Natalie Portman 'splits from husband Benjamin Millepied' amid cheating scandal
Natalie Portman has split from her husband of 11 years Benjamin Millepied after an alleged affair.
It has been reported that the actress has called time on her marriage to the French dancer after accusations of infidelity. This comes after it was rumoured that the 46-year-old cheated on his wife of more than a decade with a 25-year-old climate activist.
Previous claims said that Benjamin began a relationship with French activist Camille Etienne, with photos being released of the pair leaving his office building together. Meanwhile, Natalie, 42, has allegedly been trying to salvage their relationship, but it now seems they have been unable to resolve the issues.

Apparent confirmation of the split comes after Natalie was seen without her wedding ring during an appearance in Sydney, Australia on Friday, August 4. This is the second time the couple have reportedly parted ways as they are said to have separated last year before coming back together.

Natalie is said to have been trying to make the relationship work despite the cheating allegations. A source told People Benjamin’s affair was an "enormous mistake’" but was "short-lived and is over".

They both shared sweet messages to one another, with Natalie specifically writing that things "keep getting better" in their relationship.
Natalie and Benjamin first met back in 2009 on the set of Black Swan. The couple connected when Millepied was recruited to choreograph the film. When they had finished filming they were already dating and just a year later they were engaged and expecting their first child.
After having their son, Aleph, in 2011, the pair tied the knot in a coastal California ceremony. They later welcomed a daughter, Amalia, in 2017. The Mirror have contacted Natalie and Benjamin's reps for comment.
