In a heartfelt interview published by Harper's Bazaar on Friday, Oscar-winning actress Natalie Portman shared the joyous news that she is pregnant with her third child. This will be her first child with her partner, French music producer Tanguy Destable, marking a new chapter in her personal life.
Expressions of Gratitude and Excitement
Portman, 44, expressed her emotions openly, stating, "Tanguy and I are very excited," and adding, "I'm just very grateful. I know it's such a privilege and a miracle." Her comments reflect a deep appreciation for this life event, which she discussed in detail during the interview.
The actress, who has been living in France since 2014, also revealed her unique perspective on pregnancy, stemming from her upbringing. As the child of a fertility doctor, Portman noted, "I grew up hearing about how hard it is to get pregnant," emphasizing her awareness and thankfulness. She further explained, "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."
Background on Portman's Personal Life
This pregnancy announcement comes a little over a year after French media outlet Voici first reported on Portman's romantic relationship with Destable. Portman's previous marriage was to "Black Swan" choreographer Benjamin Millepied, with whom she shares two children: son Aleph, 14, and daughter Amalia, 9. The couple finalized their divorce in 2024 after 11 years of marriage, making this new pregnancy a significant milestone in her post-divorce life.
Portman's career has been illustrious, with notable roles in films like "Black Swan," for which she won an Academy Award, and her recent appearances at events such as the 2026 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. Despite her busy professional schedule, she has maintained a focus on family and personal well-being, as evidenced by this latest development.
The news has sparked interest among fans and media alike, highlighting Portman's continued prominence in both the entertainment industry and public life. Her candid discussion about fertility challenges adds a layer of relatability and depth to the announcement, resonating with many who face similar experiences.
