HuffPost
The "Black Swan" star quietly filed for divorce last year from ex-husband Benjamin Millepied after reports of his alleged affair with another woman.
Natalie Portman is relishing in newfound freedom after her divorce with Benjamin Millepied.
The Oscar winner is sharing “gratitude” four months after finalizing her legal proceedings to separate from Millepied, the French choreographer whom she met on the set of “Black Swan” (2010) and later married in 2012, following rumors he was having an extramarital affair.
“This year, on my birthday, I want to celebrate my gratitude for my friends who lift me up again and again,” she wrote Monday in the caption of an Instagram post, which features a carousel of selfies, group photos and travel snapshots from around the world.
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEAUTIFUL HUMAN,” commented Kerry Washington, while Reese Witherspoon — who produced Portman’s “Lucy in the Sky” and purportedly taught her how to use Instagram — wrote: “Happy Birthday, you incredible diamond of a human! I love you.”
The flood of well wishes also included heartfelt tributes from the likes of Chris Hemsworth, whom Portman starred opposite from in multiple “Thor” films, her “May December” co-star Julianne Moore, Tracee Ellis Ross, Mindy Kaling and fellow recent divorcée Isla Fisher.
