Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied: Protecting Their Children’s Privacy Amid Fame

Natalie Portman is indeed renowned for her roles as Padmé Amidala in the “Star Wars” prequels and Jane Foster in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

In her personal life, she is a devoted mother to two children, Aleph Portman-Millepied and Amalia Millepied, whom she keeps away from the public eye to ensure their privacy.

Natalie Portman shares her two children with husband Benjamin Millepied, who is a dancer, choreographer, and director.

The couple married in an intimate outdoor celebration in Big Sur, California, on August 4, 2012.

They welcomed their son, Aleph, in June 2011, and their daughter, Amalia, in February 2017.

Portman missed the 2017 Academy Awards ceremony due to Amalia’s birth; she was nominated for Best Actress for her role as Jackie Kennedy in “Jackie.”

Between her acting career and motherhood, Natalie Portman has certainly been busy. In a 2016 interview, Portman shared that being a mom has “made me much calmer under stress,” a quality that undoubtedly benefits her as a working actor in the entertainment industry.

Natalie Portman is the co-founder of the Los Angeles Angel City Football Club in the National Women’s Soccer League.

In another interview, she emphasized the importance of her children seeing and supporting the team, highlighting her commitment to promoting women’s sports and serving as a positive role model for her kids.

“I think that for all kids, it’s so influential to see female athletes be celebrated as they deserve,” she told.

“I mean, we grew up as girls being expected to idolize male athletes, and we did. If you see excellence, you can be in awe of it no matter who is being excellent.

So, I think that for all our kids, it really gives me tingles thinking about how different their world will be growing up with icons we have on our team.”

Despite their public personas, Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied remain very private about their children.

They have been seen out together on occasion, but details about their kids are rarely shared.

In May 2020, Portman briefly posted a rare throwback photo of her son and daughter on Instagram, which she later deleted.
