“I started young. I was 25 when I was pregnant with Alma. I always wanted to be a young mother. Yes, three children. No joke, woman. God bless her, but it’s so much work,” she told the outlet.
She also gushed about the “magic” of childbirth: “If I could, I would do it once a week. 'It's so magical.'
“And to be fair, I always have to take an epidural so it's not so painful.” The moment you feel like you're creating life, it's incredible. But the pregnancies are hard for me, I feel sick and have migraines. I'm out of my element.'

Gal believes the worst thing she does is “juggling between my family life and my acting career.”
“When you're on set, you're like a kite.” “You can fly so high and try to catch the air,” Gadot described.
“Then you go home to do your main job as a mother.” It's not about me, it's about “Okay, now I have to bathe Maya, feed Alma and put Daniella to bed.”'
She also praised her husband Jaron, whom she married in 2008.
Aaron Paul was among the celebrities who sent their congratulations to Gal
“We have grown together. I know he's not with me because I'm a “movie star.” “He is with me because he loves me,” she explained.
“The connection was there from the start, so it always felt very real and very good.” “I'm super grateful that I met him when I was 20. I was a baby.”
She previously revealed that she met her husband “at this very strange party in the Israeli desert” that involved yoga and chakras.
“He's the best man,” she told Glamor in 2016. “We met almost ten years ago through mutual friends at this very strange party in the Israeli desert. It was all about yoga, chakras and healthy eating – we didn't exactly find each other there, but we found each other.”

She said he knew immediately that she was the one for him.
“He's 10 years older than me.” He told me on our second date that he was serious and wouldn't wait more than two years to ask me to marry him. Fast forward two years; He suggested. “We got married in 2008.”
She added: “We both said, ‘No games. Let’s just be honest and keep it simple.” Without him, I wouldn’t be able to do what I do. Family still has to come first. “I have to do what’s good for my child.”
