Natalie Portman is about to embrace motherhood again with baby number three – her first with French musician Tanguy Destable, popularly known as Tepr. The couple, both residing in the City of Lights, have been romantically linked since March 2025, a year after Portman's split from her ex-husband Benjamin Millepied. This exciting news was revealed by Portman during an exclusive interview with Harper’s Bazaar on April 17, 2026.
“I grew up hearing about how hard it is to get pregnant. I have so many people I love who’ve had such a hard time with it that I want to be respectful around that as well. It’s such a beautiful, joyous thing, and it’s also not an easy thing,” Portman explained, emphasizing her gratitude for this new chapter.
Portman and Destable's relationship reportedly blossomed after being first spotted cozied up in Paris. The news, initially reported by French outlet Voici, was later confirmed by People. Their romance marks the first significant relationship for Portman following her divorce from Millepied, with whom she shares two children, Aleph and Amalia.
Destable, a renowned musician, has a rich career background and goes by the stage name Tepr. Originally hailing from Morlaix, a quaint town in Brittany, he mentioned in a past interview that the lack of band members in his small town spurred his journey into music. Before going solo in 2014, he was part of notable music groups like Abstrackt Keal Agram and Yelle.
Before his relationship with Portman, Destable dated French actress Louise Bourgoin. The former couple shares two sons, Étienne and Vadim. Despite not being very vocal about his personal life, Destable's Instagram under the handle @Tempr_ offers fans a peek into his musical journey.
While Destable has kept mum on his romance with Portman, the actress has been vocal about their excitement over their new journey together, stating, “I’m just very grateful. I know it’s such a privilege and a miracle.” The couple is eagerly anticipating their new addition, as they continue to enjoy life in Paris together.
In true Parisian style, Portman recently stepped out flaunting her baby bump, wrapped in chic oversized coats, channeling that effortless French elegance.
