In a February 2024 interview, Portman responded to the media narratives by saying, “It’s terrible, and I have no desire to contribute to it,” as quoted by the Los Angeles Times. Her comment does not confirm the allegations. No verified public statement from Millepied about the divorce appears in the cited accounts.
What has been reported about their children?
At the time the divorce was reported in March 2024, Portman and Millepied were described as sharing two children. In a September 6, 2026 report, El País reported that Portman gave birth to a third child in August 2026, her first with partner Tanguy Destable. The article said the baby’s sex and exact birth date were not known at publication.
