At a sustainability summit in Paris, Natalie Portman not only took part in a panel discussion but also publicly showed her children for the first time.
When Natalie Portman, 43, appeared at the Grand Palais in Paris on Saturday, April 26, 2025, she surprised everyone. For the “ChangeNow” event, the Hollywood star brought along her son Aleph, 13, and her daughter Amalia, 8 — a first. Never before had the Oscar winner appeared at an official event with both of her children from her marriage to Benjamin Millepied, 47.
Natalie Portman Shows Her Children Publicly for the First Time
Natalie Portman beamed as she strolled hand in hand with her children through the historic exhibition hall. On the third day of the “ChangeNow” event, the actress, who advocates for gender equality, social justice, and climate protection, participated in a panel discussion with Indian-British activist Satish Kumar, 88.
Before and after her appearance, she sat in the audience with her children — who were surely very proud of their committed mother. Natalie Portman’s daughter wore a white, cropped top paired with jeans and sneakers. She inherited her brown eyes from her mother.
Teenage Son Aleph Is Almost as Tall as His Famous Mother
Her teenage son Aleph appeared in a red polo shirt, also paired with jeans, sneakers, and a red cap. What stood out about the 13-year-old celebrity offspring was not only how much he resembled Natalie, but also how he had nearly grown to be as tall as his mother.
In March 2024, Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied — for whom she once moved to Paris — filed for divorce after twelve years of marriage. This final step followed months of rumors about the French ballet dancer’s alleged affairs. Since then, both the father of her two children and Natalie Portman herself have found new partners.
Why Did Portman Appear in Paris?
According to its own statements, “ChangeNow” is a “social enterprise founded in 2017 that accelerates ecological and social change by promoting concrete actions and solutions addressing the greatest challenges of our century.”
At the “ChangeNow Summit,” “the most innovative minds in the field of sustainability come together to advocate for concrete actions to protect our planet and to make real progress.” Figures like Natalie Portman took the stage to talk about “how everyone, regardless of the size of their platform, can help accelerate change.”
