Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied Spotted Co-Parenting Amid Divorce Rumors
In the midst of swirling rumors about their marriage, Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied were seen co-parenting their two children, Aleph and Amalia, in Los Angeles. The couple, who have been married since 2012, appeared to be getting along just fine as they enjoyed a family lunch together.
During the outing, Portman seemed to be in good spirits as she showed something on her phone to her youngest child. A video obtained by the Daily Mail captured the heartwarming moment when Portman flashed a smile while her daughter peeked at the smartphone. Millepied and their son Aleph later joined them for a casual stroll.
Portman’s choice of attire for the day was a comfortable tie-dye mushroom print sweatshirt by Rodarte, paired with jeans. However, what caught the attention of many was the absence of her wedding ring, further fueling speculation about the state of their marriage.
Rumors of trouble in paradise first surfaced in June of last year when sources exclusively told Page Six that the couple was fighting to save their relationship after Millepied allegedly had an affair. An insider revealed that despite the difficulties, Millepied was doing everything he could to win back Portman’s forgiveness, emphasizing his love for her and their family.
The French magazine Voici later shed more light on the situation, disclosing that Millepied had been spending time with a younger woman named Camille Etienne since March 2023, which ultimately led to the rupture in his relationship with Portman. However, neither Portman nor Millepied has officially commented on whether they are headed for divorce.
Portman’s actions have only added fuel to the rumor mill. In several public outings, she has been spotted without her wedding ring. In August 2023, on what would have been their 11th wedding anniversary, Portman was seen in Australia without her matrimonial bling. The actress further raised eyebrows when she strolled arm-in-arm with Millepied in Paris the following month, both of them ringless.
Adding to the speculation, Portman hinted at a possible separation when she mentioned in an interview with the Wall Street Journal that she lives in France “with her two children,” without mentioning her husband. When asked about the rumors surrounding her relationship by Vanity Fair, Portman chose not to provide an update on their status, expressing her reluctance to contribute to the ongoing speculation.
As fans and media outlets continue to speculate about the state of Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied’s marriage, it remains uncertain whether they will be able to overcome the challenges they are facing. For now, all we can do is wait for an official statement from the couple themselves.
