Natalie Portman is pregnant and engagedSo much for that lithe "Black Swan" ballerina body - Natalie Portman is pregnant! A rep for the 29-year-old Golden Globe nominee confirms to CNN that Portman and choreographer Benjamin Millepied are engaged and expecting their first child together. French-born dancer Millepied, 33, has performed with the New York City Ballet and was the choreographer for Portman's critically acclaimed thriller "Black Swan." The couple were first romantically linked last New Year's Eve, when they attended a party together in New York City. Portman has not yet revealed the baby's due date or when the wedding will take place. Stay tuned!

Congratulations, Ms. Portman and Mr. Millepied!. I wish you nothing but the best, I hope it lasts long. You mothers must be so happy they're going to be grandparents!
Hmmm, she's known this guy how long?
Seems kind of rushed if you ask me.
I give it a year, two tops.
FACT: 1. DATE, 2. GET ENGAGED 3. GET MARRIED 4. HAVE CHILDREN IF BOTH GET MARRIED
FACT: GODS WAY: 1. DATE 2. GET ENGAGED 3. GET MARRIED 4. HAVE CHILDREN IF BOTH AGREE
ALWAYS TRY TO DO THIS GOD'S WAY.
YOUNG PEOPLE, DO NOT BE FOOLED INTO THINKING YOU WILL BE HAPPY WHEN YOU
DISREGARD WHAT GOD'S SAYS....ACTORS DO WHAT THEY WANT, THEY SET THEIR OWN
STANDARDS OF RIGHT AND WRONG AND LOOK, SEE THE RESULT....UNHAPPINESS
BEING PASSED HAND TO HAND UNTIL THEY ARE ALL USED UP.....
and another hypocrite/idiot........................
so far the only people that have posted a comment here that seem to have any intelligence or decency are the ones that have given congradulations to the couple. also the ones that made the star wars jokes, that stuff is just plain funny. poor darth.
And who would marry a guy named millipede?
Pregnant and engaged. In that order. Love those old-fashioned romances.
this marriage is going to last. she's a famous actress/millionaire and he's a dancer that worked with her. yeah, good luck with that.
*heavy sigh* I remember the days when you got married FIRST then had the babies. What a sad commentary on our society. This marriage doesn't have a snowballs chance in you-know-where. What a shame.
Mom of 4 – you been living under a rock or your whole life – or just making judgmental remarks? Tthis is nothing new & definitely not just in Hollywood. Besides, I think anyone who has more than 2 children should be ashamed. How bout them apples?
We dont have to agree with her decisions, but its not right to bash her for it. ((Not saying anyone is...im just sayin))
@Annoyed,agree. i read the bible, and im waiting to have children after im married ((and that which leads up to children)) i know society has taken that belief and twisted and pulled and manipulated it. of course, things like this cant really be changed once theyve happened. abortion is an option, but i dont really agree with that either. (please dont trash me because of my opinion). what ever natalie does is her choice. and we should back her up.
Hahaha @Anakin that made me laugh...ive been watching starwars lately.
Just help me save Padmé's life. I can't live without her.
DAMNIT!!!!
She's not pregnant until they release images from the ultrasound. Sorry, but I'm not just going to believe everything that's printed. Proof is in images of the womb. fwithpeople "dot" com
Hello, Natalie Portman,
I like you!
I hate you
It's amusing to me how all opinions are relevant except ones from religious people. I'm not talking about religious nut jobs but people who read from and respect the teachings of the Bible. I don't agree people should have children out of wedlock. I think if more women took the time to establish a real relationship with a man, most marriages wouldn't end in divorce. I wish this couple the best but that does not mean I have to agree with their decisions. In the long run, it isn't me they have to answer to.
So it's the responsibility of a woman to establish a strong relationship? What is the man supposed to be doing? If the marriage fails, it's the woman's fault?
Marriage can be legal and/or spiritual. What does a piece of legal paper have to do with raising a baby? Also what of the couple isn't spiritually inclined? What would be the point of the marriage contract in either case?
Really it's none of your business how they dedicate themselves to each other and their baby. They probably announced the pregnancy to forego any tabloid speculation of the soon to be seen baby bump which is probably more annoying then this speculation, but not by much.
I guess that means my date with Natalie next week is cancelled....
Her monotone acting is terrible. Worst actress, 2nd only to Sandra Bullock. Lucas was on crack to give her the role in Star Wars. She has one tone, and one voice for acting. BAD.
guilty
Mazal Tov to a stunning young actress with an amazing talent. Wishing her a happy life with her chosen one.
Wow, Anakin's "force" was strong in her, if you know what I'm sayin'...
I like her. Her life, her body, her choice.
Natalie...please...PLEASE..I KNOW I said I'd pull out. I'm sorry, ok?Just let me have a role in our baby's life.
Damantion!...I wanted to marry her first!
Damnation!...I wanted to marry her first!
One, she can afford her kid, more than most people in this country can do. Two, no one here knows if they planned the baby or not or if they were engaged prior to the pregnancy. All the article says is they were announced at the same time. Three, it is QUITE easy for birth control to fail. Those of you pretending you're so smart by criticizing her for being pregnant obviously know nothing about that or about whether her dancing changed her cycles (as often does for ballet dancers).
Gods, you're all such jealous nitwits on here...
Millepied? If I remember my high-school French, that means "a thousand feet". What a name for a dancer!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!
Isn't she that deaf chick?
iT s
DARTH VADER s BABY
Divorced within one year and her kid will be in rehab before age 21.
marriasaid show.ge lasts 2 years at best, divorce likely, kid will do a reality show, i will assassinate said show..
Darn it Natalie. Who is he? I'll fight him for you.
When she was the black swan I got jungle fever.
I wish her, him and baby all best wishes.
No matter what comments in that blog, she knows, really knows, what she is doing. She is that good of a human and actress.
Thanks for breaking my childish heart with this news – I couldn't be happier now that I am free of my delusions.
Gotta go, searching for MY girl now.
James
not because someone makes nice movies doesn t mean they are also charming in real live
YOU BIG NAiVE bunch of Ninnies
I googled him, and saw his pictures. Mehhh she could've done better. But I guess, it was a shotgun. Is he Jewish? Israeli-born Portman, surely, wouldn't marry from goyim?
Thought she was better than getting pregnant and engaged. The novelty of a baby with the wrong partner wears off, I'm sure. To have a man's baby a year after after knowing him is no good. She shouldnt have it, even if she can afford it. She should know better than to make this mistake. A man who impregnates a woman before the man proposes is not trustworthy. They should decline this and wait to see if the union is solid. He's likely after her money.
Apparently he improperly taught her the Degagé technique.
Pregnant AND engaged, huh? Funny how one usually follows the other.
And impregnated by a millipede! Now that's unusual!
Congrats on both counts Natalie, couldn't happen to a nicer person in your profession. You will make a fantastic mum I'm sure. Good luck to you both.
Wow! she is already having a baby? i remember when she was younger and came out in Star Wars! 😀 well congratulations!!!!!!!
Why would she marry him he probably isnt the type but i hope she deals with love cheating beating and manymore stay strong with being married to him:-(
Wow!i wanna know whos tha dad.
Yes, the pregnant-then-get-married thing was the wrong order.
Getting pregnant was stupid b/c its like, u <3 the dude enough 2 have a kid but not get married? I c ur point about the birth control though. I guess I can stop being ashamed for her. I hope the guy's not a loser. Best of luck, padme
Wow, panda bear. Adding to cydonia, you didnt learn, dd you? Aren't you sort of used to "childbirth=death?"
NOOOOOOOO!!! COME ON, PADME, U DIDNT LEARN FROM THE TWINS? Ohhh, ani's gonna kill some1. Literally.
Has anyone noticed that her dancer fiance's name , Millepied, is French for A Thousand Feet?
Portman is her stage name but his is like a doctor named bones.
Someone mentioned Meryl Streep. She is also married to an artist and has stayed married a long time. There's hope.
People get engaged and pregnant everyday. Why is it news if someone famous does it? Get a life, people!
Nat Dogg is my nerf herder! Hope she keeps it rilla with the chilla!
I've always wondered why she was not on yhe list of most beautiful people . She's (book) smarter than most is never heard of negatively , and who can complain about her acting ? Wish you all the best , big fan .
Sorry Is spelt "the wrong" and congratulations on the baby.
Who cares if she's pregnant,this isn't news.I'm sorry but she's a very boring actress with little personality and made Star Wars terrible.I don't know who she knew to get into acting,but,Wow.
she bangs, she bangs
Wow, so many people with judgements about failed birth control, baby before wedding... Blah, Blah... This is her first baby, she isn't octo-mom and she wont be milking the system for our hard earned tax dollars. Why do you care?
Man all of you religious nuts need to lay off the jesus kool aid. Who cares about whether she was pregnant before being engaged or whatever. Who cares! I've been with my wife for 10 years. We got married 3 years ago and have a wonderful 8 year old child. Our relationship is great, our daughter was able to see us get married which she got a big kick out of seeing. No make believe god is going to penalize us lol. Best wishes to ms. Portman and her fiance.
You are all going to hell.
Holy moly when did that baby become 29? now she's having a baby by a dancer. that kid is going to be gorgeous. Best to them both...
Another backwards relationship, first comes the child then the commitment. When can people make grown up decisions to raise a family, but first commit to each other till death do us part. No one takes marriage serious anymore. I promised my wife on our wedding day that I would take care of her all of her life, and thats what I will do. She did the same and I expect that she will honor her promise as well. 25 years so far.
I wish Natalie all the best. Although I had previously held her to be quite bright (Harvard?), I am disappointed that she seems to be travelling down the 'Hollywood marriage' path. You never know, the marriage could work, though, and I hope she's happy, regardless.
Nice girls get married first, then pregnant.
I give this marriage 15 months! I hope this Polanski Supporter gains a TON of weight and has to work as a chubby actress lol.
Yeah it would suck if she gains a ton of weight and turns out to look like Ricky Lake did , Otherwise they'll need to film her with a wideangle lens from now on.
She is engaged......Since when does that infer a forthcoming marriage - in Hollywood? She is hot though. And a professional.
Almost 50% of marriages fail, maybe a higher % for celebrities, and an ironic divorce line is, "We are the best of friends and want what is best for our children, and will continue to do what is best for them; we just aren't compatible anymore." Why don't these people PRETEND they are divorced (best of friends!) even if they are miserable while married, and wait until their kids are grown to ACTUALLY divorce?! That's right stay together for stability and normalcy for your kids! If you are actors, it should be easy to fake being happy for your kids, and when the kids are independent, then split! How phony to say you are the best of friends, then confuse and damage your kids by "happily" divorcing and shuttling them between houses with exposure to new rotating girlfriends or boyfriends!
First comes the baby in the baby carriage, then comes marriage... no wait...
I cant believe the classy Natalie Portman got knocked up by some sissy French ballet dancer.
Hopefully she won't have the baby at a Wal-Mart in some hick town like in that movie Anywhere But Here.
At least these two are adults. Unlike 99.9% of you kids here. You all must have some pretty sad wives, husbands, girlfriends,and boyfriends. Or from the majority and maturity of these comments, fists.
So she gets knocked up and then decides to get married? Gee, I wonder how many years (months?) it will take for this marriage to crash and burn. LMAO!
Hollywood - what a bunch of white trash.
You mean like the millions of people who do get married first, then have kids and still end up getting divorced!
Who really cares about this crap? Seriously, if you give this sh it more than 2 seconds of your time, you REALLY need to get a life. Wow.
"So much for that lithe "Black Swan" ballerina body" - Wow, let's take happy life-cycle events and turn it into a war on body image. Is that all Nataline Portman is to CNN? Wow!
Well said, Leah. My thoughts exactly.
Congratulations
After all these years and all the women I had to sleep with to get where I am today...I can still hold my head up high.
Sad. It's unfortunate that she could not set a good example and get married before getting pregnant. I'm really disappointed in her.
I'm sure she's heartbroken regarding your disappointment.
THIS IS NOT NEWS.
It is news if you are looking at the Entertainment section, mike. I'm sorry if you got lost and thought you were reading World News. Sheesh.......
I DON'T CARE!
ACTORS//ACTRESSES ARE NOT ROYALTY.
AND YES, ALL CAPS MEANS I'M YELLING!!!
First I would like to say congratulations to the mother to be, and I wish her the absolute best for her family (regardless of what is typical of hollywood marriages)
And secondly, damn...
Somehow this is Obama's fault...
I suppose this means that Natalie's mom will be the GOP vice presidential nominee in 2012.
So Natalie has a Erdős–Bacon number of 6.
Thinking of the six degrees of separation, or more specifically Kevin Bacon, I wonder what the degree of separation in Hollywood would be if they included 5EX as a parameter. I know it's not possible to calculate, but I have a strange feeling it be something like 2.
Happy (insert holiday) !
John S. Not
While I loved “V for Vendetta” – and she was good enough in it – she was gosh awful in the Star Wars movies. The acting force is not strong with her, but she is pretty to look at…even for a male ballerina.
Awl yu peepul is crazee. Leev hur uhlon. Hel, Eye wud hav empregnatured hur eff eye hadd thu chanze.
Noooooooooooooooooo!
One more reason to hate the French.......JUST KIDDING.
You grammar and spelling trolls need to get off your high and mighty horses and quit with the posterior retentive behavior. Seek help before someone accidentally drops a piano on you. This is an INFORMAL PUBLIC FORUM. The Duchess of dooshbury grammar is not used, In other words, S T F U.
Same old posts, over and over! Dolts!
Shotgun Wedding for a Star Wars hottie and a french dancing f@g...
i guess it is now the norm to get pregnant and then get married. i'm old school....when you are single, don't you know about birth control? just my opinion...
Now all she needs is the Best Actress Oscar for her brilliant role in Black Swan!
And, Wrighteous, I'm sure Natalie and her "ilk" are not losing any sleep over you banning them from your house...as if!
He's a BALLET DANCER!!! NOT a BALLERINA!!!!! For God's sake, you dolts, get it right! If you want to bash things, bash your head into a wall!!!
When I saw 'Jackie Burkhart' from That '70s Show munching a super-skinny Padme Amidala from Star Wars in The Black Swan I didn't think the next thing we'd be seeing was engagement and Baby but; That's Show Biz.
Just got my tan on...now i am going to do some Ho Ho Ho-ing....anyone drunk enough to be with me?
Sh sh sh shotgunnn weddinnng bluess
Whats wrong with pigs? They are great slow roasted over an open pit. Mmm....
Another shotgun wedding.... I love it! But ladies, quit going down the aisle pregnant. Wait till you have the baby if you can not do it before you start showing.
obviously looks are the most important thing in your life. how horribly shallow your life must be. The wedding ceremony is actually about taking a life long vow to love and honor one other person. im not worried about her wedding pictures, i'm sure a fat and pregnant NP will still be a million times more attractive than you on your best day.
Where in the article did it say she was pregnant prior to the engagement? Perhaps they just announced them at the same time. Maybe the planned on getting married anyway. My husband and I began trying to get pregnant prior to getting married...it happens, folks.
The article said pregnant and enganged, not pregnant and married. Im ok with it tho.
AWESOME!!! This girl deserves everything good that comes her way. She is one of the last few classy & just downright "normal" celebrities (along w/ Sandra Bullock, Tom Hanks, Will Smith, Meryl Streep & Morgan Freeman) in Hollywood. I wish her only the best & a still scorching career for all her years!
(And no i'm not being so happy just just I have "anakin" in my name. haha)
Morgan Freeman made your classy list? Why, because he has a deep voice? That 75 year old is getting married to his 20 year old step grand-daughter.
Here we go again. This won't go down well with Anakin Skywalker.
I never found her to be very compelling as an actress but I know she is a smart woman and seems nice. I'm sure she'll be a great mom.
So many people trying desperately to post Star Wars jokes and most all of them fail.
Just for you: Mila Kunis had a first take but passed out after a couple of lap rounds
Congratulations!

Interesting to see that the daughter of a gynecologist has no idea how birth control works.
It seems like 90% of Hollywood doesn't know how birth control works.
My theory is that she probably had amenorrhea (stop of menstruation due to her losing too much weight for Black Swan) so she probably thought she didn't need birth control. Wrong, it doesn't mean her body still isn't releasing eggs!
She's 30 and this is her first pregnancy. She's a contraception pro.
The fact you have a theory about how her menstruation cycles or lack there of in regards to her getting pregnant seems obsessive to me.
You don't know how or why it happened. Your speculation is crass.
Congrats! Really happy for her.
http://www.britneywaldron.com
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.
She's a horrible actress and a Polanski supporter.
Congratulations to the both of them! I hope they are very happy and are blessed with a healthy child!
OH MAN!! Take her off my list of celeb crushes. Tomei, where are you?! lol
These Hollywood types always seem to fall in love "on the set" of their last movie/show. They never practice contraception and the marriages last for less than 3 years. They live and work in make-believe worlds. Reality is not in their make-up. Their personal lives are usually a mess – why do we think that we need to listen to them. I love Natale Pportman and hope that this works out. BUT!!!!
Don't you mean "butt"? 😉
On a more serious note, you have a point. One would think that a Harvard grad, especially a psychology major *AND* an old hand at the acting gig, would figure out that relationships built in too short a time and under pressure usually don't last because one just doesn't know enough about the other...
NNNNNNOOOOOO!!!!!!! I AM SO BUMMED OUT RIGHT NOW!!! SHE WAS ON MY 5 LIST TOO!!!!!!!
oh well, there goes another nice looking body down the tubes
<>
Whoops! She got those two in the wrong order.
To those who are bashing Ms. Portman for becoming pregnant before getting married:
The article does not provide an order of events, probably intentionally, because this sort of thing is controversial. Did any of you stop to think that perhaps the two are madly in love and planned this pregnancy? It's possible, and there's not a thing wrong with it. There's no need to vilify this amazing actress based on your petty assumptions.
Robert,
In pre-Victorian times, it was common not to get married until a baby was expected. Some would get married first, though if a baby did not come within a few years the marriage would be annulled,
Only in our "modern" age have we held such archaic beliefs as to the "proper" order of the events of marriage, pregnancy, and the like.
I agree with you, I am shocked that she was able to become pregnant after such dramatic weight loss on her already lithe frame. I just became however that she has been dating her fiance for over a year now and its quite possible that she is already several months into her pregnancy. Just bc Black Swan is just now being released doesnt mean that she filmed it just recently. They were first outed as a couple last New Year at a party in NY.
its sad that some of you are so unhappy with your own lives that you must judge this young lady on her life choices. so what if she has a baby before she gets married. chances are, this child will be living a much more enjoyable and secure life than your own children...
I'm not judging the lady, I'm just sad that she cheated on me. We were together for 11 years, in my mind.
You are kidding right? Too many strikes against this child. Poor baby.
Too many strikes? The baby's mother is intelligent, well educated, and wealthy and the father is successful in his own right.
I wish I had those strikes against me when I was born.
I hope she starts taking care of herself now that she is with child. She foolishly lost 30 pounds from her already slim body for her most recent role. Even in pictures taken since then she looks like skin and bones. Here's hoping she gets her skinny behind to the nearest restaurant and gets a sandwich ASAP!
To be honest, I was a little surprised that she was able to get pregnant. I know bigger girls than that who have had their cycles stop because they were too thin and/or malnourished and/or possessed a low body fat percentage.
"Skinny behind"??? I guess you didn't see that picture of her derriere while she was wearing a thong in "The Closer" and the ones of her in the R-rated version of "Your Highness" stripping down to take a dip! That's no "skinny behind"!!! That's one lusciously rounded behind!!! Millepied is one lucky sod!
Wish someone would get me pregnant....am i too ugly???
I wouldnt mind trying it if it works thru facials
Seconds? Anyone?
I'd rather have Mila Kunis anyway..
The starfish is still bubblin'!
Just announced! There will be twins! Yoda and Chewbacca!
Wait, Benjamin Millepied isn't a Jew..? Uh-oh!
i guess this means she really is a female. i thought she was justin beiber in a dress.
lucky man
The only thing hotter than Natilie Portman is probably pregnant Natalie Portman...
the news is not worth even a yawn...
But it was worth your time to tell everyone it wasn't worth your time to read and comment?
Frankly, I honestly hope that they have a long and happy marriage; there are far too many cynical people out there that are counting on this to end badly. I know the odds are against them but once in a blue moon things do work and I think it helps that Benjamin Millepied is not part of the Hollywood crowd and has his own successful career.
PS: Good God their children are going to be ridiculously good looking!
She's a wonderful actress! One of my favorites. Congratulations to her!
she is a cute little boy
i hope this wont stunt her growth
First everyone should congratulate Portman on keeping the baby and not aborting it.
Then tell your kids that Protman's decision is second best. Harsh words sometimes get attention. Best is a marriage that is a marriage, not a marriage based solely on the goal of child rearing. Good way to make you and your partner feel special? Get married first. If that doesn't happen, then do your best to turn your relationship into something good. (yes there are implications to that statement and they should be there) Also point out that there need not be lockstep life plans. While Portman is doing the guidance teacher approved thing and getting married near to thirty, actually getting married anytime is fine.
shawbrooke,
How is it you somehow KNOW the primary purpose for this relationship is child rearing? Some people actually choose to avoid marriage because of the complications. In the case of Hollywood stars, they often avoid it because of the media frenzy. The only compelling reason for them to get legally married is to protect the child from legal issues.
I have lots of friends and colleagues who did similarly (without the Hollywood glitz). They did not want the hassle and expense of a wedding, so they never got married until they were expecting. The relationships and vows were real, however, and already in place LONG before the pregnancy.
Have you thought that maybe they WANTED to get pregnant? My husband and I were engaged for only a few months when I found out I was pregnant. Birth control failed. We chose to bump the wedding up and we got married much sooner than planned. Two children and 7 years later, we are very happy and still very much so in love. Even if I hadn't gotten pregnant, we still would have married at some point. Perhaps Natalie and her fiancée were engaged first and just hadn't announced it yet. As far as I can see she prefers to stay out of the tabloids and leads a very quiet and private life.
Actually, what's best is that they should keep their own narrow views to themselves instead of judging others or worse trying to force them on others. You should give it a try yourself.
who really cares.
I loved her on the PeeWee Herman Show. Staring as Pewee in the final 2 episodes was a triumph for her career.
Who in the h*** cares?
Apparently you do, since you clicked through to this article.
Amazing the number of hypocritical who always have to show up saying who cares – after they have read the article & posted a comment. Totally cracks me up........ idiots.
The article says nothing about the time, place or duration of said impregnation. You need to step up your journalism, CNN.
Who cares...
Novalee, I seriously hope you wont be delivery in WalMart ?
thats cool
http://67.42.80.195
A choreographer with the name Millepieds? Really?
I was thinking the same thing. Must be a ridiculous stage name; there's no way that's real.
Wow – American's live sheltered decadent lives. Were Portman living in Iran or Afghanistan she'd be stoned to death for getting herself into this pickle. The least America should do is shun her out of society.
She would have been shunned. Back in the 1400s.
If Iran and Afghanistan want to be treated with respect like a modern nation, they first need to start treating their own women with respect.
ooh, I love pickles especially in there oh baby yeah baby
How about "The couple WAS first romantically linked..." Did you even have to have a diploma to get this job?
What about you? Your grammar is just as bad - and in only one sentence, too!
User the grammarqueen is right. Couple is considered a singular word. Proper subject/verb agreement dictates that the sentence use "was" not "were."
The article is correct in its grammar. The couple signifies two; it would be incorrect to say, "The two was first..." or "They was first..."
Actually, couple—and other mass nouns such as squad, force, team, fish, etc.—can be used with either singular or plural verbs. It all depends on the connotation that the writer is trying to achieve. In this case, the use is perfect, as none of us posting were aware that the two were/are one. (The couple of people versus two people coupled as one.)
Congratulations to them both! II hope the marriage is long and happy and that the offspring is (could be are) healthy.
Why can't people do it in the correct order. Engagemant, marriage , then children?
Unwanted Pregnancy Engagement... it's the new trend in Hollyweird... That is my opinion.
I don't think the world in general, even knows how to do it the right way anymore! It's just too easy to hop in the sack, get pregnant, get engaged, and then maybe get married. Our world is in the fast lane, of immorality!
They do it just to annoy you.
@ lolasmama
I think someone forgot to tell nature engagement and marriage were prerequisites for having a baby.
BTW, your way doesn't automatically equal the "correct" one.
Congrats. As long as this is what they wanted then good for them.
Correct way? Whose correct way? Step out of your little box and be happy for the woman, her fiance and the new life they created.
Why do people like this even get space on here anyways? There are a ton of unmarried woman oh and kids having babies and they do not get this type of advertisement to let everyone know they are having a baby. This must be a new way to ask for gifts I guess.
Define "correct" order. What might be the proper order for one person is not necessarily the way that it works out for another person. It is ignorant, and unnecessarily judgmental to assume that this is not the right order for Ms. Portman. So you think she should have done things differently? Good for you, do you want a cookie? Different chronological movements work for different people. There are people who have gotten engaged, married & pregnant just to end up miserable then divorced. There is no "right" way that works for the entire world.
She had a career booming before she finished high school or college. She did that "out of order" too. Do you think that is wrong? I think you should open your mind to other ways to live your life. Just because its not right for you doesn't mean that it doesn't work for someone in this world. You can come down off your high horse now.
@becca – what a hypocrite you are... bi+ching about an article that YOU took the time to read AND then to comment on... go away......... and take your judgmental crap with you.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
soon after the birth of her twins, they will be secretly sprited away so that the evil d. cheney doesn't know of their existance.
oh wait, this millipied character is the father. if he is the mastermind behind this evil swan, then he must be the emperor. who knew that d. cheney answered to someone.
What that so funny natie portman is pregent and engadeg i lost sight out of both of my eyes
It's not as funny as how badly you spell.
Hopefully that will keep you away from your keyboard. Trying to make sense of your blathering is exhausting...
If it's a boy, Luke. If it's a girl, Leia. 🙂
You didn't hear the galactic scuttlebutt I've heard. She was impregnated by Yoda. That's why he is so powerful and she so wise. Anakin Skywalker found out he was sterile because of his exposure to a hypermatter reactor core. Padmé went to Yoda to explain her plight and he used the ancient powers of the Temple of Light. He willed upon her a twin conception by drawing upon an enormous energy field that pulled dna from Anikan and placed it into Padmé.
How many legs is the baby gonna have?
Or how many eggs is Portman going to lay.
Ew. That image just made me spew my coffee. What a waste. Now I have to get up and get more.
Can you say OOOPS! the withdrawl method doesn't always work!
You cant stop the miticloreans (or however the dumb azz word is supposed to be spelled)
I'm thinking they were relying more on the anorexia method.
Here's an idea. Did you ever think that maybe they wanted to have a kid?
I'd still hit it...
Word!
The dancer?
@ Bill Clinton, can't it be both?
pregnant then engaged. Dont tell my Grandmother. She'll lecture you about putting the cart before the horse. You must build the nest first.
And go against literally centuries of long-standing and respected tradition? There have been "shotgun weddings" for as long as there have been shotguns! (Actually, ancient Greek and Roman writers talked about these type of "happy accidents" and weddings alot.. so really, there's nothing new under the sun!)
Is it twins!?
May the force be strong in them.
Funny how people get married now these days or don't. They get pregnant first then decide to get married.
You don't have to get married to get pregnant, and you don't have to be married to be a good parent. Besides, there are a whole social class of people who are NOT allowed to get married. So, if you believe in civil rights, it invalidates the concept of marriage for EVERYONE.
I have to agree with you, and NOT Wilson. Traditional marriage has been around for thousands of years. Just because one group of people 'cannot' get 'married' doesn't mean that all marriage in invalidated.
This "social class" of people that aren't allowed to get married can't have kids. So your attempt to connect parenting to marriage fails.
@wilson – don't go away angry...just go away.
Jay G – you're attempt to connect parenting with people who 'can have' kids fails because loads of people that can't have kids can still be parents.
"these days"? What rock do you live under? Absolutely none of your business any way...
Hopefully a French ballet fop named Millipede will be man enough for her. I've heard some mighty odd things about those ballet dancers.
A milliped compared a centiped has more leg.
OH MY GOD you're HYSTERICAL! He's a DANCER! And there's this stereotype that all male dancers are GAY! And you made a JOKE ABOUT IT! Oh God the originality, the wit, you're amazing!!!!
It's amazing that in this modern age there are still people out there like you.
The article does not mention who the father is.
So, you think she knows who the father is?
Gay? Like Baryshnikov?
To the person that said that the article doesn't mention who the father is of Ms. Portman's child– you are incorrect. The wording was, "Portman and choreographer Benjamin Millepied are engaged and expecting their first child together." So this indicates that Mr. Millepied is the father. Reading comprehension fail, seriously. Thanks for playing.
And another one for the wisecracks: I wonder what Anakin will do?
My guess is cry and then do another Jumper movie
And all the Star Wars geeks cry out in unison, "NO !!!!!!!"
I think Carrie Fisher is single bwhahaha!
It's a trap!
I think you meant to say.. "no... that's not true... THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!!"
happy 1st baby "SINCE" star wars!? aaah a new port.
@Superhiro... LMAO!! You may be right 🙂
Thats wonderful news! Congrats to one of my favorite hollywood actresses!
10 bucks says the kid looks like Mark Hamill.
Before or after the car crash?
I couldn't help but laugh on that one.
Not if it looks like Carrie Fisher.
$20 says they used a turkey baster!
BAHHA! I had to comment on this one! Like!
good one... I "lol'ed" on that
Funny! I think that is the best remark ever.

Dang it!!! I lost my chance!
You may still get your chance. Even though I like Natalie Portman – and hope she is happy – chances of Hollywood marriages lasting are slim to none. Hollywood is like the revolving door of marriage and divorce.
I wouldn't fret too much over losing a chance that is 0%.
Given the hollywood divorce rate and the ordinary Joe rebounds, I would say your chance has improved. :-p
I give her credit for marrying a ballerina with less money than she. However, unless you are wealthy or a brilliant artist you do not have a chance.
Wow, my heart is TOTALLY broken! One of the last intelligent, beautiful and personable celebrity females out there, off the market. Aww, man. Either way, good luck, Natalie! I wish you the best!
@Realist – Which team does he not play for? He seems to have 4-bagged Natalie Portman, that should give you a clue which way he swings.
i hate this man, Benjamin Millepied, you have just made another enemy
She is marrying me, so get over it.
Love you natalie
Regards New Hubby ha ha ha ha
She was hot in Leon: The Professional.
Dane Cook is the father.
DARTH VADER MUST BE FURIOUS
Hey! Is Anakin aware of this development???
