Natalie Portman is celebrating a deeply personal milestone, confirming she is pregnant with her third child—her first with French musician partner Tanguy Destable. The Oscar-winning actress shared her excitement and gratitude in a recent interview, marking a joyful new chapter in her life.
“Tanguy and I are very excited,” Portman told Harper’s Bazaar. “I’m just very grateful. I know it’s such a privilege and a miracle.”
The 44-year-old actress, already a mother to son Aleph, 14, and daughter Amalia, 9, from her previous marriage to choreographer Benjamin Millepied, noted she has "more energy than I thought I might" and is cherishing this experience, recognizing it may be her last pregnancy.
Portman has been dividing her time between Los Angeles and Paris since her divorce from Millepied was finalized in March 2024. Her relationship with Destable, an electronic music artist and father of two from a previous relationship, has flourished in the City of Light, which she describes as "just a dream" and "an enormously stimulating city life with incredible friends."
While Portman is famously protective of her private life—once telling The Guardian, “My work demands me to be believable, so the less people know about me personally the better”—she has opened up about finding balance and contentment in this new phase.
“There’s a calm and knowing myself: who I want to spend time with, what kind of energy I want around me that makes the experience so beautiful every day,” she shared with Harper’s Bazaar.
The actress, who completed filming for upcoming projects before her pregnancy, is focusing on family time, noting, “My kids are always a source of excitement, because you just see them develop into the individuals they are.” She added that she’s been enjoying moments with friends and their children, creating a supportive community around her.
Portman’s journey reflects her thoughtful approach to both her career and personal life. As she prepares to welcome her new child, she embraces the experience with wisdom and joy, surrounded by loved ones in her transatlantic life.
