Natalie Portman's Unforgettable Anniversary: A Surprising Twist Sans Wedding Ring!

Natalie Portman, 42, was photographed attending the Angel City Equity Summit at the Sydney Opera House on their 11th wedding anniversary. She was seen without her wedding ring and her husband, walking with her hands in her pockets. Sporting a stylish ensemble consisting of a grey blazer, white button-up shirt, jeans, and black flats, Portman completed her look with black sunglasses, a black crossbody bag, and statement earrings.

Portman appeared without her wedding ring on her left hand during her outing, raising questions about its absence. This occurrence follows two months after allegations of infidelity were made against her husband, Benjamin Millepied. The couple, who got married on August 4, 2012, have two children together, Aleph (12) and Amalia (6).

According to an exclusive source in June, Portman felt "humiliated" by the allegations. The source mentioned that Natalie viewed Benjamin's affair as a short and foolish affair that holds no significance for him.

Meanwhile, a second insider informed Us that Portman was uncertain about the possibility of reconciling with Millepied amidst the scandal. The source revealed that they are currently having conversations and working together for the sake of their children. Additionally, Millepied, who is 46 years old, expressed remorse for his actions.

In June 2023, during a visit to the 2023 French Open, Portman proudly displayed her engagement ring. She was spotted cheering on Coco Gauff and Iga Świątek during their match, and complemented her ring with a stylish ensemble. Portman looked stunning in a floral lavender mini dress, along with black sunglasses, a black purse, and a fashionable Christian Dior star hat. Portman and Millepied's journey began on the set of the critically acclaimed film Black Swan in 2009, where Portman's exceptional performance as ballerina Nina Sayers earned her the prestigious Best Actress Oscar.

"I believe I was in a state of bliss. It was quite enjoyable throughout," she reminisced about collaborating with Millepied in a June 2018 interview with Sirius XM's Town Hall. "I truly got to know him, and that's when it became clear, 'Ah, yes, he is the one.'"

After welcoming their son in June 2011, Portman and Millepied exchanged vows one year later. Their family grew to four members in February 2017 with the arrival of their daughter.

Earlier this year, Millepied provided exclusive insight to Us about how he and Portman navigate their relationship and careers while promoting his directorial debut, Carmen. "We share what we're working on, but we're like two artists with distinct ambitions and interests," he stated in April. "However, we do share updates with each other, and I am currently sending her a newly completed script."

Millepied further elaborated that his experience working on Black Swan with his wife helped him prepare for his role behind the camera. "Observing directors collaborate with Natalie and other actors on set was extremely beneficial. It allowed me to witness the diverse methods directors employ to achieve captivating performances," he revealed. "Understanding why I was drawn to filmmaking as an artist was perhaps the most challenging aspect of this journey. Now, as a director, I am focused on crafting the script and collaborating with actors."
