Natalie Portman, 45, Welcomes Third Child With Tanguy
Actress Natalie Portman has given birth to her third child in Paris, her first with partner Tanguy Destable. The birth took place in August, and the baby's name has not been announced yet.
Actress Natalie Portman has given birth to her third child. The news was reported by Ireland’s RTE and Serbia’s Espreso, both citing the American magazine People, which was first to report that the Oscar winner, 45, had become a mother for the third time.
The birth took place last month, in August, in Paris, where Portman has lived for years. The baby’s name and sex have not been made public.
This is the first child the actress shares with her partner, French music producer Tanguy Destable. The couple has never hidden their relationship, but they rarely discuss their private life in public, which is why word of the birth reached the world through foreign outlets rather than any announcement of their own.
Two Previous Marriages, Now a Third Child
Portman already has two children from her previous marriage: a fifteen-year-old son and a nine-year-old daughter. Their father is her ex-husband, choreographer and director Benjamin Millepied, to whom she was married for more than a decade before the marriage officially ended in 2024.
The actress revealed her pregnancy with Tanguy Destable in April 2026, in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, where she spoke about how much this third pregnancy meant to her.
Tanguy and I are so excited. I’m grateful. I know what a privilege and a miracle this is,
Portman said in that interview.
She also said that as the daughter of a fertility doctor, she grew up hearing how hard it can be to conceive, which made her all the more aware of her luck in being pregnant for a third time. “I’m very aware of that and very grateful. I have deep respect and gratitude,” she said at the time, describing the feeling that stayed with her throughout the pregnancy.
Portman won an Oscar for her role in “Black Swan.”
In July, with the pregnancy already visible, Portman posted about it on Instagram. Alongside a photo of herself holding her belly, she wrote a message to the child she was expecting: “I’m counting down the days until we meet.” The post quickly spread across social media, with followers flooding the comments to congratulate her on the third pregnancy.
Who Broke the News
People magazine was first to report the birth, and other American outlets picked it up immediately. Page Six published photos of the couple walking the streets of Paris with the baby, while RTE and Espreso reported the news on September 6, citing those same sources.
Natalie Portman herself has not issued any official statement about the birth. Every detail circulating so far has come from third-party sources rather than her own account or team, so information about the baby’s name and sex is expected only once the actress decides to share it, if she chooses to at all.
Neither Portman nor Destable has spoken publicly about the birth since the news broke.
With a third child now in the picture, the actress is entering a new chapter of her private life, while fans continue to wait for her to confirm the news herself, in her own words.
How the Pregnancy Unfolded
The full timeline, from announcement to birth, reached the public in small pieces. Confirmation of the pregnancy came first, in April 2026, through the Harper’s Bazaar interview. In July came the Instagram post with the photo of her baby bump. In August, according to People, the actress gave birth in Paris. The news did not reach the wider public until September 6, when it was picked up by RTE and Espreso, a full month after the birth itself.
