Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied

The enchanting love story between actress Natalie Portman and French dancer and choreographer Benjamin Millepied began on the set of the critically acclaimed film "Black Swan." As Benjamin assisted Natalie in perfecting her ballet moves for the movie, a connection blossomed between them. Despite the challenges of Ben's task of fitting 500 pairs of ballet shoes, he demonstrated his expertise as a dancer and, in a lighthearted manner, earned the playful nickname "millipede."

Interestingly, the humorous coincidence doesn't end there. Benjamin's last name, Millepied, actually translates to "thousand feet" in his native language, adding a touch of poetic charm to their story. In 2012, the talented dancer and Natalie, a Harvard Ph.D. Psychology graduate and accomplished actress took their Love to the next level by exchanging vows. Together, they have been blessed with a daughter named Amalia and a son named Aleph, forming a beautiful family unit.
