Both love and a quantum leap came to Portman at once. The actress was already a critically acclaimed actress when she played her Oscar-winning role, Nina Sayers, in the 2010 psychological thriller Black Swan. Little did Natalie know that she would walk out of sets with more than worldwide acclaim. The actress was introduced to Millepied, who trained her Portman in the art of ballet.

The pair started dating while filming the thriller and announced their engagement and first pregnancy within a year. "The pregnancy was a bit of a shock," an insider said while revealing that the French choreographer proposed to Natalie after learning about the pregnancy. The couple's firstborn, Aleph, was born in June 2011, over a year before their traditional Jewish wedding at a private home facing the ocean, in August 2012.

"Nothing is more important than my personal life," the Black Swan actress once said, adding, "It's something which comes first, always makes sense, and compared to the happiness of a successful family life, everything else is practically superficial." A year after their wedding, Portman and Benjamin relocated to Paris, and the actress even contemplated becoming a French citizen, calling it her unfulfilled francophile dream.
