Who is Benjamin Millepied, Natalie Portman’s ex-husband – and did he really cheat on her? The Oscar-winning actress met the French choreographer on the set of Black Swan, and has 2 children with him
- After months of media speculation about Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied’s marriage being strained, the pair have officially called it quits
- It’s unclear why they split up, but French media claimed in August that Millepied had had an extramarital affair with a 25-year-old
The exes have always been very private about their relationship and family life. In February, when asked by Vanity Fair what she thought about all the incessant chatter around her marriage, Portman said: “It’s terrible, and I have no desire to contribute to it.”
She added, “I lead a very non-Hollywood life in LA. I live on the east side. I have some friends who are in the entertainment industry, but many friends who are not, and we don’t do industry things when we hang out. We’re not going to Hollywood parties, we’re having dinners at home in the backyard.”
It’s unclear exactly why they split up, and it’s unlikely we’ll ever find out directly from either party – but that’s not stopped netizens from trying to dig deeper.
One particular article from French magazine Voici published last August alleges that Millepied had had an extramarital affair with a 25-year-old.
