LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Fans of Natalie Portman are not happy amid cheating rumors of her dancer husband Benjamin Millepied. It has been alleged that the couple, who got married in 2012 and separated briefly last year before working through their marriage problems, are now in the middle of the fight to save their marriage. But her fans are not happy with the cheating allegations and are urging the 'Star Wars' actress to "dump him".
It was first reported by French magazine Voici, as per Page Six, that Millepied, who worked with Portman in her 2010 smash hit ‘Black Swan’, was photographed spending time with 25-year-old French climate activist Camille Étienne. According to the same news source, the couple have not split and are trying to save the marriage, “They have not split and are trying to work things out. Ben is doing everything he can to get Natalie to forgive him. He loves her and their family.”
‘The Other Woman’?
The start of the relationship between the ‘No Strings Attached’ actress and her choreographer husband was somewhat curious. When the duo met each other on the sets of ‘Black Swan’ in 2009, Millepied was in a relationship with his long time girlfriend, dancer Isabella Boylston. It was then said that the New York Ballet principal was living with his girlfriend in an apartment in New York City’s East Village. After meeting Portman he left Boylston to be in a relationship with the actress.
At the start of their relationship, New York Daily News reported that Millepied and Boylston vacationed together in the Caribbean and Martha's Vineyard in September 2009. The last photo they posted on Facebook was in November, which was around the time when ‘Black Swan’ started filming. Portman and Millefied were, however, spotted kissing during the Christmas of the same year.
'How you get them is how you lose them'
"If he cheated on Natalie Portman, he's a fool and not worthy of her. Dump his a**," commented one enraged fan saying Millepied is not worth of Portman's love. As Portman's husband's allegedly short-lived affair came into public discourse, one fan ranted and apologized for the entire male community. He wrote, "Who cheats on Natalie Portman ? She graduated from Harvard, won an Oscar for acting and has been a socially conscious activist for decades. She is also just casually one of the most beautiful women on the planet. I apologise for all men. We are clearly idiots." The third fan slammed Millepied for being the "lucky nobody" to get Natalie Portman fall for him only to cheat on her, "Imagine being the lucky nobody who got a gig working on Black Swan and ended up getting Natalie Portman to fall in love with him and then cheating on her."
Someone else slammed brutally, "How are you going to cheat on Natalie Portman with the Wish version of Natalie Portman?" Another fan offered the advice to dump him, "Dump him. No matter how good you are, there will always be another 25-year-old."
Someone else, however, commented that Natalie Portman too cheated with him during the initial days of their relationship, "Natalie didn’t seem to mind cheating with him on his fiancée when she met him so….meh." Another resonated the same feeling, "Their relationship started with him leaving his finance for Natalie. Disappointed but not surprised." "How you get them is how you lose them," commented the third.
