Natalie Portman, the Oscar\u2011winning actress known for her roles in Black Swan<\/em> and the Star Wars<\/em> saga, has long kept her personal life close to her chest. Yet as the actress approaches her 45th birthday and prepares to welcome a third child, she\u2019s sharing more candid reflections on what it means to be a mother, the realities of pregnancy, and the values she hopes to pass on to the next generation.<\/p>\n

A New Chapter in Natalie Portman\u2019s Family Life<\/h2>\n

In April 2026, Portman confirmed her pregnancy with her boyfriend, French businessman Tanguy Destable, in an interview with Harper\u2019s Bazaar<\/em>. The couple, both parents to two children from previous relationships, are now expecting their first baby together. Portman, who is 44, expressed a mixture of excitement and gratitude, noting that she \u201cknows how lucky it is\u201d to experience the miracle of pregnancy.<\/p>\n

She said, \u201cI grew up hearing about how hard it is to get pregnant. I have so many people I love who\u2019ve had such a hard time with it that I want to be respectful around that as well. It\u2019s such a beautiful, joyous thing, and it\u2019s also not an easy thing.\u201d The actress emphasized her awareness of the privilege she enjoys and her deep appreciation for the opportunity to expand her family.<\/p>\n

Her Thoughts on Pregnancy and Parenthood<\/h2>\n

Portman\u2019s comments reflect a mature perspective that has evolved over the years. After her divorce from choreographer Benjamin Millepied, she began speaking more openly about her role as a mother. The actress has two children from that marriage: a son, Aleph, and a daughter, Amalia. She has repeatedly highlighted the joy of watching her kids grow into their own identities.<\/p>\n

In a 2025 profile for Interview<\/em> magazine, Portman told journalist Jenna Ortega that her children \u201care always a source of excitement, because you just see them develop into the individuals they are.\u201d She stressed that parenting is a continuous learning experience, and that she is grateful for the chance to guide her children through life\u2019s challenges.<\/p>\n

Portman has also expressed a clear stance on the entertainment industry\u2019s influence on young actors. She believes that children should not be pressured into acting careers, citing the potential for exploitation and the importance of allowing them to explore a range of interests. Her own experience as a child star has informed this viewpoint, and she has used her platform to advocate for healthier boundaries for young performers.<\/p>\n
