Natalie Portman Is Pregnant With Her Third Child, Her First With Partner Tanguy Destable Natalie Portman has confirmed she is expecting her third child, her first with partner Tanguy Destable. The 44-year-old actress shared the news in a recent interview, expressing her excitement and gratitude for the pregnancy. Portman, who already has two children with her ex-husband Benjamin Millepied, described the experience as both a privilege and a miracle. She acknowledged the challenges many face when trying to conceive, noting her father’s work as a fertility doctor gave her early awareness of the difficulties involved. “I grew up hearing about how hard it is to get pregnant,” she said. “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.” Despite being older than during her previous pregnancies, Portman said she has felt more energetic than expected. She emphasized her intention to cherish every moment, acknowledging this may be her last pregnancy. “There’s a calm [this time] and knowing myself: who I want to spend time with, what kind of energy I want around me,” she added, reflecting on how self-awareness has shaped her approach to this journey. The announcement comes after Portman’s split from Millepied and her subsequent relationship with Destable, a French music producer. Whereas she has kept much of her personal life private, Portman has occasionally shared glimpses of her life abroad, including time spent raising her children in France. As she prepares for the arrival of her third child, Portman continues to balance her personal life with her ongoing work in film and advocacy. Her openness about the emotional and physical aspects of pregnancy at 44 adds to a broader conversation about fertility, motherhood, and the varied paths to family building.
