Natalie Portman is Pregnant, Expecting Third Child at 44 Years Old

Natalie Portman just dropped a big baby bomb … she’s expecting her third child!

The 44-year-old made the reveal in a new Harper’s Bazaar interview that was published on Friday, saying she’s “awed” and “excited” to be pregnant again.

This will be the acclaimed actress’s first child with partner Tanguy Destable … and she tells the mag she’s “grateful” for the pregnancy, calling it “a privilege and a miracle.”

The actress was snapped out and about in Paris Friday amid the exciting announcement … covering up any signs of a baby bump with a green coat.

Natalie says that — because her father is a fertility expert — she “grew up hearing about how hard it is to get pregnant.”

And she’s not taking it for granted, adding … “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.”

Emotionally, Natalie’s full of gratitude … and physically, she’s thriving. She tells HB that she has “more energy than I thought I might” and has been swimming and doing gyrotonics workouts to “keep strong” during her pregnancy.

She joked about being preggo in Paris, telling the publication … “In France, they consider full-term to be 41 weeks rather than 40, so I guess I get an extra week to be pregnant this time around.”

Since this isn’t Natalie’s first rodeo, she feels confident about welcoming her new child with her music producer partner, saying … “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.”

As far as pregnancy cravings … she tells the mag that she has a hankering for pineapple and melon.

NP shares her first two kids — her 14-year-old son Aleph and 9-year-old daughter Amalia — with ex-husband Benjamin Millepied, and tells the mag she’s been spending a ton of time with them lately … which she says is “always the best.”
