Natalie Portman Announces Pregnancy With Third Child

Oscar-winning actor Natalie Portman is pregnant with her third child, her first with partner Tanguy Destable, a French music producer who performs under the stage name Tepr. The announcement was made in an exclusive interview with Harper’s Bazaar published on April 17, 2026, where Portman expressed deep gratitude for the pregnancy, calling it a “privilege and a miracle.” At 44, Portman acknowledged the challenges many face with fertility, sharing that she grew up hearing about the difficulties of conception as the daughter of a fertility doctor and wants to remain respectful of those struggles.

Portman already has two children from her marriage to Benjamin Millepied: son Aleph, 14 and daughter Amalia, 9. She finalized her divorce from Millepied in 2024 after 11 years of marriage and began dating Destable in March 2025. Speaking about her current pregnancy, Portman noted that she has felt more energetic than expected and has been maintaining her strength through swimming and Gyrotonics. She also highlighted a cultural difference in prenatal care, observing that in France, where she has lived on and off for years, full term is considered 41 weeks rather than 40, giving her “an extra week to be pregnant this time around.”

I’m just very grateful. I know it’s such a privilege and a miracle.

Portman shared that she views this pregnancy as potentially her last, saying she is cherishing every moment knowing it is “probably the last time” she will experience pregnancy. She emphasized her gratitude, stating, “I know how lucky it is,” and expressed a desire to honor the journey by staying mindful of those who have faced fertility challenges. The actor has kept her older children largely out of the public eye, noting in past interviews that they have encouraged her to take on roles such as in Marvel’s “Thor: Love and Thunder,” which she described as part of her effort to “impress my kids.”

I grew up hearing about how hard it is to get pregnant. I have so many people I love who’ve had such a hard time with it that I want to be respectful around that as well.
