Ringless Natalie Portman reunites with husband Benjamin Millepied for family lunch after addressing divorce rumors

Natalie Portman and her husband, Benjamin Millepied, appear to be co-parenting just fine amid rumors that they are no longer a couple.

The “Black Swan” star, 42, and French choreographer, 46, were spotted out in Los Angeles Thursday with their two kids — son Aleph, 12, and daughter Amalia, 6 — for a family lunch.

Portman appeared in good spirits, as she showed her youngest something on her phone at one point.

In a video obtained by the Daily Mail, the “May December” star flashed a smile while her little girl peeked at the smartphone. They were then joined by Millepied and Aleph for a casual stroll.

Portman was dressed comfortably in a tie-dye mushroom print sweatshirt by Rodarte and jeans.

However, she continued to fuel speculation she and Millepied have split by not wearing her wedding ring.

There have been rumblings of marital strife since June of last year when sources exclusively told Page Six that the pair were fighting to save their marriage after Millepied allegedly had an affair.

An insider told us at the time, “They have not split and are trying to work things out. Ben is doing everything he can to get Natalie to forgive him. He loves her and their family.”

It was then revealed via the French magazine Voici that Millepied had been spending time with a younger woman named Camille Etienne since March 2023, leading to the rupture in his relationship with Portman.

The married couple have yet to comment on whether or not they are getting divorced.

However, Portman has fueled the rumor mill by attending several public outings without her wedding ring.

In August 2023, the “Thor: Love and Thunder” star stepped out in Australia on her and Millepied’s 11th wedding anniversary sans her matrimonial bling.

Portman then also ditched the ring when, ironically, going for a stroll arm-in-arm with her husband in Paris the next month. Millepied was also not wearing his wedding band at the time.

The “No Strings Attached” star then hinted she and the dancer may not be living together, when she told the Wall Street Journal she lives in France “with her two children” but made no mention of her spouse.

Most recently when asked by Vanity Fair about the rumors surrounding her relationship, Portman again hesitated to give an update on their status, instead saying of all the speculation, “It’s terrible, and I have no desire to contribute to it.”
