Natalie Portman recently gave an interview to The Wall Street Journal, but it was what the actress, 42, didn’t say that had everyone buzzing. While the piece notes that Natalie lives in Paris with her two kids, son Aleph, 12, and daughter Amalia, 6, it makes no mention of her husband of 11 years, Benjamin Millepied.

“Natalie is officially pulling the plug on her marriage,” a source tells Life & Style exclusively. “She really tried forgiving Benjamin — the last thing she imagined in her life was a divorce — but she could not get past the betrayal.”

A week after the news broke, Natalie was seen wiping away tears as she and Benjamin watched their kids play in a Paris park.
