Natalie Portman has been spotted without her wedding ring, just two months after her marriage was left in tatters following her husband's alleged affair.

The 42-year-old actress was pictured in Australia on Friday on her and Benjamin Millepied’s 11th anniversary. The couple share two children together, but their relationship was said to be hanging in the balance after the 46-year-old reportedly cheated on his wife with climate activist Camille Étienne, 25.

Natalie spent the day at the Angel City Equity Summit in support of Angel City Football Club, a National Women's Soccer League team which she co-founded. The summit was held at the Sydney Opera House.

Natalie looked very stylish, wearing a grey blazer and white button-up shirt. She opted for a pair of light blue shoes and black suede slip-on shoes.

The Black Swan star styled her outfit with a pair of black cat eye sunglasses, but her Jamie Wolf-designed wedding ring was noticeably missing. Natalie also decided to ditch her engagement ring for the outing.

Her decision not to wear the ring comes after Benjamin was said to be doing all he could to win back Natalie's trust following his alleged affair. A source has said the affair was short-lived and is now over.

Benjamin is thought to be hoping Natalie can forgive him for cheating and that they can overcome their marital problems. The source said: "He knows he made an enormous mistake and he is doing all he can to get Natalie to forgive him and keep their family together."

"Natalie is incredibly private and has no intention of playing this out in the media. Her biggest priority is protecting her children and their privacy," the source told People.

Natalie and Benjamin share two children together - 11-year-old son Aleph and six-year-old daughter Amalia. The couple tied the knot in a Jewish ceremony held in Big Sur, California, on August 4, 2012. Reports suggest Natalie and Benjamin's marriage has been on the rocks since November last year.
