A New Addition in Paris
Academy Award-winning actress Natalie Portman has welcomed her third child, marking her first child with partner Tanguy Destable, according to reports confirmed by People and Page Six. The newborn joins Portman’s two older children, 15-year-old son Aleph and 9-year-old daughter Amalia, whom she shares with her ex-husband, choreographer Benjamin Millepied.
Photographic evidence published by Page Six shows the couple in Paris, with Destable carrying the infant in a chest carrier. The birth follows a period of transition for the 45-year-old actress, who has resided in France since 2014. While the couple has maintained a relatively private relationship since they were first linked in March 2025, Portman confirmed her pregnancy earlier this year.

Reflecting on a ‘Calm’ Experience
In an April interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Portman spoke openly about the experience of her third pregnancy, describing it as a “privilege” and a “miracle.” She noted that this time around, she felt a distinct sense of “calm” and gratitude. “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 shared. “That makes the experience so beautiful every day.”
Portman also discussed the physical and lifestyle adjustments she made during her pregnancy, noting that she maintained a vegan diet, prioritized rest, and engaged in activities like swimming and gyrotonics. She playfully described the experience as a form of “cleanse,” noting that the absence of caffeine and alcohol left her feeling healthier than ever.
Family Dynamics and Background
Portman’s personal life has seen significant changes in recent years. Her marriage to Benjamin Millepied, which began in 2012, concluded with a finalized divorce in early 2024. The couple has since focused on co-parenting their two children. Her partner, Tanguy Destable, a musician known professionally as Tepr, also has two children from a previous relationship with actress Louise Bourgoin.
As Portman settles into this new phase of family life, she has emphasized her focus on domestic well-being and her current life in Paris. Having recently completed several professional projects, the actress has indicated that she is dedicating her time to her family and enjoying the environment she has built for herself in the French capital.
