Natalie Portman Welcomes Third Child in Paris, First with Partner Tanguy Destable
Paris, August 2026 – In a quiet moment in the French capital, 45‑year‑old Oscar‑winning actress Natalie Port — best known for her transformative work in films like Black Swan and her recent ventures into producing and directing – welcomed her third child. The baby, the first child born to Port and her partner, French music producer Tanguy Destable, arrived in August 2026. Neither the infant’s gender nor name has been announced.
Port now has three children: her eldest, Aleph, 15, and her younger daughter, Amalia, 9, from her marriage to choreographer Benjamin Millepied. The new arrival will be a brother or sister to the twins, adding a new dynamic to the family. Despite the significance of the occasion, Port has yet to issue a public statement, and no official comment has come from her representatives.
The birth follows a series of social‑media updates that confirmed Port’s pregnancy. In April 2026, she told Harper’s Bazaar that she and Destable were “very excited” and that she felt “grateful” for the experience. The interview framed motherhood as a privilege and a miracle. On July 29, 2026, Port posted a photo of her bare belly in an open blue shirt on Instagram, captioning it “Counting the days until we meet you” and thanking photographer Shelby Duncan. The image drew comments from fellow actresses Julianne Moore, Jennifer Garner, and Gwyneth Paltrow.
In a separate interview with Interview magazine, Port described the joy of watching her children grow into individuals and the pleasure of spending time with friends’ children. A post that later appeared on her Instagram for Mother’s Day, which has since been removed, reflected on the blessings she feels from her children and the unseen efforts of her own mother.
Destable, known professionally as Tepr, is a French music producer and former member of the electronic band Yelle. The couple began dating publicly in March 2025 and have been together since. Their partnership has been described as a creative collaboration between film and music, and their relationship has attracted media attention.
Port’s career has spanned more than two decades, beginning with her debut in Léon: The Professional (1994). She has earned multiple awards, including an Academy Award for Best Actress for Black Swan (2010), and has expanded into producing and directing projects such as May December (2023) and the miniseries Lady in the Lake (2024). The arrival of her third child in Paris adds another chapter to a personal narrative that has been closely followed by the press.
As of September 6, 2026, no further details have emerged regarding the infant’s name, gender, or future public appearances. Port and Destable have not issued a joint statement, and the couple’s privacy regarding the new family member remains intact. Industry observers will likely watch how Port balances her expanding family with her ongoing projects, including upcoming film releases and her production company, MountainA. The birth underscores the broader trend of high‑profile actors navigating parenthood while maintaining active careers.
For now, the public will await an official announcement from Port or her representatives. Until then, the details of the third child remain limited to the People report and the couple’s private communications.
