Academy Award-winning actress Natalie Portman has shared her feelings about welcoming her third child, expressing that she feels both “lucky” and “grateful” for the addition to her family. The announcement comes as the actress continues to balance her personal life with her ongoing work in film and advocacy.
Portman, who is married to dancer and choreographer Benjamin Millepied, already has two children: a son born in 2011 and a daughter born in 2017. The couple has kept details about their family life relatively private, though Portman has occasionally spoken about motherhood in interviews.
In a recent interview with a lifestyle publication, Portman reflected on the experience of expanding her family, saying she feels “incredibly lucky” to be able to welcome another child into her home. She as well emphasized her gratitude for the support of her partner and the joy of watching her children grow.
“I feel so lucky and grateful,” Portman said, according to the interview. “Every child brings something new, and I’m just thankful to be able to experience this again.”
The actress, known for her roles in films such as “Black Swan,” “V for Vendetta,” and the “Star Wars” prequels, has been an advocate for various causes, including gender equality and environmental sustainability. She has also spoken openly about the challenges and rewards of motherhood in the public eye.
Portman and Millepied met on the set of “Black Swan” in 2009 and married in 2012. They have maintained a relatively low-profile family life despite their public profiles.
While the exact date of the child’s birth has not been publicly disclosed, sources close to the couple confirmed the birth occurred in early 2024. The family has not released further details about the newborn, including name or gender, choosing to keep the information private.
This marks the third child for the couple, who have previously spoken about their desire to raise their children with values of kindness, creativity, and empathy. Portman has said in past interviews that she aims to provide a grounded upbringing for her kids, despite her fame.
As of now, neither Portman nor Millepied has made a formal public announcement about the birth through social media or official channels. The information was shared through a trusted media outlet following an interview.
The actress continues to work on select film projects while prioritizing her family. Her most recent roles include appearances in independent films and voice work in animated features.
Fans and followers have responded warmly to the news, with many expressing congratulations and support across social media platforms. The couple’s decision to keep personal details private has been respected by much of the public and media.
Looking ahead, Portman is expected to continue her selective approach to acting roles, focusing on projects that align with her artistic and personal values. No upcoming film releases have been officially tied to her current availability.
