Exciting News for Natalie Portman
Natalie Portman, the Oscar-winning actress, has announced that she is expecting her third child, marking her first with French music producer Tanguy Destable. The announcement was made in an exclusive interview with Harper’s Bazaar on April 17, 2026. Portman, 44, expressed her excitement, stating, “Tanguy and I are very excited. I’m just very grateful. I know it’s such a privilege and a miracle.”
Background on Portman's Family
Portman shares two children, Aleph, 14, and Amalia, 9, with her ex-husband, choreographer Benjamin Millepied. The couple divorced in 2024 after 11 years of marriage, following reports of Millepied's alleged infidelity. Portman and Destable, who is known by his stage name Tepr, began dating in early 2025, shortly after her divorce was finalized.
Reflections on Pregnancy
In her interview, Portman reflected on her unique perspective on pregnancy, shaped by her upbringing as the daughter of a fertility doctor. She acknowledged the challenges many face in conceiving, saying, “I grew up hearing about how hard it is to get pregnant. 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.” She emphasized the joy of her current situation, stating, “It’s such a beautiful, joyous thing, and it’s also not an easy thing.”
Portman also noted that this pregnancy feels different, as she cherishes the experience more deeply at this stage in her life. “There is a gratitude that when you’re young, you don’t necessarily grasp,” she explained. “And there’s a calm and knowing myself: who I want to spend time with, what kind of energy I want around me that makes the experience so beautiful every day. Knowing it’s probably the last time, I cherish every moment.”
Health and Well-being During Pregnancy
Portman reported feeling physically well during her pregnancy, stating, “I have more energy than I thought I might.” She has been active, engaging in swimming and Gyrotonics to maintain her strength. Living in Paris, she has enjoyed the beautiful spring weather, which has allowed her to spend time outdoors with her children.
Upcoming Projects
Despite her focus on family, Portman remains committed to her career. She has recently completed filming for two upcoming projects: “The Gallerist,” directed by Cathy Yan, and “Good Sex,” a romantic comedy directed by Lena Dunham, set to release in 2027.
Conclusion
As Portman prepares to welcome her third child, she continues to balance her personal life with her professional commitments. Her reflections on gratitude and the challenges of pregnancy resonate with many, highlighting the joys and complexities of motherhood. The couple's journey into parenthood together marks a new chapter in Portman's life, filled with hope and excitement.
