In her post, Gadot explained that it was during this period of uncertainty and fear that her daughter, Ori, was born. The name Ori, meaning "my light" in Hebrew, was deeply meaningful, as Gadot had told her husband, Jaron Varsano, before the surgery that their daughter would be the "light waiting for me at the end of this tunnel."
Gadot expressed her gratitude toward the doctors at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles who saved her life, adding that she is now fully recovered and overwhelmed with thankfulness for the second chance she was given. Reflecting on the experience, Gadot shared two important lessons: first, that it's crucial to listen to our bodies and trust its signals, and second, that 3 in 100,000 pregnant women over 30 are diagnosed with CVT (cerebral venous thrombosis), a brain clot that is treatable if caught early. “Sharing this is not meant to frighten anyone but to empower,” she emphasized.
Her post attracted an outpouring of support from fans and fellow celebrities, including Sacha Baron Cohen, Gwyneth Paltrow, January Jones, Tara Strong, Jessica Seinfeld, and Noa Tishby, who joined her 108 million Instagram followers in expressing their well wishes.
Gadot’s daughter, Ori, is her fourth child with Varsano. The couple's eldest daughter, Alma, recently celebrated her bat mitzvah in November.
Reflecting on the timing of her post during Hanukkah, a holiday symbolizing light and miracles, Gadot wrote, “I reflect on the personal miracle I was granted. My daughter, Ori, is a constant reminder of resilience, hope, and the strength we carry within.” She concluded by wishing that everyone may find their own light, experience miracles, and continue to advocate for their health and each other.
