Us Weekly reports that the couple said “I do” on Saturday evening in Big Sur, California after 2 years of engagement and 14 months raising their son, Aleph.
The wedding was reportedly a nighttime Jewish ceremony at a private residence in the picturesque Big Sur area of the central California coast. The couple was surrounded by friends and family, including Ivanka Trump.
Portman, 31, and Millepied, 35, first met on set of 2010’s dark thriller “Black Swan,” for which Portman nabbed her first Oscar. Though the couple have remained fiercely private about their relationship, Portman did let her feelings for him when she accepted the Golden Globe award for Best Actress in a Drama for her role in “Black Swan”.
“Thank you to Benjamin, who is helping me to continue this creation of creating more life”
“Benjamin choreographed the film, and also you might remember him in the movie as the guy when they ask, ‘Would you sleep with that girl?’ And he’s like, ‘Pffsh, no.’ He’s the best actor. It’s not true: He totally wants to sleep with me!”
Millepied, who was born in Bordeaux, France, began dancing at the age of eight, initially taught by his mother, a former ballet dancer herself. Portman, who was raised Jewish, was born in Jerusalem and has dual American and Israeli citizenship.
“Being with a Frenchman, I can now obtain French nationality, which wasn’t an option for me. It would be the fulfillment of our Francophile dreams, my father and myself,” Portman told a French Magazine in an article published last month. “I lived in Paris when I was 12 and my father gave me the name Natalie as an homage to Gilbert Bécaud’s song. Everything in my life has drawn me towards a French family.”
