It comes after reports claimed her husband Benjamin Millepied, 46, was having an affair with a 25-year-old woman.
In June, Portman and Millepied’s marriage was the subject of an article in the French publication Voici, which alleged that the French dancer and choreographer had been having an affair with the younger woman – a climate activist named Camille Étienne.
However, People reported that an insider claimed the alleged fling with Étienne was “short-lived” and is now “over.”

According to Page Six, Portman learned of her husband’s cheating in early March and that the couple had split last year, but were able to work through their relationship problems.
And now, after this alleged transgression, they are once again taking steps to do what they can to save the marriage.
A source confirmed to DailyMail.com that the couple, who have been married for over 10 years, are in fact still together.
“He knows he made a huge mistake and he’s doing everything he can to get Natalie to forgive him and keep their family together,” a source revealed to People.
