How did Natalie Portman’s friends react to Benjamin Millepied’s affair? According to a source who told RadarOnline, they are truly shocked. “Natalie’s friends and colleagues are appalled he’d treat her like this and are giving Benjamin an extremely wide berth,” the insider shared. “Natalie found out her husband was allegedly cheating about three months ago, He begged for forgiveness and is so very sorry and ashamed and she’s giving him another chance. Natalie’s very brave and wants the marriage to work, but it will take years of therapy to overcome the trust issues.”

As for Natalie herself, she’s seeing it play out in real-time. “Natalie believes Benjamin’s affair was a brief and stupid liaison that means nothing to him,” said s source to Us Weekly, adding that Portman is “willing to see if she’s capable of rebuilding her trust” in her husband to ensure that their kids don’t “grow up in a broken home.”

Another source added that she “doesn’t know” whether they will repair their relationship. “Right now, they are talking and working on it together for the sake of their children,” the source explains, noting that Millepied “regrets” his actions.

A source told People that Portman is keeping her feelings private. “Natalie is incredibly private and has no intention of playing this out in the media. Her biggest priority is protecting her children and their privacy,” added the source.

A week after the news made headlines, Page Six obtained pictures of Portman and Millepied with their kids in a park and described Portman as “distressed” while having a conversation with her husband.

After Black Swan, Portman and Millepied collaborated again on her 2018 film Vox Lux. She told People at the time: “It was really fun because I think he knows me so well, and what my strengths and weaknesses are in dancing, that he was really able to create choreography very seamlessly and quickly because we had very little time,” she said. “So it was very convenient that he knew me so well and that he’s as talented as he is.” She continued, “It was fun to get to watch him create because I don’t often watch him in the studio. Just to see the ease and the expertise that he has, and of course with different kinds of dance too, was really, really stunning.”

She talked about her home life to The Telegraph in 2013. “I’m less judgmental than before I had a kid. The biggest thing I’ve learnt is that parenting is a totally different experience for every single person. “Everything is cool, there are no rules — I mean, apart from not hurting your kid. Some people breastfeed until their babies are five, and some don’t breastfeed at all. There are no rules about what it means to be a feminist, or a good mother. For some, it’s going to be right to go back to work, for others it’s going to be right to stop working completely.”
