Natalie Portman is all smiles at football match in Paris… amid reports of husband’s alleged affair

Natalie Portman appeared to be in great spirits while watching a French L1 football match between Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Clermont Foot 63 at the Parc des Princes Stadium in Paris, France.

The actress, 41, was spotted in the stands smiling and cheering as the action heated up on the pitch, following reports that her husband Benjamin Millepied, 45, had an affair with a 25-year-old woman.

Portman looked stylish in a plaid blazer over a white button-down shirt and blue jeans.

At times she snapped photos of the match, all while shading herself from the sun by wearing stylish sunglasses, and her dark brown tresses flowing long, straight and sleek with a part in the middle.

Portman’s husband did not appear to be with her while at the stadium watching the match.

Brave face: Natalie Portman, 41, was all smiles when she watched the French L1 football match between Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Clermont Foot 63 at the Parc des Princes Stadium in Paris, France on Saturday, amid allegations her husband, Benjamin Millepied had an extramarital affair with a 25-year-old woman

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 a 25-year-old woman.

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

According to Page Six, Portman learned of her husband’s cheating in early March, and that the couple had separated last year but were able to work through their relationship problems.

And now, after this alleged transgression, they are again taking steps to do what they can to save the marriage.

A source confirmed to DailyMail.com that the couple, who have been married for more than 10 years, are in fact still together. 

‘He knows he made an enormous mistake and he is doing all he can to get Natalie to forgive him and keep their family together,’ a source revealed to People. ‘Natalie is incredibly private and has no intention of playing this out in the media. Her biggest priority is protecting her children and their privacy.’

Portman, a native of Jerusalem, Israel, and Millepied, who’s from Bordeaux, France, share two children together: son Aleph, who turns 12 on June 14, and daughter Amalia, six.

They met back in 2009 on the set of her psychological horror film Black Swan, for which he did the choreography, that resulted in her winning the Best Actress Oscar for her riveting performance.
