Natalie Portman’s ex Benjamin Millepied is moving on.
Following the former couple’s divorce—which was finalized earlier this year after 11 years of marriage—Benjamin had a cozy outing with a mystery woman in Paris Oct. 15. In the pics, the two displayed some heavy PDA as they shared a passionate kiss while roaming the city.
Natalie, 43, and the choreographer, 47, privately broke up last year, with the Oscar winner, 43, filed for divorce in July 2023, according to People. In March, the divorce was made final in France, where the exes are raising their son Aleph, 13, and daughter Amalia, 7.
Months later, she publicly acknowledged the split for the first time while recalling meeting Rihanna at Paris Fashion Week in January. At the time, the “We Found Love” singer called the May December star, who was still in the middle of her divorce, “one of the hottest b---hes in Hollywood forever.”
And that was the vote of confidence she needed. “I think every woman going through a divorce should get to have Rihanna say to her that she’s a bad b---h,” Natalie told Jimmy Fallon during an appearance on The Tonight Show in July. “It was—it was exactly what I needed.”
And while Benjamin had been the subject of affair rumors prior to his breakup with Natalie—whom he met on set of Black Swan in 2009—she briefly addressed the speculation.
“It's terrible,” she told Vanity Fair in February, “and I have no desire to contribute to it.”
But months later, the Thor: Love and Thunder star was more optimistic as she shared a photo carousel of close friends on social media, expressing her appreciation for her supportive inner circle.
“This year, on my birthday,” she wrote in an Instagram post June 9, “I want to celebrate my gratitude for my friends who lift me up again and again.”
