Natalie Portman warns cheating husband Benjamin Millepied: 'If he messes up again, she'll likely pull the plug'
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: 'The Queen of Naboo' from 'Star Wars', a.k.a. Natalie Portman, is not letting her husband 'The Ballet Dancer' from 'Black Swan', a.k.a. Benjamin Millepied off the hook easily after he cheated on her with young environmentalist. The actress, who has been married to the dancer since 2012, has decided to give him another shot, but only under certain conditions.
As reported by OK! Magazine, citing an unnamed news outlet, a source said that Portman, 42, has demanded full access to Millepied's passwords and accounts and that he has to accompany her on every outing. "He's fine with whatever rules she wants," the source said.
'If he messes up again, she'll likely pull the plug'
"If he messes up again, she'll likely pull the plug, the source added further. The couple, who met on the set of Black Swan in 2009, share two children: Aleph, 12, and Amalia, six. Another insider as per the OK! magazine said that their marriage was strained by Portman's busy career as an Oscar-winning actress. "There were long periods" where 'the ballet choreographer' from 'Barbie of Swan Lake' was "effectively a single parent" while 'the vigilante' from 'V for Vendetta' was "away making movies," the insider said. The scientist from 'Thor' gave him a "lot of freedom to do as he pleased because she thought she could trust him."
'There is a lot that Ben is leaving out'
However, Millepied, 46, betrayed her trust when he had an affair with Camille Etienne, a 25-year-old climate activist who he met through mutual friends in the film industry. A source reportedly told the publication that their fling was "short-lived and it is over," but another claimed that Millepied was "very attracted" to Etienne and that their relationship was more than just a friendship. "There is a lot that Ben is leaving out" about the affair, the source said.
'Every night is date night while he gets back in her good graces'
"As the saying goes, cheating is only a symptom of something wrong in the marriage," the insider said. The source added that Portman and Millepied are both trying to fix their problems and save their family. "Every night is date night while he gets back in her good graces," the source said. "Her friends are all hoping he's going to stick to his word and stay loyal. It's the least Natalie deserves.".
