Sometimes the rumors are true. Amid speculation Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied were going through a rift in their marriage, the A-listers have shockingly finalized their divorce after secretively separating last year.
Portman quietly filed for divorce from Millepied eight months ago — notably around the same time her husband of 11 years was having an alleged affair with 25-year-old Camille Etienne.
The May December star submitted a petition to legally end her marriage in July. The split was officially settled last month in France, where the exes live with their children, son Aleph, 12, and daughter Amalia, 7, Portman's rep confirmed to a news publication on Friday, March 8.
Following her heartbreaking split, a friend of Portman provided an update on how the award-winning actress is holding up.
"It was initially really tough for her, but her friends rallied around her and helped get her through the worst of it," the Black Swan star's pal expressed to the news outlet.
The insider continued: "Natalie is coming out of a really tough and painful year but she's come out the other side of it stronger and is finding joy in her family, friends and work."
