Natalie Portman apparently cannot quit the Frenchies. A year after finalizing her divorce from her cheating French husband Benjamin Millepied, Natalie has a new boyfriend. He’s French and he genuinely has the most French-guy name I think I’ve ever seen or heard? His name is Tanguy Destable. An American would pronounce that as written, Tan Guy D-Stable. Apparently, the French say it as “taw-NEE” and I have no idea how they would pronounce his surname. Dah-stahb-la? Sigh… I wish Hilaria Baldwin was pretend-French so we could learn how to pronounce this stuff. Anyway, People Mag reports:
Natalie Portman has a new man in her life. One year after finalizing her divorce from ex-husband Benjamin Millepied, the 43-year-old Oscar winner is dating French musician and music producer Tanguy Destable, PEOPLE confirms.
French outlet Voici was the first to report news of Portman’s relationship with Destable, whose stage name is Tepr, per the outlet.
The actress finalized her divorce from director/choreographer Millepied, whom she was married to for 11 years, in February 2024. The settlement came eight months after she quietly filed, in 2023, following reports of an extramarital affair by Millepied. Portman met Millepied, 47, on the set of her 2010 movie Black Swan. They wed in August 2012, and share two children: son Aleph, 13, and daughter Amalia, 8.
Interesting note, maybe just to me, but Voici was the outlet which caught Millepied openly cheating on Natalie with his 25-year-old mistress. Like, Voici ran the photos. And now Voici was the first outlet to confirm that Natalie is dating Tanguy? Interesting. Maybe Voici just has really good sources in the French music/ballet/entertainment world. As for this guy… he’s different than what I would expect for Natalie, and honestly, I find him attractive – he’s the grey-haired guy in the IG photo, below. I can also see the appeal for Natalie – dating someone in music, who seems to be sort of adjacent to the film world but not really part of it.
