Natalie Portman’s Husband is Fighting to Save Their Marriage After His Affair
Natalie Portman and her husband, ballet dancer Benjamin Millipied, have hit a rocky patch in their marriage after revelations that he had an affair with a much younger woman.
According to Voici, a French outlet that first reported the news, Benjamin allegedly had an affair with a 25-year-old woman, Camille Étienne. But a source confirmed to Page Six that Natalie and Benjamin are still together despite the marriage troubles: “They have not split and are trying to work things out. Ben is doing everything he can to get Natalie to forgive him. He loves her and their family.”
People reported that one insider revealed that the affair did happen, but it was short-lived. As of now, the romance is already done and over.
Like how many refer to this relationship outside marriage, what happened with Benjamin and this woman was also considered a mistake. Natalie’s husband is very much aware of the impact and scale of this infidelity.
“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,” the source claimed.
The Oscar-winning actress and her husband, who works as a choreographer and dancer, met on the set of Black Swan in 2009 and got married in 2012. News about the two separating and reuniting last year had also surfaced, but this brief separation was not in any way related to the alleged affair.
Natalie learned about her husband’s infidelity sometime in March this year, which has thrown their marriage into chaos and heartache.
Photos of Benjamin and Camille Étienne, a climate activist, were published in March.
As of now, Natalie and Benjamin are trying to make the relationship work. Benjamin has been reportedly doing everything he can to have his wife forgive him and give him a second chance.
Natalie, one of the leads of the Thor: Love and Thunder movie, has always been very private about her personal and married life. And with this problem, too, the actress’ utmost priority is protecting the children.
According to sources, the marital problems between Natalie and Benjamin escalated during the filming of her latest movie, May December, directed by Todd Haynes. Natalie co-stars in the film with Julianna Moore and Charles Melton, who play a married couple.
During the 23-day shooting of the movie, it was revealed that the issues in Natalie’s marriage had become an open secret. And although the film had a very successful premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, with Natalie, Julianna, and Charles being commended for their powerful performances, the one person noticeably missing was Natalie’s husband.
During high-profile events, Benjamin usually accompanies his wife to show his support, and his absence was felt during the premiere. But to everyone’s surprise, Natalie and Benjamin both attended the Beyoncé concert in Paris on May 26, and then after three days, they were also snapped sharing a kiss.
As of now, representatives of Natalie or Benjamin have yet to release any official statement about the matter.
