Natalie Portman has become a mother for the third time, giving birth to her first child with partner Tanguy Destable in Paris last month, according to the report.

Portmanโ€™s son Aleph, 15, and daughter Amalia, nine, are from her marriage to French director and choreographer Benjamin Millepied. Public information about Destable, the childโ€™s father, remains limited.

Tanguy and I are thrilled. Iโ€™m simply very grateful. I know it is a great privilege and a miracle.

· Natalie PortmanShe discussed her pregnancy in an interview with the U.S. edition of Harperโ€™s Bazaar.

Portman confirmed her pregnancy in April in an interview with the U.S. edition of Harperโ€™s Bazaar. โ€œTanguy and I are thrilled,โ€ she told the magazine. โ€œIโ€™m simply very grateful. I know it is a great privilege and a miracle.โ€

It is a kind of gratitude that you do not necessarily understand when you are young.

· Natalie PortmanShe described how her perspective on pregnancy had changed with age.

She said she was fully enjoying the pregnancy, describing it as a form of gratitude that people may not understand when they are young. She also spoke about the calm and self-knowledge that came with knowing whom she wanted around her and what kind of energy she wanted in her life. Because she believed it would probably be her last pregnancy, she said she wanted to enjoy every moment.

In a recent interview with Bunte, Portman also reflected on love, saying the word felt too limited in English. She noted that German has different terms for love of friends, children, work, art, nature and oneself, as well as romantic love, and said putting all of those meanings into one word felt too narrow.

The word seems too limited to me, at least in English.
