Natalie Portman stunned in a show-stopping revenge dress after quietly confirming her split from husband Benjamin Millepied.
The 42-year-old Oscar winner showed her estranged husband what he was missing as she arrived for an appearance on JImmy Kimmel Live, as she strutted across the studio lot in front of waiting photographers. Natalie looked sensational in the black strapless mini dress which featured a sheer black bralette underneath, which she teamed with sky-high black heels.
It marks a new beginning for the mother-of-two, who has laid low since cheating allegations rocked her marriage last year. Natalie and Benjamin, who wed in 2012 and share two children - Aleph, 12, and Amalia, six - have reportedly parted ways after the French choreographer allegedly had an affair.

A source told People that the couple were working through their marital struggles as the affair was “short lived” and Benjamin was “doing all he can to get Natalie to forgive him and keep their family together”.

However, it seems their marriage is now over, as Natalie confirmed the news in an interview with Wall Street Journal. Discussing her family life, she said she lived with her two children in Paris, but made no mention of her estranged husband. The interview was published just days after she made a solo appearance at the Golden Globes in Los Angeles on Sunday, where the Star Wars actress was seen without her wedding ring.

Just one month later, they were seen spending time with their children in Paris, but neither had wedding rings on.
The couple first met on the set of Black Swan in 2009, and less than one year later, they announced they were engaged, and expecting their first child together. Natalie fondly reflected on her time making the critically-acclaimed movie, and credited Benjamin for making it a beautiful experience.
“I met my husband on it, so I think I was in, like, dreamland … We had a whole, like, he was teaching me to dance. You know, one of those romantic [stories] … It was definitely exciting and fun. It was beautiful. I don't know about instant. It was like I really got to know him and that was when it seemed like, 'Oh this is the person,'” she sweetly shared.
