Months after their highly publicized divorce, Natalie Portman‘s former spouse, Benjamin Millepied, was seen sharing an intense kiss with an unknown woman in Paris on October 15th.
Interestingly, the brunette mystery woman bears a resemblance to Portman, according to new paparazzi photos.
The Oscar-winning actress, 43, and choreographer, 47, ended their 11-year marriage earlier this year, during which they had two children.

The former couple discreetly ended their relationship last year, and by July 2023, the May December actress had filed for divorce, as reported by People. By March of this year, the divorce was officially finalized in France, where the ex-partners are co-parenting their 13-year-old son Aleph and 7-year-old daughter Amalia.
Several months later, in July, Portman made her first public comment about the divorce during an appearance on The Tonight Show. The Black Swan star also reminisced about her viral encounter with Rihanna at Paris Fashion Week back in January.
Earlier this year, the Grammy-winning singer, 36, called Portman "one of the hottest b—hes in Hollywood forever." Portman later told host Jimmy Fallon: "I think every woman going through a divorce should get to have Rihanna say to her that she’s a bad b—h. It was—it was exactly what I needed."
Rumors of Millepied having an extramarital affair while married to Portman surfaced last year. "It was initially really tough for her, but her friends rallied around her and helped get her through the worst of it," an insider shared with People.
The source added: "Natalie is coming out of a really tough and painful year but she's come out the other side of it stronger and is finding joy in her family, friends and work."
In an interview with Vanity Fair back in February, Portman touched upon the speculation surrounding Millepeid's alleged infidelity. "It's terrible,” she told the outlet, "and I have no desire to contribute to it."
However, just a few months later, the Jackie alum displayed a more hopeful outlook. She posted a series of photos featuring her closest friends on social media, expressing heartfelt gratitude for their unwavering support.
Portman captioned her June 9th Instagram post: "This year, on my birthday, I want to celebrate my gratitude for my friends who lift me up again and again."
