For more than a decade, Gal Gadot has maintained a strong presence in Hollywood, long before her rise to fame as Wonder Woman.
Her journey began with modeling and evolved into roles in major films such as Red Notice and the Fast & Furious series, where she portrayed Gisele Yashar, a former intelligence agent turned ally of Dominic Toretto’s team.

Gadot stands out among celebrities for her openness, frequently sharing glimpses of her life through social media and interviews. She has never hesitated to talk about her personal life, particularly her family and her relationship with her husband, Jaron Varsano.
Meeting Jaron Varsano at a Yoga Retreat
Raised in the small Israeli town of Petah Tikva, Gadot lived with her parents and younger sister. She achieved early success by winning the 2004 Miss Israel pageant at 18 and later serving two years in the Israel Defense Forces as a combat fitness instructor.
It was during this period that she met Varsano, then a real estate developer. Recalling their first encounter in a 2020 Vogue interview, Gadot described meeting Varsano at a desert yoga retreat. She noted his effortless charm and how their connection felt instant.
Varsano himself shared that their conversations began late at night and extended into sunrise, leaving them inseparable. By their second date, he confidently predicted they would marry within two years—a promise he kept.
A Family-Oriented Power Couple
Gadot’s life is a blend of Hollywood stardom and motherhood, as she raises four daughters while balancing her career. Death on the Nile director Kenneth Branagh commended her ability to integrate family life and work, attributing her positive energy to her solid family foundation.
Gadot’s husband, Varsano, has shown equal dedication, transitioning from real estate to join her in the entertainment industry. He often shares his admiration for her on social media, emphasizing mutual respect and equality as the pillars of their relationship.
Founding Pilot Wave Productions
In 2019, Gadot and Varsano ventured into production by launching Pilot Wave. The company focuses on producing impactful narratives and has been involved in projects like Heart of Stone and Cleopatra.
According to a statement shared with Deadline, they aim to highlight unique perspectives and create inspiring stories that leave a lasting impression.
