Natalie Portman Expecting Third Child with Tanguy Destable

Actress Natalie Portman, 44, has announced she is pregnant with her third child. The Academy Award-winning performer confirmed the news in an exclusive interview with Harper’s Bazaar published on April 17, 2026. This will be her first child with her partner, French music producer Tanguy Destable, with whom she has been in a relationship since March 2025.

Family Life and Recent Developments

Portman’s third child will join her two children from her previous marriage to choreographer Benjamin Millepied: 14-year-old son Aleph and 9-year-old daughter Amalia. According to USA Today, Portman’s divorce from Millepied was finalized in February 2024 after 11 years of marriage. Since the divorce, Portman has continued to reside in Paris, a city she first moved to in 2014 and returned to in 2023.

In May 2026, Portman offered a glimpse into her life in the French capital via social media, sharing photos of her routine, which includes walks along the River Seine and time spent with her dog. The actress, who maintains a high level of privacy regarding her personal life, expressed her perspective on this new chapter in her interview with Harper’s Bazaar, describing the pregnancy as a “miracle” and a “privilege.”

Fertility and Personal Perspective

During her announcement, Portman addressed the challenges associated with fertility. As the daughter of a fertility doctor, she noted that she grew up with an awareness of the difficulties some people face when trying to conceive. She emphasized her desire to be respectful of those who have experienced struggles in their own fertility journeys, while also expressing excitement about expanding her family with Destable.

Born in Jerusalem in 1981, Portman has had a career spanning several decades, beginning with her breakout role in the 1994 film Léon: The Professional. She gained widespread recognition for her role as Padmé Amidala in the Star Wars prequel trilogy and later won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in Black Swan (2010).
