She Has Long Moved Past Betrayal and a Broken Marriage: Natalie Portman Finds Love Again and Welcomes Her Third Child at 45

Natalie Portman has found what she calls her greatest happiness after a turbulent period in her personal life. The 45-year-old actor has welcomed a child with French musician Tanguy Destable, 46, her new partner and the father of her third child.

The couple were photographed walking through Paris with their newborn. Portman appeared to be smiling throughout the outing, while Destable carried the baby against his chest. The child is the first for the couple together.

“

We are counting the days until we meet you.

Portman and Destable have been together since early 2025, although they kept the relationship private for some time. At the beginning of this year, she announced her pregnancy on social media, addressing the baby directly: “We are counting the days until we meet you.” In an earlier interview, she called the unborn child her “miracle.”

“

Tanguy and I are very excited.

Portman has said she understands how difficult fertility treatment can be for women, including those who undergo in vitro fertilization or other procedures. Her father is an obstetrician, and she said becoming pregnant at 45 came easily for her, which made the experience feel miraculous. “Tanguy and I are very excited,” she said, adding that this would probably be her final pregnancy.

The actor previously married Benjamin Millepied, whom she met while filming Black Swan. They married in 2012 and have two children, Aleph and Amalia. Their marriage ended in 2023 after Millepied allegedly cheated on Portman with climate activist Camille Etienne. Portman continued living in Paris after the separation, and the article presents the city as the place where she found her new love and renewed happiness.

This time there is a calmness, and I know myself: I know who I want to spend time with and what kind of energy I want around me. That makes every day very beautiful.
