Natalie Portman Expecting Third Child With New Boyfriend

Natalie Portman has confirmed she is pregnant with her third child, her first with partner Tanguy Destable, marking a significant personal milestone for the acclaimed actress.

The 44-year-old actress shared the news in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar published on Friday, April 17, 2026, expressing her excitement and gratitude about the pregnancy. “Tanguy and I are very excited,” Portman told the publication. “I’m just very grateful. I know it’s such a privilege and a miracle.”

Portman acknowledged the emotional complexity surrounding fertility, drawing from her personal experiences and her father’s profession as a fertility specialist. “I grew up hearing about how hard it is to get pregnant,” she said. “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. It’s such a beautiful, joyous thing, and it’s also not an easy thing.”

She emphasized her deep appreciation for the pregnancy, noting her awareness of how fortunate she feels. “I know how lucky it is. I’m very aware, and I’m very grateful. I have deep appreciation and gratitude,” Portman added.

The actress has been in a relationship with French musician and producer Tanguy Destable since early 2025. Their romance began after her divorce from Benjamin Millepied, which was finalized in March 2024. Portman and Millepied were married from 2012 to 2023 and share two children: son Aleph, who is 14, and daughter Amalia, who is 9.

Portman reflected on the emotional maturity she brings to this pregnancy compared to earlier experiences. “There is a gratitude that when you’re young, you don’t necessarily grasp,” she said. “And there’s a calm and knowing myself: who I want to spend time with, what kind of energy I want around me that makes the experience so beautiful every day.”

This pregnancy comes amid a continued presence in film, with recent appearances in the heist comedy *Fountain of Youth* alongside John Krasinski and involvement in the upcoming art world satire *The Gallerist*, directed by Cathy Yan and featuring a cast that includes Jenna Ortega, Charli XCX, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Da’Vine Joy Randolph. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2026 and is scheduled for wider release later this year.

Throughout her career, Portman has maintained a private approach to her family life, rarely sharing details about her children on social media. She has previously noted that her children are often uninterested in seeing her work, telling E! News in January 2026, “My kids are so resistant to seeing anything that I’m in.”

The announcement has been met with warmth from fans and media outlets, underscoring the enduring public interest in both her professional achievements and personal journey. As she prepares to welcome her third child, Portman continues to balance her roles as a celebrated actress and a mother, grounded in gratitude and reflection.
