The two met on the set of Portman’s Oscar-winning ballet movie “Black Swan,” which Millepied choreographed. He dated fellow dancer Isabella Boylston for a long time. Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied’s engagement took place in 2010 and their wedding took place in 2012 in Big Sur, Calif. Portman, who was pregnant with their first child, accepted her Best Actress award for the film in 2011, pointing to her stomach and saying, I am indebted to my dearest Benjamin Millepied, who choreographed the film and who gifted me with my most important role to date. They have two children, Aleph, 12, and Amalia, 6. As well as “Black Swan,” they also worked together on Portman’s 2018 film “Vox Lux.” In August 2022, they posted Instagram messages to each other to celebrate their ten-year anniversary.
Despite Benjamin Millepied’s Affair With 25-year-old, Natalie Portman And Benjamin Millepied Fight For Their Marriage
On Friday, Natalie Portman’s husband Benjamin Millepied reportedly did everything he could to save their marriage after she learned he was having an affair with a younger woman. Just days before the news broke, the 41-year-old Oscar winner was pictured with the 45-year-old dancer and choreographer. As the couple chatted with friends and Todd Haynes, Portman’s May December director, on May 29, following the acclaimed Cannes Film Festival premiere, they appeared to have nothing to worry about. There was even a romantic kiss between the screen star and her husband. They were having dinner with Haynes and other friends at Georges, where Portman was seen talking to Haynes, an acclaimed director who has directed Carol, Far From Heaven and Safe, among others. According to Page Six, Millepied had an affair with a 25-year-old woman, first reported by Voici. DailyMail.com also confirmed that Portman and Millepied remain together. An insider, however, claimed the alleged affair was ‘short-lived’ and has now ended.
Despite saying Millepied, 45, was aware of the magnitude of his alleged transgression and was trying to repair the damage with Portman, they called it an ‘enormous mistake.’ Natalie Portman was seen grinning ear-to-ear while chatting with Haynes during their May 29 social outing. Wearing a pink patterned dress with short sleeves and a maxi skirt, along with chic black cat-eye sunglasses, she looked lovely. Although Millepied sat next to his wife at the dining table during dinner, he was primarily pictured conversing with another woman while Portman was also at the table. Page Six previously reported that the two separated last year before reuniting, though it does not appear that it was related to his alleged affair. Their marriage has once again been thrown into turmoil after she reported discovering the affair in March. Adding to the confusion are photos published in France showing Millepied with the 25-year-old climate activist Camille Étienne. Currently, Portman and Millepied are ‘trying to work things out’, according to a source for Page Six.
