BABY NO. 3

Oscar Winner, 44, Is Pregnant With New Partner’s Child

Natalie Portman says she feels “lucky” and “grateful” to have a baby in her mid-40s.

Natalie Portman is pregnant with her first child with her new partner, the French music producer Tanguy Destable, she has revealed to Harper’s Bazaar. Portman, 44, shares two children—Aleph, 14, and Amalia, 9—with the French director-choreographer Benjamin Millepied. The couple finalized their divorce last year, and Portman said that she is ready for her new journey with Destable. “Tanguy and I are very excited,” the Oscar winner told the magazine. “I’m just very grateful. I know it’s such a privilege and a miracle.” People confirmed in March 2025 that Portman and Destable, 45, were dating. Now, Portman, who was awarded the Academy Award for Best Actress for her 2010 portrayal of Nina Sayers in Black Swan, says she is grateful to be able to have a child in her mid-40s. “I grew up hearing about how hard it is to get pregnant,” she tells Harper’s Bazaar. “I have so many people I love who’ve had such a hard time with it that I want to be respectful around that as well. It’s such a beautiful, joyous thing, and it’s also not an easy thing... And so I know how lucky it is. I’m very aware, and I’m very grateful.”
