Let's talk about Thor: Love and Thunder star Natalie Portman, who's doing an amazing job juggling her career and family life. Before heading back to the studio for another blockbuster project, Natalie is soaking up every moment with her loved ones. Last Friday, September 13, the two-time mom was seen enjoying breakfast with her husband, Benjamin Millepied, and their adorable 2-year-old daughter, Amalia. If you ask me, nothing says quality time like a family breakfast!
Of course, Natalie and Benjamin's family is not just about Amalia. They’re also proud parents to their 8-year-old son, Aleph. While Aleph wasn’t part of the breakfast trio this time, he’s been making the most of his summer by joining his family for a magical day at Disneyland in August. As school season rolled around, Aleph had to get back to his studies, but you can bet he's got plenty of fun memories to share with his classmates.
A Look Into Natalie Portman's Family Dynamics
Now that Aleph is almost 10, it's natural to wonder if he might follow in his mom's footsteps and try his hand at acting. While Natalie hasn't explicitly discussed her kids pursuing careers in Hollywood, she's been open about her own experiences as a young actress. In a candid chat with People, Natalie shared some hard truths about the challenges of being a child star in the industry. She recalled, "I know I was sexualized in the ways that I was photographed or portrayed, and that was not my doing. That becomes a part of your public identity." It’s powerful stuff, right?

Reflections on a Tough Start in Hollywood
Natalie's journey in Hollywood wasn't all glitz and glamour, especially during her formative years. She opened up about the difficulties of feeling safe in the industry at such a young age. "I understood very quickly, even as a 13-year-old, that if I were to express myself sexually, I would feel unsafe and that men would feel entitled to discuss and objectify my body, much to my great discomfort," she explained. To counteract this, Natalie felt the need to cover up and limit her self-expression. Her goal? To send a clear message to the world that she deserved safety and respect. Talk about strength and resilience!
So, what happens if Aleph or Amalia decide to step into the spotlight? One thing’s for sure—Natalie and Benjamin will be their biggest cheerleaders, supporting them every step of the way. Whether they choose acting or another path, their parents will always have their backs. That's the kind of love and support every kid deserves, don’t you think?
