‘Wonder Woman’ Actress Gal Gadot Announces She’s Pregnant

— Israeli actress Gal Gadot announced in a tweet that she and her husband are expecting their second child.

Gadot, who will be playing Wonder Woman in DC Comics movies, posted a photo Sunday evening of herself and husband Yaron Varsano, an Israeli real estate developer, taking a selfie of the couple making a heart shape with their hands on her belly. The hashtag reads #mommyforthesecondtime. The couple have a 5-year-old daughter.

So excited to share this wonder with you… #mommyforthesecondtime???pic.twitter.com/Ci0tQisMrX

The post also appeared on Instagram.

Her character will soon have a movie of her own. Taking place during the World War I era, the movie will introduce Wonder Woman’s alter ego, Diana Prince, and her origins on the Amazonian island of Themyscira.

“Wonder Woman” is scheduled to open in theaters in June. The character was introduced in DC Comics movies several months ago in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.” She is also scheduled to appear in the superhero film “Justice League,” which comes out in November 2017.

Are you one of our 2%?

Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.

But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses  —  take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.

Don’t just read the Forward — invest in it. Support our work today!
