Natalie Portman Welcomes Third Child with Partner Tanguy Destable
Academy Award-winning actress Natalie Portman has officially expanded her family. According to reports from the French magazine Voici, the acclaimed star has welcomed a baby boy with her partner, the French musician and producer Tanguy Destable—better known by his professional moniker, Tepr.
The newborn, whose arrival reportedly took place on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, in France, marks the actress’s third child. Portman is already a mother to two children from her previous marriage to dancer and choreographer Benjamin Millepied: 15-year-old son Aleph and 9-year-old daughter Amalia.
A Journey to Motherhood
The arrival of the new baby comes just weeks after Portman delighted her fans with a public pregnancy reveal. On July 29, she shared an intimate photograph showcasing her baby bump, accompanied by a heartfelt caption: “We’re counting the days until we meet you.”
The actress first opened up about the pregnancy earlier this year in an exclusive interview with Harper’s Bazaar, where she expressed profound gratitude for this new chapter in her life. “Tanguy and I are very excited,” she shared at the time, calling the experience of expecting her third child a “miracle.”
Navigating Healthcare in France vs. the U.S.
As a mother who has experienced pregnancy in both the United States and France, Portman has previously offered candid insights into the differences between the two healthcare systems.
In a recent interview with People, the actress noted that while the medical professionals in both countries are exceptional, the fundamental approaches differ. “The biggest difference for me is a socialised versus not-socialised approach to medicine,” she explained. “When you’re in a socialised medicine country, they’re trying to do the best for the most people, without making you pay for extra stuff. Whereas, in the U.S., they’re like, ‘Well, if you want this, we can add this.’ You can see that it is also a business.”
A Private Celebration
True to her reputation for maintaining a low profile, Portman has not yet released an official statement or social media announcement regarding the birth. Her partner, Destable, has also refrained from commenting publicly.
For now, the couple appears to be focused on enjoying their private time as they welcome their newest family member. Fans and followers across the globe are eagerly awaiting a first look, though the notoriously private star is expected to keep details regarding her newborn well out of the public eye.
