Natalie Portman Addresses Speculation Surrounding Marriage Amid Alleged Affair Rumors
In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, actress Natalie Portman, 42, addressed the ongoing speculation surrounding her marriage to choreographer Benjamin Millepied. Portman expressed her reluctance to contribute to the narrative that suggests her marriage may have ended.
“It’s terrible, and I have no desire to contribute to it,” Portman stated firmly, dismissing the swirling rumors about the state of her relationship with Millepied.
The rumors began circulating in February 2023 when a French outlet reported Millepied’s alleged affair. According to a source cited by People magazine, the affair was described as “short-lived” and had concluded by June 2023. The insider revealed Millepied’s remorse, stating, “He knows he made an enormous mistake and is doing all he can to get Natalie to forgive him and keep their family together.”
Despite the widespread speculation, a representative for Portman did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Portman and Millepied first met on the set of “Black Swan” in 2009, where Millepied was hired to teach Portman ballet for the film. Their relationship blossomed, leading to their marriage in 2012. The couple shares two children, Aleph and Amalia.
The current status of Portman and Millepied’s relationship remains unclear. Portman divides her time between Los Angeles and Paris, describing them as “complementary” cities. She shared insights into her non-Hollywood lifestyle in LA, emphasizing her preference for intimate gatherings over industry events.
“I lead a very non-Hollywood life in LA. I live on the east side… When I would visit, it would only be for work, and I’d be having industry meetings and going to industry parties. Living there made my experience much more rounded and appreciative of all the city has to offer,” Portman explained.
As speculation continues, the actress remains focused on her personal and professional pursuits, navigating the challenges that come with life in the public eye.
