Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied have finalized their divorce after 11 years of marriage, per reports.
The pair completed the divorce last month in France, where they live with their children, Aleph, 12, and Amalia, 7, according to People.
The Oscar-winning actress, 42, filed for divorce in July of last year following reports in May that her choreographer husband, 46, had an affair.
Portman has remained quiet during their eight-month separation, in an apparent effort to protect the privacy of their children during the transition. The family has been photographed out together multiple times throughout the divorce process, though Portman has walked red carpets solo sans wedding ring.
In an interview with Vanity Fair last month, Portman was asked about the public speculation surrounding her separation from Millepied, and she declined to answer.
It’s terrible, and I have no desire to contribute to it, she said.
The pair met on the set of her 2010 film Black Swan, on which Millepied worked as choreographer, teaching Portman the ballet sequences she performed. They married in 2012.
Both have stayed busy, focused on recent and upcoming projects. Millepied worked as choreographer on Dune: Part Two, and Portman spent much of their separation promoting the film May December. She is currently shooting the Guy Ritchie film Fountain of Youth and preparing for the upcoming limited TV series Lady in the Lake.
