Renowned actress Natalie Portman is embracing a new chapter in her life, exuding renewed confidence and joy following her divorce from Benjamin Millepied. Sources close to the star reveal that Portman, known for her iconic role in “Black Swan,” has emerged from the split with a positive outlook and a focus on her own needs.

The actress, 42, and Millepied, 46, finalized their divorce in March, bringing an end to their 11-year marriage. The former couple shares two children, son Aelph, 12, and daughter Amalia, seven. Portman, now a single mother, is taking time to prioritize her happiness and well-being.

On May 28, Portman was spotted in London outside a bar with actor Paul Mescal, 28. The pair first met last year during an interview for Variety, where Mescal praised Portman’s brilliance. Despite their recent outing, sources confirm that Portman is not currently dating and is instead focused on her children and career.

Portman’s divorce from Millepied came amidst rumors of his infidelity with climate activist Camille Étienne, 25. While a source confirmed the brief dalliance, they also noted that it was “short-lived” and “over.” The closest Portman came to addressing the divorce publicly was in Vanity Fair this February, where she expressed her reluctance to contribute to public discourse about her personal life.

Friends of the actress have revealed that while the end of her marriage was challenging, Portman has leaned on her support system and prioritized co-parenting with Millepied. As she navigates this new phase of her life, Portman is committed to ensuring a smooth transition for her children and embracing her own happiness.
