‘[Natalie’s] biggest priority has been ensuring a smooth transition for her children,’ a source told People in March. 

‘She and Ben really love their kids and are equally focused on being the best co-parents they can be. Nothing is more important.’

Earlier this month, the Black Swan star appeared on Australia’s The Project and shared her love of all things Down Under. 

Natalie revealed that her children are such big fans of the country that she has to keep iconic Aussie yeast spread Vegemite stocked in her pantry.

‘I would love to be (Australian),’ the American actress laughed when asked if she wasn’t secretly a citizen.

‘My family is very obsessed with Australia. We love it a lot. I have to keep Vegemite in my house for my kids’.
