Actor Natalie Portman is expecting her third child. Sharing the news exclusively with Harper’s Bazaar, the 44-year-old revealed that she and her partner Tanguy Destable are pregnant. “Tanguy and I are very excited,” she said. “I’m just very grateful. I know it’s such a privilege and a miracle.”
New chapter after divorce
The pregnancy marks a new phase in Portman’s life following her split from ex-husband Benjamin Millepied, with whom she finalized her divorce in February 2024 after 11 years of marriage. Her relationship with Destable became public earlier this year, with reports confirming the two had started dating months after the divorce.
Natalie Portman family
The Oscar-winning actor is already a mother to two children, son Aleph, 14, and daughter Amalia, 9, whom she shares with Millepied. She recently spoke about her children, noting that her 14-year-old ‘started a clothing line called Vanté. I’m very proud of him. He really just did it all on his own. And so I wore one of his shirts on stage. So I just kind of felt like a banner for him. It was very exciting’.
She has described her children as a constant source of joy and inspiration.
“My kids are always a source of excitement, because you just see them develop into the individuals they are,” she told Jenna Ortega. “Also, I’ve been spending a lot of time with my friends, with their kids and my kids; that’s pretty fun.”
