Natalie Portman and choreographer Benjamin Millepied are engaged and expecting their first child, her reps confirm to PEOPLE exclusively.Funny story about how Natalie and Benjamin met (here). Benjamin had a live-in girlfriend of three years. And then he met Natalie and he was suddenly single. A barrel of laughs!
The couple met during the production of Black Swan. Portman's performance in the film has earned her nominations for a Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award.
The actress, 29, will next be seen in the romantic comedy, No Strings Attached, costarring Ashton Kutcher.Thank you People for clarifying that Natalie is due in 2011. I was really worried that she was going to have one of those rare 13 month pregnancies. Phew!
This will be the first child for the actress who is due in 2011.
Is Natalie Portman a home wrecker? The notoriously private actress has reportedly been dating Benjamin Millepied, 32, the New York City Ballet dancer who's choreographing her new movie, "The Black Swan." "They've been dating since the fall, although she told friends that she hasn't gone public with it because she was waiting to see if things got serious," a source tells Page Six. "But the real reason she was quiet about things is that Ben had a live-in girlfriend of three years when they met. She was a ballerina at the American Ballet Theater. She had been talking about marrying him and was blindsided by the split. She moved out right after New Year's Eve."In all seriousness, this guy must have had a really hard time choosing between these two. Would you rather date a world famous starlet worth millions of dollars? Or stay true to a woman that can lift her leg behind her ear while standing? Not sure which one I would have picked, but with a little planning, this Benjamin guy could have had the best of both worlds . . . if he'd just asked out Paris.
