Actress Natalie Portman opened up about the joys of motherhood as she celebrated the arrival of her third child.

Portman, 45, welcomed her third child–her first with her partner, electronic musician and producer Tanguy Destable–in the late summer. She shares two older children, Aleph and Amalia, with her ex-husband, dancer and choreographer Benjamin Milliepied. Speaking with Harper’s Bazaar, the “Black Swan” actress revealed that she is “full of wonder and joy” at her new arrival, who she dubbed a “magical little human.”

“I’m just very grateful,” said Portman in April, “I know it’s such a privilege and a miracle.” This follows Portman showing off her dream life in Paris after leaving America.

Portman added that having a third child “gives me a whole new attention to my big kids too.” Aleph is 15 years old and Amalia is nine.

“I am reminded of how recently they were these little fresh creations and how quickly they’ve blossomed into incredible humans with their own amazing personalities and senses of humor and ideas,” she said.

“I have so many people I love who’ve had such a hard time with it that I want to be respectful around that as well,” she said.

“It’s such a beautiful, joyous thing, and it’s also not an easy thing. And so I know how lucky it is. I’m very aware, and I’m very grateful. I have deep appreciation and gratitude,” added the May December starlet.

She continued, saying that the “gratitude” came with age, conceding that “you don’t necessarily grasp” the feeling when one is pregnant at a younger age.

“There’s a calm and knowing myself: who I want to spend time with, what kind of energy I want around me that makes the experience so beautiful every day,” Portman said of her pregnancy at 44. “And knowing it’s probably the last time, I cherish every moment.”

In April, she revealed that she had “more energy than I thought I might” when she was pregnant. She practiced swimming and Gyrotonics to maintain her strength while carrying her child.

She added that she “read so many books” the first time she had a child, but now “know[s] what to do.”

“It’s okay,” Portman said. “You figure it out. We’re going to make lots of mistakes, no matter how hard we try. And also, we’re going to do a lot right without having to do research. I feel like if you’re just present and loving, that’s the best thing possible.”

Portman and Destable, 46, confirmed their relationship in March 2025. The pair’s partnership followed Portman officially finalizing her divorce from Milliepied in February 2024. Portman and Milliepied met on the set of Black Swan and later married in California in August 2012.
