Gal Gadot may star as Wonder Woman on the big screen, but she’s quickly becoming a wonder woman in the business world. The actress is one of the founding partners of the new mac and cheese brand Goodles. But before she took on the role of brand ambassador and entrepreneur, she learned a lesson or two from her Red Notice co-star Ryan Reynolds and his wife, Blake Lively.
“Ryan and Blake are both very smart entrepreneurs, great friends, good people, positive people,” she exclusively told E! News Chief Correspondent Keltie Knight on the Dec. 7 episode of E! News (airing tonight at 11:30 p.m.). “He totally shared what it takes, the process he’s been through and I’m super, super happy for their success.”
Ryan—who just took home this year’s People’s Icon Award at the 2022 People’s Choice Awards—has several successful brands under his belt, including Aviation Gin and Mint Mobile. Meanwhile, Blake founded her own non-alcoholic, sparkling drink mixers company Betty Buzz. And when Gal and Ryan weren’t busy talking business on set, the stars—each the parents of three girls—were hanging out with each other’s families.
Gal shares daughters Alma, 11, Maya, 5, and 17-month-old Daniella with husband Jaron Varsano, while Ryan and Blake share kids James, 7, Inez, 6, and Betty, 3, with a fourth child on the way. “When we filmed the movie, we were quarantining together,” Gal shared, “so our daughters did homeschooling together. We were like a village.” As if that wasn’t cute enough, the star added that the kids would decorate cakes with each other.
And while starting a business is quite the difficult task, the 37-year-old said nothing compares to the ups and downs of parenthood. “The hardest thing is definitely the mommy part of it all,” she stated, “but it’s the most rewarding one, as well.”
