Oscar-winning actor Natalie Portman has welcomed her third child in Paris, marking her first child with partner Tanguy Destable. The birth occurred last month, following a pregnancy the 45-year-old star announced in April during an interview with Harper’s Bazaar.
The arrival of the new baby expands the family for Portman, who shares two older children with her ex-husband, director and choreographer Benjamin Millepied. According to reports drawing from a source close to the actor, the birth took place in the French capital in the French capital last month, adding a new chapter to her life in Paris, where she has maintained a residence since 2014.
Family Expansion and Partnership With Tanguy Destable
The newborn is the first child for Portman and the French musician Tanguy Destable. French media first linked the couple romantically, and their relationship became public knowledge when a source confirmed their partnership to entertainment media in March 2025.
Photographs published by Page Six show Destable carrying the newborn on his chest during a walk with Portman through the city, offering a public glimpse into their lives as new parents. Portman was previously married to Millepied, whom she met while working on the film Black Swan—a role that earned her an Academy Award for best actress—before their marriage in 2012 and subsequent divorce finalized in 2024.
Pregnancy Reflections and Lifestyle in Paris
Portman first shared news of her pregnancy in April through an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, expressing enthusiasm alongside her partner. Tanguy and I are very excited, she told the magazine at the time, adding that she felt an immense sense of privilege and gratitude regarding the pregnancy.
Reflecting on her third pregnancy, Portman noted that the experience felt calmer than her previous ones, attributing a different perspective to her age. She maintained her physical routine throughout the months leading up to the birth by engaging in swimming and gyrotonic training. Amid a schedule that included the completion of several work projects, she spent her time enjoying daily life in Paris, taking walks in local parks, and appreciating art alongside her older children, Aleph, 15, and Amalia, 9.
Balancing Stardom and Family Life
Portman’s career spans major cinematic franchises, including roles in the Star Wars saga and Marvel Studios’ Thor films, alongside critically acclaimed dramatic performances.
By staying active in Paris and intentionally clearing space after wrapping recent professional commitments, she managed to focus closely on her household during the months leading into the birth. Representatives for the actor have not released further public details concerning the newborn’s exact birth date or name, leaving the private milestone to close family circles as the couple settles into parenthood together.
