“We had to get to know each other”
It was during the filming of the film black swan that Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied met in 2009. The American played Nina Sayers, The White Swan and the beautiful Princess Odette while the Frenchman played David, Prince Siegfried. After an engagement in December 2010, the two lovebirds were married on the coast of Big Sur in California on August 4, 2012. They also gave birth to two children: a boy Alpeh, born on June 14, 2011 and a girl Amalia born on June 14, 2011. February 22, 2017. In an interview with Marie Claire in 2014, Benjamin Millepied returned to his meeting with the 44-year-old actress: “We had to get to know each other, but Natalie is someone who fulfills my wishes… She has a rare intelligence, and it is extremely attractive. Natalie has this intelligence combined with great physical and moral sophistication.”
Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied also spent time in Paris when the dancer was the Paris Opera’s dance director from 2014 to 2016 before returning to Los Angeles afterwards. A French parenthesis that the actress did not experience very well as she made it known at Jimmy Kimmel in 2016: “People in Los Angeles are freer. The French are very critical, at least in Paris, of your appearance and your personality. You will never wear a sports outfit in the street or garishly colored shorts. nice to get back to where everyone can just be free.” In any case, after ten great years together, Natalie Portman and her darling still have many great years ahead of them!
