Natalie Portman has been facing rumours about her marriage to Benjamin Millepied.

The Black Swan actress married the choreographer in 2012 and the couple share two kids - Aleph, 12, and Amalia, six. Last year, rumours swirled that Benjamin cheated on Natalie with Camille Etienne, a climate activist.

After the couple were spotted not wearing their wedding rings, it fanned the flames of possible infidelity. Now Natalie is ready to set the record straight.

"It's terrible. I have no desire to contribute to it," she said. While she didn't confirm or deny any cheating going on in the relationship, and neither has Benjamin, it still shows that Natalie is not here for the rumour mill.

In June, French magazine Voici accused 46-year-old Benjamin of having an affair with the 25-year-old Camille as the two were photographed leaving his office together. Shortly after, People claimed that a source told them the affair was "short lived" and Benjamin is "doing all he can to get Natalie to forgive him and keep their family together."

There's still no official word on whether Natalie and Benjamin are still together, as Natalie made a solo appearance last month at the Golden Globes without her wedding ring. But this could mean very little, as the couple have been wearing their rings on and off since the infidelity rumours started.

Shortly after the allegations, the couple was seen with their rings on at the 2023 Women's World Cup final in Sydney, Australia with their son Aleph. But then a month after that, Natalie and Benjamin didn't have their rings on when they dropped their children off at school in Paris.

The Academy Award-winning actress first met Benjamin in 2009 when they met on the set of the film Black Swan. Within a year they were engaged and announced they were expecting their first child together. Natalie and Benjamin then married in Big Sur, California on August 4, 2012.
