Natalie Portman And Benjamin Millepied’s Divorce Finalized
Natalie Portman secretly filed for divorce from director and choreographer Benjamin Millepied eight months ago, following an 11-year marriage. Now, the two have an official divorce.
This past July, the actress, 42, filed for divorce from Portman, 46, and Millepied, 46, in France, where they live with their children, son Aleph, 12, and daughter Amalia, 7. The divorce was formalized last month. News outlets were able to verify the details directly from Natalie Portman.

The media’s accusations of Millepied’s extramarital affair in May 2023 caused their covert breakup, which Portman has found difficult to reconcile.
One of the couple’s closest friends said, “It was initially really tough for her, but her friends rallied around her and helped get her through the worst of it. Natalie is coming out of a really tough and painful year but she’s come out the other side of it stronger and is finding joy in her family, friends, and work.”
Since the beginning, the couple has focused on helping their kids adjust, and during the past year, they have been frequently spotted in pictures together. In her Oscar victory speech, the actress expressed her gratitude to Millepied for providing her with the most significant role of her life.
Despite signs that the marriage was having problems—Portman hasn’t worn her wedding band since the “short-lived” affair became public last spring—the couple managed to resolve their disagreements amicably and rebuild a regular relationship over time.
Millepied was “doing everything he can to get Natalie to forgive him and keep their family together,” while Portman’s “biggest priority is protecting her children and their privacy.”
Since then, both of them have been really busy with their work. Millepied is working as a choreographer on Dune: Part Two, the popular sequel featuring Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya. Meanwhile, Portman has been working on many different projects, including promoting her highly praised role in May December. Right now, she’s filming for the Guy Ritchie-directed movie Fountain of Youth.
The Oscar-winning actress is preparing for the premiere of her upcoming project, the limited TV series Lady in the Lake, and has also been heavily active in her soccer team, Angel City.
Both Millepied and Portman maintain intense privacy, and neither has discussed rumors about their marriage in public. When questioned about the public conversation in a February interview with Vanity Fair, she hesitated and then said, “It’s terrible, and I have no desire to contribute to it.”
