Natalie Portman showed her ‘cheating’ ex Benjamin Millepied what he’s missing as she confirmed her new romance with a famous French music producer.
Oscar-winning actress Portman, aged 43, was recently spotted enjoying a romantic moment with Tanguy Destable, aged 44, during a leisurely walk in Paris. The producer affectionately kissed the star on the head, capturing the attention of onlookers.
This comes one year after she finalized her divorce from Millepied in March 2024 – following 11 years of marriage.
She filed for divorce in July 2023 – after it was alleged that Benjamin cheated on Natalie with a woman 21 years his junior.
Portman looked happier than ever as she walked arm-in-arm with the hunky producer, cutting a chic figure in a grey jacket and jeans.
Destable, professionally known as Tepr, at 44, was previously in a long-standing relationship with actress Louise Bourgoin, aged 43, dating back to 2013. The couple shares two sons, aged eight and four, from their time together.

In July, Natalie appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where she revealed that meeting Rihanna was a ‘formative moment’ in her life.
I think everyone going through a divorce should get Rihanna to say to her that she’s a bad b****h. It was exactly what I needed.’
During her appearance on the late night show, Natalie reflected on meeting Rihanna in January 2024 – during Paris Fashion Week.
Rihanna told Natalie that she was ‘one of the hottest b****s’ in Hollywood.’
‘Are you kidding me?’ Natalie had replied to Rihanna.
‘It was a formative moment in my life,’ she told Jimmy after the clip aired.

Rihanna said to her: ‘You are one of the hottest b*****s in Hollywood forever. You have the most innocent look and I’m like “uhhh.”‘
Natalie told her: ‘I’m going to faint. I love you and I listen to your music all the time, your’re such a queen and just thank you.’
Rihanna said: ‘Can somebody take a picture? So I like remember this happened tomorrow,’ with Natalie adding ‘Please!’
The songstress said: ‘I don’t get excited to meet anybody, but I love you!
