Natalie Portman has announced that she is expecting her third child, her first with her partner, the French musician and music producer Tanguy Destable, aka Tepr.
Portman shared the couple’s happy news in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar.
“Tanguy and I are very excited,” the 44-year-old said.
“I’m just very grateful. I know it’s such a privilege and a miracle.”
Portman said her perspective on pregnancy has long been shaped by her upbringing as the daughter of a fertility doctor.
“I grew up hearing about how hard it is to get pregnant,” she told the magazine.
“I have so many people I love who have had such a hard time.”
Portman said she has more energy than she expected, noting that she is cherishing each moment because it will likely be her last pregnancy.
Portman and her former husband, the director and choreographer Benjamin Millepied, have two children together: son Aleph,14, and daughter Amalia, nine.
The former couple married in August 2012. Their divorce was finalised in early 2024.
