The Rumored Affair That Rocked Natalie Portman And Benjamin Millepied's Marriage

On May 24, two days before he attended the Beyoncé concert with Natalie Portman, Benjamin Millepied and French environment activist Camille Étienne [pictured above], who is 20 years his junior, were seen entering his office separately and exiting within minutes of each other two hours later, Page Six reported. Portman reportedly learned he was having an affair with a much younger woman in March, France's Voici reported.

According to a source who spoke with People, the affair between Millepied and Étienne is in the past. "It was short-lived and it is over," the insider said in the June 2 report. Millepied is reportedly willing to do what it takes to fix his marriage. "He knows he made an enormous mistake and he is doing all he can to get Natalie to forgive him and keep their family together," the source added. Despite the alleged infidelity, the couple has not pulled the plug on their marriage, a source told Page Six, also on June 2. "They have not split and are trying to work things out," they said.

While hurt, Portman wants to make it work. "Natalie believes Benjamin's affair was a brief and stupid liaison that means nothing to him," a source told Us Weekly on June 7. Just days after his supposed rendezvous with Étienne, Millepied and Portman were seen being affectionate with each other. On June 7, Portman attended the French Open wearing her wedding ring.
