A beautiful love story. Natalie Portman and her husband, Benjamin Millepied, met on the set of her film Black Swan in 2009.“I think I was in, like, dreamland.

So, it was pretty … it seemed pretty fun the whole time,” Portman said of getting to know her husband while making the psychological thriller during a June 2018 interview on “Sirius XM Town Hall.”The Star Wars actress added that she wasn’t sure if she had an “instant” connection with the French dancer, who was a choreographer on Black Swan. “It was, like, I really got to know him and then that is when it seemed, ‘Oh, right, this is the person,’” she shared.In February 2011, Portman won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her work in the Darren Aronofsky film.

By then, she and Millepied were engaged and expecting their first child together. The V for Vendetta actress thanked her then-fiancé during her acceptance speech.“To my beautiful love, Benjamin Millepied, who choreographed the film and has now given me my most important role of my life,” she said, gesturing to her stomach.The couple welcomed their son, Aleph, in June 2011.

The following July, Portman told France’s Madame Figaro that family was her priority. “Nothing is more important than my personal life,” she said at the time. “It’s something which comes first, always makes sense, and compared to the happiness of a successful family life, everything else is practically superficial.”In August 2012, Portman and Millepied had an intimate wedding near Big Sur in California after announcing their engagement in late 2010.
