Natalie Portman welcomes third child in Paris.

Actor embraces motherhood again with partner Tanguy Destable.

Academy Award-winning actor Natalie Portman has become a mother for the third time, welcoming her first child with French musician Tanguy Destable. The baby was born in Paris last month, marking a new chapter in Portman’s personal life.

The 45-year-old star is already a mother to two children- Aleph, 15, and Amalia, 9 whom she shares with her former husband, choreographer and director Benjamin Millepied. With the arrival of her third child, Portman now balances motherhood across two different stages of her life, reflecting both continuity and change.

Portman publicly confirmed her pregnancy earlier this year during an interview with Harper’s Bazaar. She spoke candidly about her gratitude, describing the experience as both a privilege and a miracle. “Tanguy and I are very excited. I’m just very grateful. I know it’s such a privilege and a miracle,” she said at the time.

The actor also acknowledged the complexities surrounding pregnancy, noting that she was mindful of how difficult the journey can be for many people. Having grown up hearing stories of struggles with conception, and knowing friends who faced similar challenges, Portman emphasized her awareness of the delicate balance between joy and hardship.

Reflecting on her third pregnancy, Portman admitted that her perspective on motherhood had shifted with age. She described feeling a deeper sense of appreciation and clarity about the people and energy she wanted around her. “There is a gratitude that when you’re young, you don’t necessarily grasp,” she explained.

She further shared that knowing this could be her final pregnancy made her determined to savour every moment. “Knowing it’s probably the last time, I cherish every moment,” she said, highlighting the emotional significance of the experience.

Portman’s relationship with Destable was first confirmed in March 2025, and the couple has since kept their personal life relatively private. The birth of their child marks their first shared milestone as parents, adding a new dimension to Portman’s journey as both an acclaimed actor and devoted mother.

With her latest arrival, Portman continues to balance her career with family life, embracing motherhood with renewed gratitude and joy.
