Natalie Portman revealed that her kids are her “source of excitement,” following her divorce.
In a recent appearance with Wednesday actress Jenna Ortega for an interview with Interview Magazine, the 43-year-old Thor actress shared some rare insights into her life as a mom of two.
“My kids are always a source of excitement, because you just see them develop into the individuals they are,” the Black Swan star told Ortega.
“Also, I’ve been spending a lot of time with my friends, with their kids and my kids; that’s pretty fun,” she noted.
It is pertinent to mention that Portman welcomed two kids, daughter Amalia, 8, and son Aleph, 13, with ex-husband Benjamin Millepied.
Although Portman is not a very private person but when it comes to her children, she chose to keep them away from the spotlight.
“I’m not a particularly private person in real life—I’ll tell you anything—but in public, it was so clear early on that if you tell people how private you are, your privacy gets respected a lot more,” the actress detailed.
“I set up a little bit of a barrier to be like, ‘I’m not going to do photo shoots with my kids,’” Portman added.
For those unversed, Portman and her ex-partner Millepied parted ways in July 2023 and officially got divorced in February 2024.
