Actor Natalie Portman is expecting her third child with her partner, ‌French music producer Tanguy Destable.

"I'm ‌just very grateful. I know it's such a privilege and a miracle," ‌the Oscar-winning actor told Harper's Bazaar, where she revealed the news. "Tanguy and I are very excited."

Portman, 44, said her perspective on pregnancy has long been shaped by her upbringing as the ‌daughter of ‌a fertility ⁠doctor.

"I grew up hearing about how hard ​it is to get pregnant," she told the magazine. "I have so many people I love who have had such a hard time."

Portman said she has more energy than she expected, noting she ⁠is cherishing each moment because ‌it ​will likely be her last pregnancy.

Portman shares two children - son Aleph ​and daughter ‌Amalia - with her former husband, choreographer Benjamin Millepied.

The Black Swan ​and Thor star has many accolades, including an Academy Award, a BAFTA and two Golden Globe wins.

One of Portman's most ​anticipated ​upcoming films is ​the 2026 dark absurdist comedy The Gallerist, directed ‌by Cathy Yan and starring Portman alongside Jenna Ortega, Sterling K Brown and Catherine Zeta-Jones.

The film follows a gallerist, played by Portman, who is driven by desperation and comes up with a ​scheme to sell a dead man at the renowned modern ​art show, Art ⁠Basel Miami.
