Natalie Portman and her spouse, Benjamin Millipied, find themselves in a turbulent situation as reports emerge of his alleged involvement in an affair with a significantly younger woman, Your Content has learned.
According to French outlet Voici and corroborated by Page Six, Millipied, 45, was reportedly engaged in a relationship with a 25-year-old woman.
While sources confirmed that Portman and Millipied are still together, People magazine reported that the alleged affair was short-lived and now appears to be over.
Insiders have labeled this situation an “enormous mistake” on Millipied’s part, acknowledging his awareness of the gravity of his alleged transgression and his efforts to mend their relationship.
Representatives for Portman declined to comment on the matter, and neither she nor Millipied have addressed the recent reports.
The acclaimed actress, 41, and the accomplished dancer and choreographer tied the knot in 2012 and have been married for over a decade.
Although sources claim the couple experienced a separation last year before reuniting, it seems unrelated to Millipied’s alleged affair.
However, in March of this year, Portman reportedly discovered the affair, causing significant turmoil in their marriage.
Adding complexity to the situation, published photos captured Millipied in the company of climate activist Camille Étienne, who is also 25 years old.
Sources close to the couple revealed that Portman and Millipied are currently trying to work through their issues.
Millipied is making every effort to seek forgiveness from Portman, emphasizing his love for her and their family.
Portman, known for her guarded approach to personal matters, is focused on protecting their children and maintaining their privacy.
It is worth noting that their marital problems appeared to impact the production of Portman’s latest film, May December, directed by renowned filmmaker Todd Haynes.
The movie, starring Julianne Moore and Charles Melton, explores the fallout of a scandalous relationship between an older woman and a younger man.
May December received rave reviews following its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, with critics praising the performances of all three leads. However, Millipied did not accompany Portman to the prestigious event.
Despite the challenges, Portman and Millipied were seen together at the festival, and subsequent public appearances, including attending a Beyoncé concert and sharing a kiss in Paris, indicated a possible reconciliation.
According to Voici, Portman discovered the alleged affair in March, and recent photos published by the outlet showed Millipied and Étienne separately entering his office before leaving at different times.
The couple initially met on the set of the film Black Swan in 2009, where Millipied choreographed the ballet-themed production and even appeared in it.
They became engaged in 2010 and tied the knot in 2012. Together, they have a son named Aleph, 12, and a daughter named Amalia, six.
Despite recent troubles, Portman posted a joyful photo of the couple holding hands on their tenth anniversary in August of last year, giving no indication of the difficulties that lay ahead,‘according to Page SIX.
