Natalie Portman Reveals She’s Pregnant with Third Child
Natalie Portman is “awed” to be welcoming a 3rd youngster with her accomplice, the French music producer Tanguy Destable.
The actor revealed the information solely to Harper’s Bazaar. “Tanguy and I are very excited,” she says. “I’m just very grateful. I know it’s such a privilege and a miracle.”
Portman, who’s 44, is the kid of a fertility physician and has a eager consciousness of the challenges and heartbreak that may accompany a fertility journey. “I grew up hearing about how hard it is to get pregnant,” she says. “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. It’s such a beautiful, joyous thing, and it’s also not an easy thing.” She provides, “And so I know how lucky it is. I’m very aware, and I’m very grateful. I have deep appreciation and gratitude.”
Gratitude is without doubt one of the emotions she notes she is experiencing extra profoundly with this being pregnant. She has two youngsters from her earlier marriage to choreographer Benjamin Millepied: son Aleph, 14, and daughter Amalia, 9. “There is a gratitude that when you’re young, you don’t necessarily grasp,” she says. “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. And knowing it’s probably the last time, I cherish every moment.”
Physically, Portman says she is feeling nice. “I have more energy than I thought I might,” she says, noting that this being pregnant feels much like her earlier ones. She says she’s swimming and doing gyrotonics to “keep strong” and spending plenty of time with her children, “which is always the best.”
Portman has accomplished two tasks on the horizon with her manufacturing firm, MountainA. Cofounded with Sophie Mas in 2020, MountainA prioritizes filmmaker-driven tasks that usually concentrate on the feminine perspective. Portman stars as a high-strung artwork supplier within the absurdist comedy The Gallerist, directed by Cathy Yan, which is about for launch in late 2026. (The plot includes Portman’s character making an attempt to promote a corpse at Art Basel.) Netflix’s good intercourse which is able to come out in early 2027, is a romantic comedy written and directed by Lena Dunham during which Portman stars alongside Mark Ruffalo, Meg Ryan, and Rashida Jones. She’s additionally the brand new face of Tiffany & Co., and she or he has a longstanding relationship with Dior.
This implies that Portman has the time and area proper now to concentrate on her being pregnant. She’s having fun with being pregnant in Paris, the place she has been based mostly, on and off, for a number of years. “There’s been beautiful spring weather,” she says, “so it’s been pretty amazing to just walk in the incredible parks here and go see art. Just the usual things you do when you’re not working!” She additionally jokes, “In France, they consider full-term to be 41 weeks rather than 40, so I guess I get an extra week to be pregnant this time around.”
I ask if Portman succumbs in any respect to the onslaught of knowledge hurled at new moms digitally throughout social media. “I’m not really looking at social media that much,” she says. “I think maybe just having done it twice before… I read so many books the first time, and now I’m like, ‘Oh, we know what to do.’ It’s okay. You figure it out. We’re going to make lots of mistakes, no matter how hard we try. And also, we’re going to do a lot right without having to do research. “I feel like if you’re just present and loving, that’s the best thing possible.”
And, no, there are not any unusual being pregnant cravings. Just fruit, says Portman, particularly pineapple and melon.
