Natalie Portman is set to welcome her third child, a joyous announcement she made exclusively to Harper’s Bazaar. The actress, aged 44, shared that she and her partner, Tanguy Destable, are anticipating the arrival of their baby. Expressing her gratitude, Portman remarked, “Tanguy and I are very excited. I know it’s such a privilege and a miracle.”
This announcement comes as Portman embarks on a new chapter in her life following her recent divorce from Benjamin Millepied, with whom she was married for 11 years. Their divorce was finalized in February 2024. Reports indicate that her relationship with Destable became public earlier this year, just months after her separation.
Portman is already a mother to two children, Aleph, aged 14, and Amalia, aged 9, from her previous marriage. She has expressed pride in her son’s entrepreneurial spirit, highlighting his clothing line, Vanté. Portman shared, “I wore one of his shirts on stage,” showcasing her support for his creative pursuits. Her children serve as a constant source of joy, with Portman noting their individual growth as particularly exciting.
Tanguy Destable, Portman’s partner, brings his own creative background to their relationship. Hailing from Morlaix, a small town in Brittany, France, he has had a diverse journey in music. Destable, known professionally as Tepr, began making music as a solo artist when he struggled to find band members in his hometown. His innovative approach involved utilizing a sampler and synthesizers to replicate the sounds of a full band.
Tepr has made a name for himself in the electronic music scene, collaborating with notable artists such as Yelle and Woodkid. His work extends beyond collaborations; he has contributed to film scores and performed on international stages, including the 2016 Rio Olympics. In recent years, he has worked with Lady Gaga on a special project for Dom Perignon and has been involved in various soundtracks for films and series.
Destable and Portman’s relationship marks a new chapter for both, especially for Portman, as this is her first public romance since her divorce. Both partners are parents, with Destable having two sons from his previous relationship with French actress Louise Bourgoin.
Living in Paris, Destable has enjoyed the vibrant cultural scene, a quality that Portman appreciates as well. She expressed her love for life in the city, calling it “a dream” and noting the incredible stimulation it offers through friendships and experiences.
With an exciting new phase ahead for Portman and Destable, both are blending their artistic endeavors with parenthood as they prepare to welcome their growing family.
