Natalie Portman Thanks Friends Who ‘Lift’ Her ‘Up’ After Benjamin Millepied Divorce

Natalie Portman shouted out her friends in a birthday post shared via Instagram.

This special shoutout comes shortly after Natalie split from her estranged husband, Benjamin Millepied – whom she met on the set of Black Swan – in August 2023. Throughout their 11 years of marriage, the then-couple welcomed Aleph and Amalia, whom “she and Ben really love” and “are equally focused on being the best co-parents they can be,” an insider told People back in March. Despite the heartbreak, an insider told Us Weekly, “Natalie is her confident self [again]…It took her a while to get her smile back after the divorce, but she has turned a corner…She’s really coming into her own self-happiness.”
