Natalie Portman And Benjamin Millepied Engaged, Expecting First Child

 Natalie Portman’s “Black Swan” character may have lost her mind, but the actress can thank the film for gaining her a fiance and a baby. The actress’ reps confirmed to People that Portman and her boyfriend, Benjamin Millepied, are engaged and expecting their first child. The two met on the set of the film—which is garnering Oscar buzz—in which Millepied was both a choreographer and had a bit part (as the Prince to Portman’s Swan Queen in “Swan Lake”). Millepied had a girlfriend (another ballet dancer) at the time, but working with Portman so closely—she trained for five hours a day for a year—led to the two falling in love. Well, 2011 is certainly looking to be an exciting year for the actress.

It would be an understatement to say that Natalie Portman is having one terrific year. Not only is her film, Black Swan, one of the most critically acclaimed movies of 2010 (and may even earn her an Oscar), but she is also engaged to her ballet dancer boyfriend Benjamin Millepied and expecting her first child!

The 29-year-old's rep confirmed the news to People, but so far, there's been no official statement. (Although we're sure the couple is nothing less than totally thrilled!)

Prior to her relationship with the New York City Ballet dancer, whom she reportedly met on the set of Black Swan, Natalie was linked to rocker Devendra Banhar and actor Gael Garcia Bernal. Is Natalie Portman's Man A Scheming, Social Climber?

 Natalie and Benjamin have been dating for over a year, and, despite all of the rumors surrounding their relationship (like the one that she "stole" him from his live-in ex girlfriend or the story about how Benjamin is a "scheming, social climber"), we wish them the very best. We can't wait to see the glowy, expectant mother-and bride-to-be walk the red carpet with her man at the upcoming Golden Globe Awards.
