Natalie Portman and Estranged Husband Benjamin Millepied Spotted Ringless During Tense Walk Following Cheating Rumors
Rumors that Benjamin cheated with a 25-year-old sparked in June.
Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied didn't seem happy in a recent outing post-cheating rumors. The estranged couple put on a brave face, bringing their two children on a tense-looking stroll in Paris, France, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Portman, 42, and Millepied, 46, poured fuel on the breakup flames as neither wore their wedding rings.
Natalie and Benjamin have been allegedly trying a "trial separation."
As this outlet reported, the Avengers actress' husband was accused of cheating on her with a much younger woman. While the alleged affair immediately sparked divorce speculation, sources claimed Portman was opting for a "trial separation;" however, it was later reported that she was "having second thoughts" about taking Millepied back.
The latest outing didn't appear as if they were rekindling anything.
In the photos obtained by Daily Mail, Portman looked somber while walking alongside her estranged husband and their children, Aleph, 12, and Amalia, six, in the French capital.
Despite going ringless, the Hollywood star and the choreographer tried to put on a united front.
Insiders say Natalie doesn't want to divorce "because of the kids."
Portman and Millepied appear to live under the same roof amid the alleged infidelity as they exited their apartment and walked their kids to school. The Black Swan actress dressed down, wearing a white t-shirt and light blue athletic shorts.
Sporting her hair up in a messy bun, Portman accessorized with a black crossbody, sneakers, sunglasses, and no diamond ring.
The French dancer matched his estranged wife's energy. Millepied rocked a white crew neck, navy pants, sneakers, and a scarf tied around his neck. He paired the laid-back look with his own crossbody and dark-colored sunglasses.
According to the photographers who captured the snaps, Portman and Millepied barely spoke during the outing. The May December star was seen clutching her cell phone for most of the stroll.
