In a recent development, Hollywood actress Natalie Portman and her husband, renowned ballet dancer Benjamin Millepied, have announced their separation after 11 years of marriage. The news comes amid persistent rumors about Millepied’s alleged affair with a 25-year-old climate activist, Camille Etienne. The couple, who share two children, a son named Aleph (12) and a daughter named Amalia (6), seemed to be working on their relationship despite the speculations. However, a source close to the couple revealed to Us Weekly that their attempts at reconciliation have faltered, and they are currently navigating a period of uncertainty in their marriage.
The saga of Portman and Millepied’s relationship has taken a series of twists.

Sources close to the couple have shed light on their respective feelings regarding the situation.

The source also revealed that Portman was initially “humiliated” by the rumors but was willing to work on rebuilding trust for the sake of their children. Another source shared that Benjamin Millepied regrets his actions and that the couple is currently engaged in conversations to address their differences. Despite the challenges, they are reportedly united in their commitment to ensuring a stable environment for their children.
Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied’s journey began when they met during the production of Darren Aronofsky’s acclaimed thriller “Black Swan” in 2009, which later premiered in 2010.
