Which dancer did actress Natalie Portman marry in 2012?

Natalie Portman married dancer and choreographer Benjamin Millepied in 2012.

Portman met Millepied while working on the 2010 film “Black Swan,” for which he served as a choreographer and performed as a principal dancer. Portman played Nina Sayers, a ballet dancer, and trained extensively for the role. The two became engaged in 2010 and welcomed their first child in 2011.

They married on August 4, 2012, in a Jewish ceremony at a private home in Big Sur, California. The wedding reflected Portman’s Jewish background and was attended by family and close friends. Millepied was born in France and trained at the New York City Ballet before working internationally as a dancer and choreographer.

The couple have two children. A common mix-up is identifying Millepied only as Portman’s “Black Swan” dance double; he was a professional choreographer and dancer involved in the film’s production, while Portman performed much of her character’s acting and movement work herself.
