American actress Natalie Portman, star of the films "Black Swan" and "Venom", has publicly commented on the birth of her third child for the first time. According to Wave RBC.UA, citing the star's interview with Harper's Bazaar, the 45-year-old actress posed for a stylish photo shoot and shared her views on motherhood, which, in her own words, changed after the baby appeared in the family. Portman confessed that the birth of "a little charming person" filled her life with a sense of delight and joy, while not revealing the name, gender, and date of birth of the child.
First shared child with a new partner
The father of the baby is the actress's partner, French music producer and DJ Tanguy Destable, who is a year younger than Portman. This is the first shared child for their couple, who were first photographed together in 2025. Natalie announced her third pregnancy in April 2026, calling the opportunity to become a mother again "a privilege and a miracle." According to the actress, this period became special for her: she felt more peace and understood her own desires better. Portman also suggested that this pregnancy is likely the last in her life.
How fast older children grow up
The arrival of the newborn, the actress confessed, gave her a new perspective on how fast her older children are growing — 15-year-old son Aleph and 9-year-old daughter Amalia, born in her marriage to choreographer Benjamin Millepied. "I remember how recently they were small, pure creatures and how quickly they turned into amazing people with unique characters, a sense of humor, and their own ideas," Portman shared. The reminder that time flies by unnoticed became, in essence, the central theme of her reflections on motherhood in the new interview.
On age and love: "That is the joy of this age"
Commenting on her attitude toward age, the actress confessed that she cherishes love and simple things more and more. "I think it's very simple: to be kind and loving to each other and to be able to laugh. That's what matters. That is the joy of this age. If that's not there, I won't waste my time on it," she noted. These words became perhaps the most quoted fragment of the interview and set the tone for the entire photo shoot, in which Portman appeared as a calm and self-confident woman.
Chronology: from pregnancy to birth in Paris
The news of the birth of the third child gained wide publicity in September 2026, when the actress was spotted with the newborn in her arms. According to sources, the birth took place in Paris. The context of Portman's personal life consists of several stages: she broke up with choreographer Benjamin Millepied in 2023 after more than ten years of marriage, since then the ex-spouses have been co-parenting their two children, and the actress made her first public appearance with her new partner — the French musician — only in 2025.
Upcoming projects: "Gallist" and "Good Sex"
Against the backdrop of personal news, Portman continues to work actively in cinema. As early as December 2026, the dark comedy "Gallist" will be released, in which the star plays a representative of the art world. Her next project will be the romantic comedy "Good Sex" directed by Lena Dunham for the streaming platform Netflix: there the actress portrays a family therapist who returns to the dating world. Mark Ruffalo and Tucker Pillsbury, known as Role Model, for whom this work will be a film debut, will appear as romantic partners. Thus, the public statement about the addition to the family coincided with a period when Portman is simultaneously closing one creative cycle and opening two new ones at once.
