Natalie Portman Announces Third Pregnancy

Published 17 April 2026

Natalie Portman, the 44-year-old Oscar-winning actress, has announced she is expecting her third child, the first with her partner, French music producer Tanguy Destable. The news, shared exclusively in an interview with Harper's Bazaar published on April 17, comes as Portman, who has lived on and off in Paris for years, embraces the pregnancy amid the city's spring weather.

Portman expressed profound excitement and gratitude about the development. "Tanguy and I are very excited," she told the magazine. "I'm just very grateful. I know it's such a privilege and a miracle." As the daughter of a fertility doctor, she reflected on the challenges many face in conceiving, especially later in life. "I grew up hearing about how hard it is to get pregnant," she said. "I have so many people I love who've had such a hard time with it that I want to be respectful around that as well. It's such a beautiful, joyous thing, and it's also not an easy thing." She emphasized her awareness of her good fortune, adding, "And so I know how lucky it is. I'm very aware, and I'm very grateful. I have deep appreciation and gratitude."

This pregnancy marks a new chapter for Portman following her divorce...
