Benjamin Millepied: Support for Natalie Portman with their 2 children, after the update on the rumors of infidelity

Barely nine months after his return to France, in Paris, Benjamin Millepied, who recently made his second film entitled Carmen, already has lots of projects in France. Whether at the Philharmonie as an associate artist, at the Musée d’Orsay to give shows, or at Hangar Y in Meudon where he established his Paris Dance Project while keeping his company in Los Angeles.

But this week, it is in Lyon that he has put down his suitcases. He returned to the stage at the Nuits de Fourvière in solo after twelve years of absence. Our colleagues from Figaro indicate in particular that Natalie Portman and their two children (Aleph, 12 years old and Amalia, 6 years old) were also on the trip, in order to support the famous dancer.

As a reminder, and as he recently recalled in the pages of Obs, the couple met on the set of black swan in 2008. After living in France between 2014 and 2016, when her husband was appointed director of the Paris Opera, the famous Israeli-American actress insisted on returning to the United States, where everything happens for her professionally . Benjamin Millepied left with her.

But after more than six years in Los Angeles, he recently returned to France. A sudden departure, which had launched strong rumors around a separation of the couple, or even an infidelity on the part of the former star dancer with regard to the American.

Smart people know that…

A few days ago, in the pages of Paris Match, he decided to make things clear: “Smart people know the truth doesn’t read in the tabloids. She, like me, has this desire not to expose our private life. Finally, it was especially the case at the beginning of our story, now we don’t even talk about it anymore. We don’t feel the need to expose our relationship. The way I promote my work doesn’t go through that. And it’s the same for her.”

He also took the opportunity to reconsider his decision to return to France, explaining in particular that he did not live very well with his status as “husband of” on the other side of the Atlantic. “In the United States, even today, I am only the husband of Madame“, he revealed to the magazine, he who has long been “the star of American Ballet”. Note that just a few days ago, the couple was seen in Paris for a romantic dinner in a restaurant in the capital, before reappearing a few days later for a gala evening at the Philharmonic.

The American star was also photographed a few weeks ago at the Cannes Film Festival, in a lovely outfit.
