AceShowbiz - Natalie Portman may have quietly ended her marriage to Benjamin Millepied. Six months after her husband's alleged affair with a 25-year-old climate activist was exposed, the actress is believed to have officially separated from the father of her two children.
The Oscar winner appears to have hinted at her split from Benjamin in her new interview with the Wall Street Journal. In the article published on Monday, January 7, the author notes that the "May December" star "lives in Paris with her two children," but makes no mention of her spouse, whom she married in August 2012.
Natalie shares son Aleph, 12, and daughter Amalia, 6, with the French dancer. In the same interview, she revealed her goal this year, which is to master the French language. She said, "My resolution is to really, actually learn French properly. I've lived in Paris for a year now, and I speak it well enough to get around, but I need proper French. That's my focus this year."
The interview was released after the Oscar winner attended the 2024 Golden Globe Awards. Hitting the red carpet solo, she ditched her wedding band while looking stunning in a Dior Haute Couture dress. She was nominated for Best Actress - Motion Picture Comedy or Musical for her performance in "May December", but lost out the award to Emma Stone for her role in "Poor Things".
Benjamin's alleged infidelity was first exposed in June. He was rumored to have an affair with Camille Etienne after he was spotted around his office with the climate activist. Despite feeling "humiliated" by the affair rumors, Natalie reportedly still tried to make her marriage to Benjamin work at the time.
In August, however, Us Weekly reported that Natalie and Benjamin had separated following his affair scandal. A so-called insider spilled to the outlet, "After news of his affair came out, they've been trying to work on their marriage but are currently on the outs."
Later in September, the estranged pair stepped out with their kids in Paris. They looked somber as they were seen exiting their apartment to escort their two kids to school. Both of them were not wearing their wedding rings during the outing.
