After over a decade of marriage, Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied have concluded their matrimonial chapter, People Magazine reports, following a period riddled with rumors. Last year, whispers of Millepied’s possible infidelity began to circulate, casting a shadow on their marriage.
The representative for Portman confirmed that the two had indeed parted ways last June, opting for a discreet separation before finalizing their divorce. Close associates of the ‘Black Swan’ actress conveyed that it was a tough season for her, but the support from her inner circle provided her with much-needed strength during these trying times.
“It was tough for her, but her friends rallied around her,” shared a friend, underscoring the importance of a supportive network in difficult periods.
Despite the challenges faced, Portman has reportedly emerged with a newfound sense of strength, taking solace in the joys brought by her family and friends, as well as her dedication to her craft.
Throughout the separation, the well-being of their two children, Aleph and Amalia, remained paramount for both Portman and Millepied. “Their well-being was the top priority,” the friend added, emphasizing the couple’s commitment to their children’s smooth adjustment to the new family dynamics.
The couple has been lauded for their dedication to managing their separation with the utmost respect for each other and their family, focusing on co-parenting and ensuring the emotional well-being of their children.
The story gained traction when a French publication ran an exposé alleging Millepied’s involvement with a younger individual. However, both Portman and Millepied have maintained a level of privacy regarding their separation and have not publicly confirmed the details reported.
As they move forward, both Portman and Millepied continue to prioritize their family’s harmony and their respective careers, navigating this transition with care and mutual respect.
