Natalie Portman's Ex-Husband Appears To Be Back With Secret Girlfriend After His Affair Scandal
Natalie Portman‘s ex-husband, Benjamin Millepied, seems to be moving on from their divorce and not keeping it a secret.
The French choreographer, who finalized his divorce with Portman earlier this year, was photographed packing on the PDA with a mystery woman who appears to be the same French woman he was rumored to be having an affair with, Camille Étienne.
In photos obtained by E! News, Millepied was seen locking lips with a woman on the streets of Paris on Oct. 15.
Back in June 2023, it was reported that Millepied, 47, and Portman, 33, were trying to save their marriage after he allegedly had a short-lived affair. Page Six shared photos of former New York City Ballet principal dancer, Étienne, entering and exiting Millepied’s office building a month earlier, claiming she and Portman’s husband had been spending time together.
Days after the photos were taken, Millepied and Portman were photographed kissing while out to dinner.
The couple were reported to be trying to work things out and were spotted together several times over the next few months. “It was short-lived and it is over,” a source told People of Millepied’s affair. “He knows he made an enormous mistake and he is doing all he can to get Natalie to forgive him and keep their family together.”
In March, Portman and Millepied’s divorce was finalized in France, seven months after she privately filed. The exes, who married in 2012, are parents to son Aleph, 13, and daughter Amalia, 7.
Portman addressed her divorce for the first and, so far, only time during a July appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon while speaking about meeting Rihanna back in January at Paris Fashion Week. “I think every woman going through a divorce should get to have Rihanna say to her that she’s a bad bitch,” Portman said. “It was exactly what I needed.”
