Actress Natalie Portman and her husband Benjamin Millepied’s marriage is on the rocks after he allegedly carried on an affair with a much younger woman.
The pair, who married in 2012, separated last year but managed to work through their relationship woes.
The affair, first reported by the French outlet Voici, was reportedly with a 25-year-old woman, according to Page Six.
However, People reported that an insider claimed the alleged affair was ‘short-lived’ and is now ‘over.’
They went on to call it an ‘enormous mistake,’ though they claimed Millepied, 45, was aware of the scale of his alleged transgression and was working to repair the damage with Portman.
New photographs from France suggest that the former New York City Ballet principal dancer has been spending time with glamorous young climate activist Camille Étienne.
The 41-year-old Oscar-winning actress and her dancer and choreographer husband have been married since 2012.
Page Six’s source said Portman and Millepied are ‘trying to work things out’ at he moment.
‘Ben is doing everything he can to get Natalie to forgive him. He loves her and their family,’ they said.
They added that Portman is ‘incredibly private’ about matters involving her marriage.
‘Her biggest focus right now is protecting the kids,’ the source added.
Portman, 41, was in the French Riviera city making the promotional rounds, but Millepied, 45, was nowhere to be seen.
The pair who got engaged in 2010, married in 2012 in Big Sur, California.
They went on to welcome a son, Aleph, 12, and a daughter, Amalia, six.
