Natalie Portman Breaks Silence on Benjamin Millepied Divorce

As a big fan of Natalie Portman and her illustrious acting career, I have always been intrigued by her personal life, especially her romantic relationship with choreographer and dancer Benjamin Millepied. Their love story is a true testament to the power of serendipitous encounters and the beauty of finding one’s soulmate.


Natalie Portman found love in an unexpected place after her split.

During her divorce from Benjamin Millepied, the Black Swan actress revealed that her initial encounter with Rihanna proved to be incredibly uplifting for her.

During an interview on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” on July 15, Natalie expressed her belief that every woman going through a divorce deserves to hear Rihanna tell them they’re strong and empowered. She shared that this message came at just the right time for her and provided the boost she needed.

After Jimmy played the clip of Rihanna’s first encounter with Natalie, where Rihanna praised Natalie as one of Hollywood’s hottest women and expressed rare excitement, Natalie playfully wiped away a teardrop in response.

“It was,” she said, “a formative moment in my life.”

Natalie made her initial statement about her divorce, which became final between her and Benjamin in March following over ten years of marriage, during which they have a 12-year-old son named Aleph and a 7-year-old daughter named Amalia.

Over a year ago, numerous media outlets reported that Benjamin, whom Natalie met while filming “Black Swan,” had been unfaithful. However, Natalie only addressed the rumors by telling Vanity Fair in February, “It’s unfortunate, and I have no intention of adding fuel to the fire.”

As a deeply devoted fan, I’ve followed Natalie’s career and personal life with great interest. leading up to her surprise late-night appearance in June, she had kept quiet about her divorce. But on the eve of her 43rd birthday, the esteemed Academy Award winner decided to share some intriguing insights about the close-knit community that has supported her through thick and thin during this challenging time.

On my birthday this year, I’d like to express my appreciation in this Instagram post on June 9th. I’m sharing a series of photos taken from various places around the world. I’m deeply grateful for my friends who consistently uplift me.

And part of that friendship magic involves a high level of normalcy.

Natalie shared with Vanity Fair that her life in L.A. is quite different from the typical Hollywood experience. She has friends involved in entertainment, but most of her friends are not. Instead of attending industry events and going to Hollywood parties, they prefer spending time together at home for simple gatherings like backyard dinners.

For a look back at Natalie and Benjamin’s romance, keep reading.
