Natalie Portman feels grateful for her supportive circle of friends as she celebrates another year around the sun. The 43-year-old actress marked her birthday on Sunday with a special shoutout to her pals on Instagram. "This year, on my birthday, I want to celebrate my gratitude for my friends who lift me up again and again," Portman captioned a carousel of photos showing her enjoying quality time with her friends.
Many of the snaps appear from recent events, including an after-party at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival and the Dior Fall-Winter 2023-2024 fashion show in Paris, France. Several of Portman's friends filled the post's comments section with heartfelt birthday wishes. "@natalieportman happy birthday gorgeous lady," Tracee Ellis Ross wrote.
"Happy birthday, beautiful!" Mindy Kaling added. Portman's post comes after the Oscar winner finalized her divorce from Benjamin Millepied in February after over a decade of marriage. Portman and the French choreographer, who met on the set of Black Swan in 2009, initially separated in May 2023 after reports surfaced of Millepied's alleged extramarital affair.
Portman quietly filed for divorce in France that July. Portman and Millepied have two children together: son Aleph, 12, and daughter Amalia, 6, and they've resided primarily in Paris in recent years. While navigating her divorce, Portman has leaned on her tightknit group of friends for support, as highlighted in her heartfelt birthday post.
