Natalie Portman is offering fans a rare look inside her life overseas.
The Oscar-winning actress shared a new Instagram carousel on Thursday featuring snapshots from her everyday life in Paris, where she has quietly lived for more than a decade.
Portman’s Rare Update
“Paris lately,” she captioned the collection of images.
The post included a relaxed selfie taken near the River Seine, along with artistic shots of museums, flowers, architecture, and adorable photos of her dog.
The intimate upload gave followers a glimpse into the slower-paced lifestyle Portman has embraced since leaving the United States in 2014.
The “Black Swan” star relocated to the French capital with then-husband Benjamin Millepied after he accepted a role with the Paris Opera Ballet.
Although the pair built a life together in France, their marriage ultimately ended in March 2024 following reports of Millepied’s alleged affair with climate activist Camille Étienne.
Since then, Portman has largely stayed out of the spotlight while quietly moving forward with French musician Tanguy Destable.
Earlier this year, the actress revealed the couple is expecting their first child together.
“Tanguy and I are very excited,” she told Harper’s Bazaar in April while discussing the pregnancy announcement. “I’m just very grateful. I know it’s such a privilege and a miracle.”
“And so I know how lucky it is,” she continued. “I’m very aware, and I’m very grateful. I have deep appreciation and gratitude.”
The baby will be Portman’s third child overall. She already shares son Aleph, 14, and daughter Amalia, 9, with Millepied.
Portman Maintains Her Privacy
Despite being one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, Portman has become increasingly protective of her private life in recent years.
The actress rarely discusses relationships publicly and has consistently avoided engaging with speculation surrounding her personal affairs.
In a February 2024 interview for Vanity Fair’s annual Hollywood issue, Portman briefly addressed the intense public attention surrounding her marriage at the time.
“It’s terrible, and I have no desire to contribute to it,” she said when asked about media scrutiny involving her personal life.
After the interviewer acknowledged discomfort about discussing the topic, Portman simply replied, “I can imagine.”
At the time, she described how she splits her time between Los Angeles and Paris.
“I love having both in my life,” she said. “I lead a very non-Hollywood life in L.A. I live on the east side. I have some friends who are in the entertainment industry, but many friends who are not, and we don’t do industry things when we hang out. We’re not going to Hollywood parties, we’re having dinners at home in the backyard.”
The actress’ latest Paris post follows another recent travel update she shared from Amsterdam in late April.
That carousel featured photos from museums, restaurants, and historic landmarks throughout the Dutch city.
“Such a special week,” she wrote at the time. “Thank you @rosalia.vt for another incredible night, @restaurantdekas for a perfect meal, @annefrankhouse_official for your dedication to preserving this important piece of history, & Amsterdam for your beauty Until next time x.”
While Portman remains famously low-key online, fans were thrilled to see the actress share such personal snapshots from her life abroad — especially as she prepares to welcome a new addition to her growing family.
