Gal Gadot is opening up about a health struggle after learning about a difficult medical condition during her last pregnancy.
The Wonder Woman star, 40, took to Instagram on Friday, Feb. 6, to reveal her Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis (CVST) diagnosis, a rare blood clot in the brain.
While reflecting on her time carrying her fourth daughter, Ori, she shared maternity photos of herself in a sheer black dress. In them, she flaunted her growing belly, placing her hands on her back and gazing into the camera. A third slide pictured the young babe, who was born in March 2024.
The snaps were beautiful; however, in the post's caption, the Justice League film star divulged more than what meets the eye, recalling an intensely scary time in her life.
"Two years ago today, I was walking through a very dark valley in my life. Right beside that darkness, my daughter Ori was born, bringing an abundance of light into my world. Life is truly Yin and Yang... in every shadow, there is a spark of light, and within every light, there is a point of darkness," she wrote.
The Fast X actress went on to explain some of what she was up against: "For those who don’t know, I was in the late stages of my pregnancy when I suffered several blood clots in my brain. It was terrifying and painful. Staying alert and aware is what ultimately saved my life. (And the amazing doctors who took care of me). Always advocate for your health. This photo was taken just two weeks before I found out about my condition and Ori was born."
Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare form of stroke that "occurs when a blood clot forms in the brain’s venous sinuses. The clot keeps blood from draining out of the brain. As a result, pressure builds up in the blood vessels. This can lead to swelling and bleeding (hemorrhage) in the brain," according to Johns Hopkins Medicine.
In closing, Gadot shared a note of thankfulness, adding, "I am so deeply grateful for my life and for the lives of my loved ones. Wishing us all health and endless light. Even when it feels dark, remember- there is always a point of light waiting for you to find it??," before including the hashtags, "#BloodClotAwareness#cerebralvenoussinusthrombosis," to the upload.
Fans hopped into the comments section to send love her way.
"So beautiful," one said, while another wrote, "Nothing but health! And how important it is to talk about it to raise awareness♥️," translated from Hebrew to English.
"So beautiful—the photos and your caption ❤️ As your fan, I am also grateful you and Ori have been given such a gift. Truly a blessing," a third penned.
In the absence of words, several more simply dropped red heart and praying hands emojis.
In addition to Ori, the actress shares three older daughters—Alma, Maya, and Daniella—with husband, Jaron Varsano.
