Natalie Portman is rumored to be divorcing Benjamin Millepied. The divorce of the couple, which has been reported, is allegedly due to Millepied's infidelity issues. In an interview with US Weekly, an unnamed source stated that the couple chose to separate. "Since the rumor of infidelity emerged, they have been struggling to save their marriage, but it seems now they have chosen to separate," they revealed.

Portman and Millepied have not yet provided an official comment when asked for a response by Page Six. Portman was seen in Sydney last week without Millepied, even though it was their wedding anniversary. The four-carat diamond ring designed by Jamie Wolf, which she should have been wearing, also appears to be no longer on her finger.

On the other hand, the French magazine Voici uploaded a photo of Millepied and Etienne at Millepied's office. They were seen entering and leaving the building separately, only a few minutes apart from Millepied.

According to several reports, Natalie Portman had known about her husband's affair rumors several months earlier. Page Six previously reported exclusively that the couple is making a strong effort to preserve their marriage.

According to sources, they had separated last year but managed to overcome the crisis. "They are still trying to resolve this issue. Ben is doing his best to seek forgiveness from Natalie. He loves Natalie and their family very much," said a source at the time. The source also added that Portman is someone who highly values privacy. Currently, her main focus is on taking care of their children, Aleph and Amalia. 

Etienne, who was rumored to be Millepied's affair partner, is an author of the book For an Ecological Uprising: Overcoming Our Collective Powerlessness. Meanwhile, Portman and Millepied met during the production of the film Black Swan in 2010. Portman played the lead character, Nina, while Millepied was the choreographer and also played the role of David. He proposed to Portman in 2010, and they decided to get married two years later.

According to Britannica, Natalie Portman, also known as Natalie Hershlag, was born on June 9, 1981 in Jerusalem. Portman is an Israeli-American actress famous for her calm and aristocratic portrayal of young women struggling to mature before their time.

In 1984, her family moved to the United States and eventually settled in New York. After a brief career as a model, Portman ventured into the world of acting and landed her first role in the film Leon in 1994. A year later, she appeared in the thriller film Heat (1995).

Portman continued her acting career by playing an unfriendly supermarket cashier in the film Hesher (2010). She also appeared in a lighter role in the romantic comedy film No Strings Attached (2011). Portman also portrayed a warrior princess in the ancient era comedy, Your Highness (2011).

3. Looking Ripped in Thor: Love and Thunder

Since the release of the first trailer for Thor: Love and Thunder, public attention has not only been focused on Chris Hemsworth as Thor. Marvel fans are also highlighting Natalie Portman, who plays Jane Foster.

She not only plays Thor's ex-girlfriend, but also The Mighty Thor or you could say the female version of Thor. Not only wearing Thor's costume, Portman also impresses with her bigger arm muscles than usual.

This appearance is a major transformation, considering that in the previous two Thor films, Jane was a professor with no physical strength at all. From the film footage, Portman even managed to use Thor's hammer, Mjolnir, which previously could only be lifted by Thor and Captain America.

"For the film Black Swan, I was asked to be as thin as possible, but for Thor, I had to bulk up as much as possible. This is an incredible challenge as a woman, it's quite a mental burden," said Portman, as quoted from Glamour website in July 2022.
