Natalie Portman cuts solitary figure watching the Matildas’ 3-1 loss to England amid split from ‘cheating’ husband Benjamin Millepied

Claims have been swirling that Natalie Portman has recently split from her husband of 11 years Benjamin Millepied.

And the Hollywood star cut a lonely figure on Wednesday night as she watched the Matildas semi final loss at the FIFA Women’s World Cup at Sydney’s Accor Stadium without her man by her side.

Portman’s downcast appearance was a far cry from her cheerful disposition when she and Benjamin watched the South Sydney Rabbitohs play at the same venue in 2021.

On Wednesday, the Black Swan actress, 42, appeared sombre as she watched the thrilling game against England next to American tennis legend Billie Jean King.

Portman wore a Matildas beanie for the outing, and braced herself against Sydney’s chilly weather in a heavy jacket worn over a long sleeved shirt and jeans. 

Former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull sat in front of Portman during the game. 

Earlier this month, Us Weekly claimed that she and her husband have separated after they attempted to repair their relationship following claims he had been unfaithful.

DailyMail.com have contacted representatives for the couple who have so far not been unavailable for comment.

However, a source close to the actress tells DailyMail that the reports of separation are just ‘rumours’ and ‘speculation’ and there has been no firm decision made.

‘After news of his affair came out, they’ve been trying to work on their marriage but are currently on the outs,’ a source told Us Weekly.

Millepied, 46, who has been married to Portman for 11 years, is said to have had an affair with a 25-year-old woman.

In June, Portman and Millepied’s marriage was the subject of an article in the French publication, Voici, which claimed the French dancer and choreographer had an affair with the younger woman – a climate activist named Camille Étienne.

However, People reported that an insider claimed the alleged affair with Étienne was ‘short-lived’ and is now ‘over.’
