Natalie Portman breaks silence on husband’s extramarital affairs rumours

Natalie Portman recently addressed the swirling rumors surrounding her husband, Benjamin Millepied, and allegations of his infidelity, expressing a strong reluctance to delve into matters of her personal life. In a conversation with Vanity Fair, the acclaimed “Black Swan” actress conveyed her distaste for the public speculation, stating, “It’s terrible, and I have no desire to contribute to it,” thereby firmly choosing not to fuel the ongoing rumors with further commentary.

The genesis of the rumors can be traced back to reports by the French publication Voici, which alleged that Millepied, a renowned choreographer, was involved in an extramarital affair with a 25-year-old woman. Further stirring the rumor mill, Voici, on June 2, 2023, reported sightings of Millepied spending time with Camille Étienne, a young climate activist, thereby intensifying the speculation about his fidelity.

Amid these allegations, an insider provided a different perspective to Daily Mail, suggesting that the marriage between Portman and Millepied remains intact. The source indicated that the couple is making efforts to reconcile, with Millepied reportedly taking significant steps to regain Portman’s trust and forgiveness, signaling a commitment to preserving their family unit.

Adding to the narrative, another informant relayed to People magazine that Millepied’s alleged affair was fleeting and has since concluded. This source emphasized Millepied’s acknowledgment of his “enormous mistake” and his concerted efforts to mend the relationship with Portman, aiming to sustain their family’s cohesion, according to The New York Times. 

Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied, who have been a celebrated couple within the realms of Hollywood and ballet, respectively, solidified their union in marriage in 2012. Together, they are parents to two children: their son Aleph, aged 12, and their daughter Amalia, aged 6, both of whom are at the heart of their efforts to navigate through the current challenges and maintain the integrity of their family.
