In response to a question of how motherhood changed her, the actress claimed, "The biggest thing that changed in my life since I became a mother 11 years ago, was learning that it’s not just about me.

She added, "It puts everything in perspective. And you love, like you’ve never loved before. They’re everything to me, I’ll do anything for them."
Gadot indicated that having a family hasn’t limited her dreams, goals or her massive Hollywood career. In fact, she claimed it has pushed her to do and achieve more than she ever thought she could.

She added, "I went to university to study law, but I wanted to continue becoming an actress. My husband Jaron gave me all the support to pursue any of these avenues."
