Exclusive: Natalie Portman’s Pregnancy Journey, A Peek Inside
Portman, 42, cradles her baby bump in the new image she shared, wearing an open blue striped shirt. Photographer Shelby Duncan captured a peaceful and intimate moment as the actress prepares to become a mum again.
Portman said she was “thrilled” to have the baby and thanked the photographer for “capturing this time in my life.” The post quickly garnered widespread support from fans and fellow celebrities.
Third Child and a Fresh Start
It will be Portman’s third child and her first with French music producer Tanguy Destable (Tepr). She already has two children, Aleph and Amalia, with her ex-husband, choreographer Benjamin Millepied.
Portman has remained in Paris since her 2024 divorce, focusing on raising her children while balancing her professional acting career. During this pregnancy she has apparently taken on a quieter lifestyle in France.
What’s Behind This Pregnancy’s Differences
Earlier this year, Portman shared her new perspective that pregnancy in her mid-40s has given her. She called it a “privilege” and a “miracle,” but also said fertility struggles are not that uncommon.
This pregnancy feels calmer than her previous ones, largely because of the confidence and life experience that has come with age, she said. “Being outside, swimming and enjoying Paris has helped make this period especially meaningful,” Portman also said.
Fans Celebrate Personal Update
Within minutes, the Instagram post had thousands of reactions, with many fans praising Portman for sharing such a personal moment. Many appreciated her willingness to speak openly about becoming pregnant later in life, and supporters called the pictures elegant and inspiring.
The actress, who generally keeps her private life out of the spotlight, has provided glimpses into her family life through these random updates, much to the delight of her fans.
What’s Next for Natalie Portman?
Portman is also anticipated to return to acting after stepping away to focus on her family with upcoming film projects while preparing for the birth of her third child. But for now, she’s soaking in this new chapter in Paris, with her eyes on the final weeks of pregnancy.
