It's safe to say that Wonder Woman is pretty badass.
Not only is she one of the most powerful superheroes in the DC universe and a founding member of the Justice League but she's a pretty good representative for the strength of womankind.
So, imagine how ecstatic we were to hear that Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot has just announced she is pregnant with her second child.
Yesterday, the 31-year-old actress posted a black-and-white picture to Instagram in which she and her husband, real estate developer Yaron Varsano, made a heart with their hands over her little bump.
She captioned the image: 'So excited to share this wonder with you... #mommyforthesecondtime'.
Gadot and Varsano married in 2008 and had their first child, a daughter called Alma, in 2011. While the pair haven't revealed the sex of their baby, we're kind of hoping for a girl – the more Wonder Women the better, right?
The Israeli actress has previously spoken about motherhood telling Entertainment Weekly how she's excited to be able to play a strong female role and inspire her daughter.
'Most of the movies, the men are in charge, the men are the most powerful ones. You've had Superman and Batman and everyone, but Wonder Woman was never there,' she revealed.
The actress' new film, Wonder Woman – starring Chris Pine, Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill and Jason Momoa – is scheduled for release in June 2017, meaning Gadot will likely be in her final trimester while promoting the DC Comic adaptation and will be rocking some incredibly flawless maternity styles on the red carpet.
Congratulations, Gal!
