“Two years ago today, I was walking through a very dark valley in my life,” she wrote. “Right beside that darkness, my daughter Ori was born, bringing an abundance of light into my world.”
Gadot explained that during the late stages of her pregnancy, she developed several blood clots in her brain, a condition that required immediate medical attention and could have been fatal if left undetected.
“For those who don’t know, I was in the late stages of my pregnancy when I suffered several blood clots in my brain,” she shared. “It was terrifying and painful.”
The actress credited vigilance and medical care with saving her life, emphasizing the importance of listening to one’s body.
“Staying alert and aware is what ultimately saved my life,” she continued. “(And the amazing doctors who took care of me). Always advocate for your health.”

Alongside her statement, Gadot shared a photo taken just two weeks before she learned of her condition and before Ori was born, underscoring how suddenly her life shifted.
The revelation resonated deeply with fans, many of whom were unaware the actress had faced such a serious health emergency.
Despite the severity of the situation, Gadot framed the experience through a lens of gratitude and perspective, describing life as a balance of light and darkness.
“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.
Now safely on the other side of the ordeal, Gadot expressed profound appreciation for her life and family.
“I am so deeply grateful for my life and for the lives of my loved ones,” she said. “Wishing us all health and endless light.”
She concluded her message with a note of encouragement for others facing difficult moments: “Even when it feels dark, remember — there is always a point of light waiting for you to find it.”
