After 11 years of marriage, Natalie Portman and choreographer Benjamin Millepied have decided to part ways, finalizing their divorce back in February in France, People magazine reports. The news of their separation comes amidst rumors that surfaced last spring, suggesting that Millepied had been unfaithful to Portman. While neither party commented publicly on the allegations at the time, reports indicated that the couple was staying together.

However, a representative for Portman confirmed to People that the couple, who met on the set of the critically acclaimed movie "Black Swan" in 2009, had quietly separated and officially ended their marriage earlier this year. Portman gave birth to their first child, a son named Aleph, in 2011, and the couple tied the knot in 2012 in a private ceremony in Big Sur, California.

Throughout their relationship, Portman and Millepied have kept their personal lives under wraps, opting for privacy and shying away from the spotlight. In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Portman expressed her disdain for the intrusion into her marriage and personal life, stating, "It's terrible, and I have no desire to contribute to it."

The former couple shares two children together, Aleph, who is now 12 years old, and a daughter named Amalia, who is 7 years old. According to an insider, Portman's primary focus has been ensuring a smooth transition for her children during this challenging time.

The end of Portman and Millepied's 11-year-long marriage marks a significant shift in their lives and careers. While Portman is widely recognized for her exceptional acting talent and has achieved immense success in the film industry, Millepied is renowned for his expertise in choreography, particularly for his work on "Black Swan."

As Portman and Millepied embark on their separate paths, their priority remains the well-being and happiness of their children. Details regarding the terms of their divorce settlement have not been disclosed.

It is expected that both Portman and Millepied will continue to pursue their respective careers with determination and resilience, as they navigate this new chapter in their lives.
