Natalie Portman Announces Divorce from Benjamin Millepied
The separation of Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied has been finalized after 11 years of marriage, with Portman privately filing for divorce eight months ago. The divorce has now been officially completed in France, where the couple resides with their children, Aleph and Amalia.
Speculations about Millepied’s alleged affair with someone else surfaced last year, causing a stir in the media. Despite the rumors, Portman addressed the situation in a recent interview with Vanity Fair, expressing her disappointment and disinterest in perpetuating the gossip.
Portman, 42, revealed her low-key lifestyle in Los Angeles, away from the glitz and glam of Hollywood. She emphasized her preference for intimate gatherings with friends over attending industry events and parties, highlighting the importance of a balanced and grounded life.
The couple first met in 2009 during the filming of “Black Swan,” where Millepied worked as a choreographer for Portman’s role as a ballet dancer. Their relationship blossomed, culminating in an engagement and the birth of their first child shortly after the movie’s release.
Their wedding in 2012 was a secluded affair in Big Sur, California, reflecting their desire for privacy in their personal lives. Despite their public profiles, Portman and Millepied made a conscious effort to keep their romance out of the spotlight, focusing on their careers and family.
As they now navigate the next chapter of their lives as co-parents, the couple remains committed to maintaining a healthy balance between their professional endeavors and personal relationships.
