Natalie Portman was seen enjoying a casual lunch with her family in Los Angeles, a sighting reported by Daily Mail. The actress and her loved ones later spent part of the afternoon strolling together through California, with Portman dressed in jeans and a sweatshirt. Observers noted she was not wearing a wedding ring during the outing, a detail that sparked speculation amid ongoing conversations about her relationship status.
Earlier in January, discussions about Portman considering a move abroad with her children surfaced amid rumors about a potential divorce from Benjamin Millepied. The Daily Mail reiterated those rumors and suggested Portman might pursue divorce paperwork, even as Millepied sought ways to heal the relationship after personal betrayals. The star was said to be taking time to process the situation and to decide how to explain the changes to her children while navigating the required steps.
Portman and Millepied first crossed paths on film sets in 2009 while working on Black Swan, a project that not only connected them personally but also produced a family life centered around their two children. Their son Aleph Millepied-Portman arrived in 2011, and the couple joined in marriage during the summer of 2012. In 2017 they welcomed their daughter Amalia Millepied-Portman, cementing a family that has frequently shared the spotlight with Portman’s prolific acting career on screen and her advocacy work off screen.
Public interest in Portman often tracks how she balances motherhood, film work, and social engagement. Her recent appearances, including a standout slit dress worn for a magazine cover shoot with actor Bradley Cooper, have sparked conversation about her evolving style and professional choices. The public, fans, and media continue to follow her career with curiosity about what projects she will pursue next and how she will navigate personal life changes in the coming years.
