Natalie Portman flaunted her bikini body when she was spotted frolicking across the beach on St. Barts on a sunny Christmas Eve.
The 43-year-old is experiencing her first holiday season following her divorce from French choreographer Benjamin Millepied, with whom she was married for 12 years.
Benjamin and Natalie went their separate ways over the summer of 2023 under a cloud of rumors that he had conducted an affair with a younger woman.
He was seen kissing another woman in Paris this October, and Natalie was claimed to be unsurprised that he ‘moved on’ so ‘quickly.’
While on St. Barthelemy, where she used to reside with Benjamin, she recently flaunted her toned physique in a revealing black two-piece swimsuit.
During her most recent beach outing, she confidently displayed her well-defined abs as she walked along the sandy shores.

Natalie finalized her divorce in France this March, bringing an end to a marriage of 12 years, her representative confirmed to People.
The former couple share two children – Aleph, 13, and Amalia, seven – and lived together in Benjamin’s native France for several years.
Benjamin was seen locking lips with another woman in Paris a couple of months ago – and Natalie was claimed to be aware of the images before they went public.
‘Natalie isn’t surprised that Benjamin has moved on because of how their relationship ended,’ an insider told Us Weekly, adding that Natalie ‘hopes Benjamin is happy.’
‘Benjamin’s dating life doesn’t really have any bearing on Natalie,’ another said. ‘She’s super happy in her life right now and has been prioritizing family and friends.’
Natalie filed for divorce in July 2023, one month after the French magazine Voici ran a bombshell report claiming Benjamin, 47, had an affair with a famous 26-year-old environmental activist called Camille Étienne.

After the claims of his infidelity went public, a source told People Benjamin had a ‘short-lived’ fling with Camille, but that the dalliance was ‘over.’
The insider added: ‘He knows he made an enormous mistake and he is doing all he can to get Natalie to forgive him and keep their family together.’
However, by the following month, Natalie had filed for divorce, and by early this March the legal proceedings were finalized.
The closest she came to addressing her divorce in public was in Vanity Fair this February, when she was asked how it felt to have her marriage written about and replied: ‘It’s terrible, and I have no desire to contribute to it.’
A friend revealed the collapse of Natalie’s marriage was ‘was initially really tough for her, but her friends rallied around her and helped get her through the worst of it.’
The source noted: ‘Her biggest priority has been ensuring a smooth transition for her children. She and Ben really love their kids and are equally focused on being the best co-parents they can be. Nothing is more important.’
In March – the month her divorce was finalized – Natalie posted on Instagram that her book club read was Nora Ephron’s novel Heartburn, a roman à clef about her own divorce from the renowned Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein.
