Natalie Portman Confirms Pregnancy With Third Child at 44: Rare Glimpse Into Her Parisian Life

Natalie Portman, 44, is officially expecting her third child, and she’s sharing an intimate glimpse of her life in Paris with fans. The Oscar-winning actress and her partner, French musician Tanguy Destable, are preparing for the arrival of their first child together, and Portman has revealed the exciting news through a touching Instagram post.

In the photo series shared on Thursday, May 7, the Black Swan star gave fans a rare look at her day-to-day life in Paris, where she has lived for nearly a decade. “Paris lately,” Portman captioned the carousel, which included scenic views of the city, her dog, and moments of serenity that showcase her love for the French lifestyle.

The photos began with a serene selfie in front of the River Seine, where the shimmering lights of Paris and iconic architecture provided a stunning backdrop. The actress also shared intimate moments from her everyday life, including pictures of her dog lounging by a bookcase and relaxing in the fresh air outside.

Portman’s life in the French capital has blossomed since she moved there in 2014 after her ex-husband, Benjamin Millepied, took a job as the director of the Paris Opera Ballet. Despite their divorce in 2024, Portman decided to remain in the city with their two children, Aleph, 13, and Amalia, 9.

In her post, Portman shared how much she’s embraced Parisian culture, and how living in the city has shaped her new chapter. “I find the people here are actually incredibly friendly— you just have to know how to interact,” Portman shared with Net-a-Porter in 2025. “It’s a completely different experience, and now when I go back to the U.S., I’m like, ‘Oh, I would go into a store and not say hello to everyone there?’ It’s a completely different mindset.”

Portman also explained why she’s opted to raise her children in Paris. “I wanted my children to grow up here,” she said. “They’re very good at privacy, and I feel like the biggest compliment is ‘elle est très discrète’ [‘she is very discreet’].”

The V for Vendetta actress has found solace in the privacy that Paris offers, and in the last few years, she’s “fallen in love” with the city. Her relationship with Tanguy Destable, whom she met after her divorce, has blossomed as well. The couple’s baby will be their first child together.

Alongside her public announcement, Portman has continued to focus on her career and personal growth. She’s an advocate for women’s rights, environmental activism, and personal empowerment.

The news about Portman’s pregnancy comes just months after she confirmed her relationship with Destable and the joy that comes with starting a family together. Fans, however, were left curious about the future, with many wondering if this third child will change the actress’s lifestyle further.

While Portman hasn’t shared more about the details of the pregnancy, her fans are already rallying around her, sending messages of love and support. Fans of Portman and her growing family can look forward to more updates from the actress as she balances family, career, and a life in Paris.
