Natalie Portman Expecting Third Child With Partner Tanguy Destable

Natalie Portman has announced she is pregnant with her third child, her first with partner Tanguy Destable, describing the pregnancy as a “miracle” and expressing deep gratitude for the opportunity to expand her family.

The 44-year-old actress shared the news in an exclusive interview with Harper’s Bazaar, where she spoke openly about her journey to motherhood and the emotions surrounding this pregnancy. “Tanguy and I are very excited,” Portman said. “I’m just very grateful. I know it’s such a privilege and a miracle.”

Portman, who has two children from her previous marriage to Benjamin Millepied — son Aleph, 14, and daughter Amalia, 9 — emphasized her awareness of the challenges many face when trying to conceive. “I grew up hearing about how hard it is to get pregnant,” she explained. “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.”

The actress reflected on how her perspective on pregnancy has evolved with age, and experience. “There is a gratitude that when you’re young, you don’t necessarily grasp,” she noted. “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. And knowing it’s probably the last time, I cherish every moment.”

Physically, Portman said she is feeling strong and energetic during this pregnancy. “I have more energy than I thought I might,” she said, adding that she maintains her wellness through swimming and gyrotonics. She also emphasized the importance of spending time with her existing children, calling it “always the best.”

Portman and Destable, a French music producer, have been in a relationship since early 2025, following her divorce from Millepied, which was finalized in March 2024. The couple met through mutual friends after her separation from the choreographer and filmmaker.

This announcement marks Portman’s third pregnancy and her first child with Destable. She has consistently spoken about the emotional significance of this milestone, framing it not just as a personal joy but as a moment worthy of reflection and respect for those who have faced fertility struggles.

As she prepares to welcome her third child, Portman continues to balance her personal life with her professional commitments. She has two upcoming projects with her production company, MountainA, though specific details about those endeavors have not been disclosed in her recent comments.
