Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied are still said to be trying to work through their differences after reports the Frenchman cheated on his wife.

The couple have been married for nearly 11 years and share two children together, but its thought their pairing is hanging in the balance following Benjamin's reported infidelity.

Reports claim the 46-year-old cheated on actress Natalie, 42, with 25-year-old climate activist Camille Étienne.

But Natalie and Benjamin are said to be looking into making sure their time together doesn't come to an end, despite the rumours.

While Benjamin is reportedly doing all he can to win back the trust of his partner, it's said Natalie is making sure her "biggest focus" are her kids; Aleph, 11, and Amalia, 6.

A source close to the couple told Closer: "He [Benjamin] is doing everything he can to get Natalie to forgive him. He loves her and their family."

Mirror has contacted the pair's representatives for comment.

The reports come a day after the Black Swan star was seen wiping away a tear after being caught in a tense exchange with her husband in a park.

At one point during their conversation, Natalie sat forward on the bench and had a tense look on her face. She then rested her head on the top of the bench.

It was the first time the couple had been seen together since reports broke of the alleged affair.

Another source recently told People Benjamin has acknowledged his mistake and will continue to try to make it up to his wife.

They said: "It was short-lived and it is over. He knows he made an enormous mistake and he is doing all he can to get Natalie to forgive him and keep their family together.

"Natalie is incredibly private and has no intention of playing this out in the media. Her biggest priority is protecting her children and their privacy."

The pair tied the knot after meeting on set of Black Swan in 2010. On their 10th wedding anniversary in 2022, Natalie shared a sweet Instagram post which read: "Ten years today @benjaminmillepied, and it keeps getting better…"

She shared a picture of the pair alongside her happy words at the time.
