She’s unbothered.
Natalie Portman is reportedly not “surprised” her ex-husband, Benjamin Millepied, moved on so quickly after their divorce.
“Natalie isn’t surprised that Benjamin has moved on because of how their relationship ended. She thought he’d move on pretty quickly,” a source told Us Weekly.
“[Natalie] hopes Benjamin is happy,” the insider added, noting that the “Black Swan” actress, 43, learned about the pictures of the French dancer, 47, smooching an unknown woman right before they were made public last month.
A second source told the outlet Portman isn’t impacted by her ex’s romantic decisions.
“Benjamin’s dating life doesn’t really have any bearing on Natalie,” the second insider told Us Weekly. “She’s super happy in her life right now and has been prioritizing family and friends.”
Page Six has reached out to reps for both Portman and Millepied but did not immediately hear back.
On Oct. 15, Millepied was seen locking lips with a mystery woman in Paris.
Issues between Portman and Milliepied’s marriage made headlines in June 2023 when Page Six exclusively reported that they were fighting to save their union after she discovered the choreographer had an affair with a climate activist Camille Étienne.
The “Thor: Love and Thunder” star learned about her then-husband’s affair in early March 2023.
A French outlet published photos of Millepied and Étienne, 26, entering his Paris office separately in late May 2023 and exiting two hours later, 10 minutes apart.
“They have not split and are trying to work things out. Ben is doing everything he can to get Natalie to forgive him,” our source shared at the time.
“He loves her and their family.”
In January, Portman fueled divorce rumors when her interview with the Wall Street Journal revealed that she lived in France with her kids, son Aleph, 13, and daughter Amalia, 7 — but failed to mention Millepied.
Though it seemed the couple, who tied the knot in 2012, was trying to work through their issues for the sake of their two children, Portman quietly filed for divorce from the choreographer in July 2023 and finalized the proceedings in February, her rep told People in March.
In June, Portman thanked her friends for lifting her up “again and again” in honor of her 43rd birthday.
