Natalie Portman has confirmed she is pregnant with her third child, her first with partner Tanguy Destable, marking a new chapter in her life following her divorce from Benjamin Millepied. The Oscar-winning actress shared the news in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, expressing gratitude and excitement about the pregnancy. At 44 years old, Portman noted she has felt more energetic than expected and has been spending quality time with her children, Aleph, 14, and Amalia, 9, whom she shares with Millepied.
The actress, who finalized her divorce from Millepied in February 2024 after 11 years of marriage, began dating Destable around a year before announcing her pregnancy. Destable, a French electronic music artist known professionally as Tepr, is from Morlaix and has two sons, Étienne and Vadim, from a previous relationship with French actress Louise Bourgoin. Portman has been splitting her time between Los Angeles and Paris since her divorce was finalized.
In discussing her pregnancy, Portman referenced cultural differences in prenatal care, noting that in France, full-term pregnancy is considered to be 41 weeks rather than 40, giving her “an extra week” to carry her baby. She also mentioned having completed her upcoming film projects, allowing her to focus on enjoying this period of her life.
Portman’s relationship with Destable has been described by insiders as a source of emotional healing following her difficult split from Millepied. Sources close to the actress have indicated that Destable’s presence has helped her regain a sense of peace and renew her faith in relationships, contrasting with the challenges she faced during her marriage to the choreographer.
The couple met years ago, with Portman and Millepied having collaborated on the film Black Swan in 2010, during which time she was pregnant with her son Aleph. Portman went on to win major awards for her performance in the film, including the Academy Award for Best Actress.
As Portman prepares for the arrival of her third child, she continues to balance her personal life with her professional commitments, having recently completed work on her next couple of films. Her openness about pregnancy at an older age adds to ongoing conversations about maternal health and fertility in the mid-40s.
