of the family's four girls. Alma was born on 5 November 2011, "a good few weeks before my due date", Gadot later revealed on Instagram.
Gadot has spoken warmly about watching Alma grow up. On her eighth birthday, the actress wrote on Instagram:
She has brought so much love and light into our home. So much laughter with cheeky, funny moments, so much curiosity, both daring and naivete.
Alma has also watched her mother on screen; her parents allowed her to see the first Wonder Woman film when they felt she was old enough. " She was very excited, but she also couldn't detach from seeing Ima (mother in Hebrew) battling the bad guys," Gadot told Vanity Fair.
Maya Varsano — born March 2017
Maya is Gadot's second daughter. Maya arrived in 2017, six years after her elder sister Alma. Gadot was five months pregnant with Maya during the Wonder Woman reshoots and kept the pregnancy quiet on set. A cut-out in her costume was covered with green fabric, so her bump could be removed digitally.
I started to come to set with sunglasses. I had this jug of water with huge pieces of ginger.
Maya was around six years old when her youngest sister Ori was born in 2024.
Daniella Varsano — born June 2021
Gal Gadot became a mother for the third time following the birth of Daniella Varsano on 29 June 2021. The actress and her family shared the joyous news via an Instagram post featuring Gadot, her two older daughters, her husband, and baby Daniella asleep in Maya's arms.

Gadot and Varsano affectionately call Daniella "Dan Dan", a nickname Gadot used publicly when receiving her Hollywood Walk of Fame star. Paying tribute to her daughters at the ceremony, Gal said:
Our daughters, Alma, Maya… Dan Dan, and baby Ori, everything I do, I do for you. Being your Ima is my greatest, greatest privilege and the most meaningful thing I've ever done.
Ori Varsano — born February 2024
Ori is Gal Gadot's youngest daughter and the child whose birth is inseparable from a life-threatening ordeal. Gadot shared that her daughter's name is Ori, which means "my light" in Hebrew.
Gadot first hinted that she had medical issues in the Instagram post announcing Ori's birth on 6 March 2024. The full story only emerged months later.
The pregnancy that nearly killed her
In February, during my eighth month of pregnancy, I was diagnosed with a massive blood clot in my brain.
Gadot wrote in a December 2024 Instagram caption.
The condition was cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST), a rare but serious condition where a clot forms in the brain's venous sinuses, blocking blood drainage and potentially leading to a stroke. What made Gadot's case especially alarming was its scale.
I had a brain clot, and it was a huge one. Like three. I had three. When I do something, I do it all the way.
Gadot described having "major headaches for three weeks" and seeing multiple doctors and neurologists. Doctors initially believed her symptoms were due to migraines and hormones. After three weeks with no improvement, her mother pushed for her to get an MRI scan.
Gadot recalled that her fourth child was born before she underwent emergency surgery to treat the clots. The medical team got the baby out immediately, then Gadot underwent a thrombectomy to remove the clots.
Why her symptoms were dismissed
Gadot's pregnancy had created the perfect storm for CVST to go unnoticed, as headaches, nausea, and other symptoms of a blood clot are often overlooked in pregnancy as typical discomforts.
Now "fully healed and filled with gratitude", Gadot urged anyone reading to listen to and trust their bodies: "Pain, discomfort, or even subtle changes often carry deeper meaning, and being attuned to your body can be life-saving."
She also wanted to raise awareness: "While rare, it's a possibility, and knowing it exists is the first step to addressing it."
How Gal Gadot feels about motherhood

Gadot has spoken openly about her love for giving birth, even before the ordeal with Ori.
I love giving birth. I would do it once a week if I could. It's so magical… Just the moment you feel like you're creating life, it's incredible.
On juggling career and family, Gadot told People:
That is a constant juggling struggle; at least for me, it's challenging. What I keep telling myself is that I can only do my best and I'm doing my best. I'm the best mother, and I'm fulfilling my dreams.
The couple raises their children in a bilingual, multicultural home in California, teaching them both Hebrew and English while celebrating their Israeli and American heritage.
