Natalie Portman And Her Family Are Moving To France

The gig starts in September of 2014, and Millepied will replace Brigitte Lefevre, who has been the director of dance at the Paris Opera since 1995.

Millepied joined the School of American Ballet as a teenager, and he was previously the choreographer and a former principal at New York City Ballet. The Times notes that Millepied’s new gig came as a bit of a surprise as a current or former company member is generally chosen to lead the Paris Opera Ballet. Interesting!

Millepied and Portman met on the set of Black Swan in 2009 (he was the choreographer and had a brief role opposite Portman), and the duo announced their engagement in December 2010. Portman, who nabbed an Oscar for her role in the film, gave birth to their son Aleph in June 2011, and the couple tied the knot in Big Sur in August of 2012.



Wonder how long that will last?

No - she's a curvy girl who probably just had a big lunch.
Who Knows - give the girl some privacy!
