Natalie Portman celebrated her 43rd birthday by expressing gratitude to her friends

After keeping her separation from Benjamin Millepied under wraps for a year, Natalie Portman spoke out about their divorce on 'The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon' in July. 

As the late-night talk show host brought up the topic of Portman meeting Rihanna during the Paris Fashion Week, the actress said it was a "formative moment in my life."

She added, "I think every woman going through a divorce should get to have Rihanna say to her that she’s a bad b****h. It was — it was exactly what I needed. It was an amazing experience for me."



 

A month before her appearance on Fallon's show, Portman celebrated her 43rd birthday by sharing a heartfelt post on Instagram. The 'Thor: Love and Thunder' actress shared a carousel of photos of her loved ones, writing, "This year, on my birthday, I want to celebrate my gratitude for my friends who lift me up again and again."

In May 2023, several media outlets reported that Millepied, whom Portman met on the set of 'Black Swan' in early 2009, had cheated on her.

On the topic of people writing about her marriage and her personal life in a very public way, the actress told Vanity Fair in February of this year, "It's terrible, and I have no desire to contribute to it."

The 'Star Wars' alum also spoke candidly about her "non-Hollywood life."

She shared, "I lead a very non-Hollywood life in LA. I live on the east side. I have some friends who are in the entertainment industry, but many friends who are not, and we don't do industry things when we hang out. We're not going to Hollywood parties, we're having dinners at home in the backyard."
