Actress Natalie Portman is reportedly unfazed by her ex-husband, choreographer Benjamin Millepied, quickly moving on to a new relationship following their divorce. “Given the way their marriage ended, Natalie is not surprised that Benjamin has moved on. She knows he would move on quickly,” a source told Us Weekly. The insider added that Portman, 43, hopes her ex-husband is happy and was already aware of his new relationship before it became public.
On October 15, Millepied, 47, was seen kissing a woman in Paris, openly displaying affection on the streets. The couple was photographed walking together, appearing comfortable in each other’s company.
The End of Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied’s Marriage
Portman and Millepied filed for divorce in July of the previous year after more than a decade together. Their separation was kept private, and Portman only confirmed the split publicly in March. The breakdown of their marriage came after rumors surfaced that Millepied had been involved in an affair.
In June, French media outlet Voici.fr reported that Millepied, a renowned choreographer, had been seeing 25-year-old climate activist Camille Étienne. Sources indicated that Portman discovered the affair months before it became public but had initially chosen to keep her family intact. The report also mentioned that in May, Millepied and Étienne were spotted meeting in his Paris office, where they spent nearly two hours together. Shortly after the news broke, Portman removed her wedding ring.
