Who Is Natalie Portman’s Boyfriend Tanguy Destable? Meet the French Musician Expecting a Baby With the Oscar-Winning Actress

Academy Award-winning actress Natalie Portman has confirmed she is expecting her third child — and her first with French electronic musician and producer Tanguy Destable, known professionally as Tepr. The announcement, made public on April 17, 2026, marks a significant personal milestone for the 44-year-old performer, who finalized her divorce from choreographer Benjamin Millepied in February 2024.

Tanguy Destable, better known to European electronic music audiences by his stage name Tepr, is a Paris-based producer, composer, and DJ whose career spans nearly two decades. He first captured widespread attention in 2007 with his remix of French pop artist Yelle’s breakout single “À Cause des Garçons,” a track that went viral on early social platforms and became a defining anthem of the late-2000s French electro scene. Since then, Destable has released multiple EPs and albums, composed scores for film and television, and toured extensively across Europe, carving out a niche in a genre that has included globally recognized acts such as Daft Punk, Justice, and M83.

Portman’s relationship with Destable became public knowledge in early 2025, though the pair had reportedly been dating quietly since late 2024. The Harvard-educated actress, who won the Academy Award for Best Actress in 2011 for her role in “Black Swan” and has since starred in productions ranging from Marvel’s “Thor” franchise to the 2023 film “May December,” has spent much of the past decade dividing her time between the United States, Israel, and France. Her fluency in French and deep ties to Parisian cultural life — she has served as a brand ambassador for Dior and regularly attends Paris Fashion Week — place her squarely within the same creative milieu that Destable has inhabited for years.

The pregnancy announcement arrives during a professionally active period for Portman, who has several projects in development through her production company, Handsomecharlie Films, founded in 2008. She has increasingly used the company to champion female-driven storytelling, producing titles such as “Eating Animals” and “Lucy in the Sky.” How the addition of a new child will affect her production schedule remains to be seen, though she has historically balanced motherhood with sustained output — appearing in multiple major releases during the years following each of her previous children’s births. Destable, meanwhile, continues to record and perform, with his most recent material released through independent French labels.
