Natalie Portman Spotted Out and About With Her Musician Boyfriend, Sparking Reactions — Photos

When Natalie Portman stepped out for an afternoon stroll in Paris, she wasn't alone — and it didn't take long for the internet to take notice.

Natalie Portman was recently seen enjoying an afternoon stroll through the streets of Paris. By her side was French musician Tanguy Destable. The pair were photographed holding hands, sharing a quiet moment amid the bustle of the city.

Both kept their looks casual but stylish. Portman, 44, wore a denim mini-skirt paired with a crisp white T-shirt and a sleek black blazer. Destable opted for brown pants and a black T-shirt, layered with a denim jacket. He was also seen rolling a Christian Dior suitcase as they walked together.

As photos of the outing surfaced online, social media users quickly reacted. Comments ranged from amused observations to pointed critiques. "He looks like her ex husband 😂," one person noted. Someone else asked, "Does nobody else think he looks like Forney from ‘where the heart is’?"

Another wrote, "Wow.. she can do a lot better than this!😮." A third quipped, "Another French guy?! Hasn't she learned her lesson?" More comments flooded the internet. One harsh critic wrote, "Bruh they look miserable," while someone else echoed, "Poor guy. Already looks miserable."

Amid the mixed reactions, supporters came to Portman's defense. "Girl! He's cute!!!!😍❤️🔥," a fan commented, offering a counterbalance to the criticism. Another added, "Beautiful couple." Someone else wrote, "Lovely couple ❤️."

Portman's public appearance with Destable comes just months after closing a significant chapter in her personal life. Their romance surfaced nearly a year after Portman filed for divorce from her husband of 11 years, director and choreographer Benjamin Millepied.

The split was finalized in February 2024. The pair share two children — son Aleph, 13, and daughter Amalia, 8. Portman met Millepied during the filming of "Black Swan" in 2010. They married in August 2012, forming what many saw as a private and tightly bonded relationship.

That privacy was tested in 2023 when media reports emerged of an alleged affair involving Millepied. Portman filed quietly, with the proceedings unfolding largely out of public view.

In a rare comment on her personal life, the actress addressed the scrutiny in a February 2024 interview with Vanity Fair, stating that it was terrible and she didn't want to talk about it.

Friends close to the actress revealed the toll the split had taken. "It was initially really tough for her," one source told People, "but her friends rallied around her and helped get her through the worst of it." Despite the emotional upheaval, those close to her say Portman has emerged stronger, focusing on her children, close relationships, and career.

In the months that followed their separation, Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied remained committed to their children's well-being. Despite their personal differences, the former couple was frequently seen together, presenting a united front as a family.

According to sources close to the pair, both Portman and Millepied focused their energy on helping their children navigate the transition. Ensuring stability for Aleph and Amalia became their shared priority. Insiders noted that the two were equally invested in co-parenting, with nothing taking precedence over the children’s adjustment.

Though signs of strain had emerged — such as Portman's decision to stop wearing her wedding ring in the spring of 2023, shortly after news of Millepied’s brief affair broke — both took time to address their situation away from the spotlight.

They worked through challenges privately and gradually moved toward a new co-parenting dynamic that centered on support and cooperation.
