Natalie is currently married with her Black Swan ballet dancer Benjamin Millepied, whom she married in 2012 and gave birth to their son in 2011. She also dated American folk singer Devendra Banhart.
A career free of tabloid drama and embarrassing personal scandals, the beauty maintained to keep an admiring self-control and even in her early acting career she always seemed more mature then her age or her petite appearance would suggest. We could say that Portman is the child star who was never a child but just an amazing person and actress.
