Natalie Portman isn’t ‘surprised’ her ex-husband Benjamin Millepied has moved on quickly.
Natalie, 43, was married to Benjamin, 47, for 11 years, with Natalie filing for divorce in July 2023; their divorce was finalized in March 2024.
Their split came after it was alleged that Benjamin cheated on Natalie with a woman 21 years his junior.
Benjamin was seen kissing a woman on October 15 in Paris, according to Us Magazine, with the outlet’s source revealing the star’s feelings about him getting back to the dating field so quickly.
‘Natalie isn’t surprised that Benjamin has moved on because of how their relationship ended,’ the outlet’s insider said.

The insider said that the actress ‘hopes Benjamin is happy’ and that his ‘dating life doesn’t really have any bearing on Natalie.’
‘She’s super happy in her life right now and has been prioritizing family and friends,’ the source said.
The outlet’s source revealed that Natalie heard about the images of Benjamin and the woman kissing in Paris before they were first revealed.
They share two children: son Aleph, 13, and daughter Amalia, seven.
Last year French outlet Voici released an explosive report claiming Millepied had an affair with 25-year-old climate activist Camille Étienne.
