Natalie Portman and husband Benjamin Millepied divorce after 11 years of marriage
- The divorce was finalised in France last month amid reports her French choreographer husband had an affair
- The couple wed in California in 2012 and have two children together
Natalie Portman has divorced her French choreographer husband, a source close to the Oscar-winning actress said on Friday.
The “Black Swan” star filed last July to end her marriage of 11 years to Benjamin Millepied, said People magazine, which first reported the news.
The divorce was finalised in France last month, the source confirmed.
Portman, 42, who holds both US and Israeli citizenship, is one of Hollywood’s top actresses.
She made her debut as a child star in Luc Besson’s thriller “Leon: The Professional,” and went on to appear in blockbusters including “Star Wars” and Marvel films, as well as art-house fare.
Portman met Millepied in 2009 on the set of “Black Swan,” a psychological horror story set in the ultra-competitive world of professional ballet, for which she won the best actress Academy Award.
