Natalie Portman ‘having phoenix moment,’ ‘looks incredible’ following high-profile divorce from Benjamin Millepied

Natalie Portman — who has officially divorced ballet dancer Benjamin Millepied following his extramarital affair — is having a “phoenix moment.”

A pal of the actress says that, having rid herself of the philandering ballet dancer, she “looks incredible and is feeling great.”

The friend mentioned up that the Oscar winner has been “killing the red carPet” for her Netflix hit “May December,” and was on the cover of Vanity Fair’s annual Hollywood issue along with Bradley Cooper, Lily Gladstone, Greta Lee, Jodie Comer, and “Saltburn” hunk Barry Keoghan.

“Not a bad way to start a new chapter,” noted the insider.

Spies tell Page Six they saw a solo Portman in Las Vegas, Nevada, for a wedding last month, where she spent time hanging out with her friends and attending a show at buzzy ball the Sphere.

Portman was also spotted seeing DJ duo Two Friends at the Wynn where she was pulled on stage as they played her dirty “Saturday Night Live” rap with Lonely Island “Natalie Raps.”

The “Black Swan” star and crew “had a great time dancing and hanging out,” says the insider.

Meanwhile, last month at Paris Fashion Week a video did the rounds showing Rihanna and Portman fawning over each other at the Dior Haute Couture show.

Portman filed for divorce last July and it was finalized last month in France, reports People.

The pair have two children, Aleph, 12, and Amalia, 7.

Previously, Page Six exclusively reported that the pair, who married in 2012, separated in 2022.

We were told it was an open secret on the set of “May December,” which shot in November over the course of 23 days, that she and Millepied were having problems.

But they had managed at the time to work through their relationship woes.

But, in June 2023, photos from France suggested that the former New York City Ballet principal dancer had been spending time with glamorous young climate activist Camille Étienne.

A source close to the couple told Page Six at the time, “They have not split and are trying to work things out. Ben is doing everything he can to get Natalie to forgive him. He loves her and their family.”

And said that “Her biggest focus right now is protecting the kids.”
