Portman Avoided American Paparazzi by Giving Birth in France

Unlike her older children, the Oscar-winning actress’s newest baby was born in France, a geographic shift that held key significance for the family. Portman recalled facing intense media attention during her pregnancy in New York and Los Angeles, where she stated she was constantly tracked by dozens of men daily. She described feeling deeply unsettled by the heightened public interest directed at pregnant women in those American cities. In contrast, she noted that people in France largely left her alone once her pregnancy became known.

Portman Divorces Benjamin Millepied After 11 Years of Marriage

The birth follows Portman’s separation from dancer Benjamin Millepied, whom she divorced in 2024 after an 11-year marriage. French media outlets photographed Millepied with a 25-year-old environmental activist in 2023, and attempts to salvage the relationship for the sake of their two children, Aleph and Amalia, ultimately proved unsuccessful. Portman now shares parenting duties with Destable.

Reflecting on her newest arrival, the actress shared her emotional perspective on expanding her family later in life. “I am filled with wonder and joy by this magical little being,” Portman said, adding that the experience lets her view her older children with fresh eyes as they grow. “Love is the most important thing. It really seems that simple to me, to be kind and loving and to know how to laugh. That’s all that matters. That’s what happiness is at my age.”
