A decisive encounter. In 2010, the famous actress Natalie Portman met a certain star dancer by the name of Benjamin Millepied during the filming of the psychological thriller Black Swan by Darren Aronofsky. The love at first sight between the actress and the Frenchie is immediate so that the following year, they become parents of a boy named Aleph.
“I met my husband on set, so I think I was in dreamland…He was teaching me how to dance. You know, it’s one of those romantic things…It was really exciting and fun. It was beautiful. That’s when I said to myself: ‘This is the good one!’, she had declared in the media.
More in love than ever, they passed the ring on August 4, 2012 in California before settling in Paris two years later. It is in The City of Light that the newlyweds make their mark, especially since Benjamin Millepied is appointed director of dance there at the head of the Opera ballet. In 2017, Natalie Portman and her husband became parents for the second time to a daughter named Amalia.
This usually discreet glamorous couple is currently at the heart of all discussions. Some rumors mention a possible breakup. “Her husband is having an affair with a Frenchwoman”, could we read on the front page of Here, published on June 2, 2023. While the dancer Benjamin Millepied does not usually respond to these rumors, he finally left the silence in the columns of Paris Match, June 8, 2023. “Smart people know that the truth is not read in the tabloids..”, he commented.
