Natalie Portman Weds Benjamin Millepied After Two Year Engagement
Wedding Bells are ringing for Natalie Portman!
The 31-year-old Oscar winner tied the knot in a private Jewish ceremony to French dancer-choreographer Benjamin Millepied in Big Sur, Calif., Saturday night. They were surrounded by family and friends when they exchanged vows in the dark, beneath a chuppah.
Details about Portman's dress has yet to be revealed, but the actress' favorite designers are Rodarte, Lanvin, Dior, and Zac Posen.
Portman met Millepied on the set of the 2009 film "Black Swan," and welcomed their 14-month old son, Aleph, the following year.
According to best buddy Rashida Jones, Portman is someone you always want to have in your corner.
She "would fight beasts 10 times her size to protect the people she loves." Said Jones during an interview with Marie Claire magazine " She is the kind of friend who can sub in and love you through the times when you can't necessarily love yourself."
One thing you may not know about Portman is that she has an affinity to rap music, but not just any rap song will do, the demure actress just loves to bust a move to some of the music industry's most explicit lyrics.
"Really, really obscene hip-hop. I love it so much." She told Interview magazine back in 2009. " It makes me laugh and then it makes me want to dance. Those are like my two favorite things, so combined . . . I've been listening a lot lately to "Wait (The Whisper Song)" by the Ying Yang Twins, where the lyrics are like, "Wait 'til you see my dick"-which is just amazing because it's whispered. [whispers] "Wait 'til you see my dick . . . " [laughs] Crazy. So I just listen to it like I'm a five-year-old, like, "Oh my god! I can't believe he just said that!"
Portman was discovered in a Long Island pizza parlor at age 11. That chance encounter later led to her first film debut opposite veteran actor Jean Reno, in 1994's, "The Professional."
