Has Natalie Portman quietly confirmed the end of her marriage?
The actress has added new fuel to the fire of speculation surrounding the status of her relationship with husband Benjamin Millepied in the wake of the sensational cheating allegations against him – stating in a new interview that she lives in Paris with her two children, while without any mention of her husband.
Since rumors surfaced that Benjamin, 46, had an affair with a much younger woman last year, both he and the Star Wars alum, 42, have remained tight-lipped about the allegations.
But now Natalie may have subtly dropped a hint about the status of her 11-year marriage as she sat down for an intimate chat with WJ. Magazine for the latest issue, which was published just days after her solo appearance on the Golden Globes red carpet, where she was spotted without her wedding ring.
According to the publication, their reporter spoke with the movie star at her home in Paris, where they said she lives with her children Aleph, 12, and daughter Amalia, six.

Since the cheating allegations were first made public, Natalie has been seen without the jewelry on several occasions.
The last time she was seen with it on her finger was in early June, days after his alleged infidelity came to light.
At the time, a French outlet called Voici released an explosive report claiming that the choreographer had cheated on Natalie with a 25-year-old climate activist named Camille Étienne.
People reported at the time that his romance with Camille was “short-lived” and is now “over” — and that Benjamin “did everything he could” to “make Natalie forgive him and keep their family together.”
“He knows he made a huge mistake and he is doing everything he can to get Natalie to forgive him and keep their family together,” a source told the publication.
‘Natalie is incredibly private and has no intention of publicizing this in the media. Her biggest priority is protecting her children and their privacy.”
Since the news hit the internet, Natalie has been seen without the jewelry numerous times. She was seen without a ring in September
The couple met in 2009 on the set of her psychological horror film Black Swan, for which he choreographed, and they married in 2012. They will be seen in 2022.
However, in early August, an insider told Us Weekly that the couple split after failing to repair their relationship amid the cheating allegations.
“After news of his affair broke, they tried to work on their marriage but are currently on the run,” the source said.
However, someone close to the mother-of-two told DailyMail.com days later that reports of their marriage ending were just ‘rumours’ and ‘speculation’ – and that no final decision had been made.
The insider said Natalie “still doesn’t know” whether she wants a divorce, despite rumors of his infidelity leaving her feeling “powerless.”
“(Natalie) hates that (Benjamin’s) infidelity makes her feel powerless,” the source said.
‘She doesn’t know whether she can regain her power by staying with him or by leaving him. It’s really a struggle to have to keep dealing with it.’
But the source insisted that Natalie and the French dancer are still “really in love” “deep down” and are trying to work out their issues.
