Natalie Portman, Ben Millepied - affair?

[podium]

Ouch. So she is humiliated that he is having an affair, but her affair with him was fun and beautiful? Got it.

I wonder if the then girlfriend was humiliated.

I have no doubt he will eventually cheat on the 25 year old.

^^^I'm just glad that she didn't put up with him screwing a 25 year old on the side. The audacity of this guy.

Uh, she was ALSO the one he was screwing on the side when they got together, so she really doesn't have any moral high road

[loftybike]

^^^huh? I didn't even know that....
I'll look it up.

[dechayz]

It was a very Arianna situation, except there were no kids involved and he was only engaged, not married

[loftybike]

I did look it up. It was pretty nasty.

He's scum.

Page Six reports that Natalie has been keeping her relationship with Benjamin quiet because he was in a serious relationship of his own when they got together.

“They’ve been dating since the fall, although she told friends that she hasn’t gone public with it because she was waiting to see if things got serious,” a source says. “But the real reason she was quiet about things is that Ben had a live-in girlfriend of three years when they met. She was a ballerina at the American Ballet Theater. She had been talking about marrying him and was blindsided by the split. She moved out right after New Year’s Eve.”

A spokeswoman for Natalie tells the outlet, “We have no comment about her personal life.”

As for the kids coming from a "broken home" better that than lies & deceit.

She is better off without him, she's had 10 years & 2 kids.

It is always interesting to me how people are surprised when a cheater cheats again. It seems to happen more often than not, especially in Hollywood.

I also find it interesting how the women who they cheat with, such as Natalie and Claire Danes, think their love affair is so special, important, beautiful, must be explored, etc. Feeling hopelessly in love doesn't excuse the fact that you are with a cheater. It doesn't make it any less messy or appropriate.

the hat is super ooglay and it is everywhere. my neighbor has it, along with the matching ooglay straw tote.

I think there are serial cheaters and also one-off cheaters. A one-time occurrence isn't necessarily proof of a pattern.

I don't think Crudup cheated on Danes though, she split up with him and got together with her husband shortly after. And he's been with Naomi Watts for a while now and they just got married. No rumors that I know of since the Mary-Louise Parker escándalo, or before for that matter.

^^ Maybe that's why she's about to cry. Or is she holding back vomit?

ETA: in response to czb and ooglay hat.

I think there was more stuff going on with Mary Louise Parker and Billy Crudup that we just don't know about.  And sometimes celebs just have to go with what people are saying because to let any more of it out would make it 10 times worse and basically define your career.  Nowadays, I really like Parker and Crudup both as versatile actors, whereas at the time, I knew almost nothing about them except it was a very messy breakup.  That's definitely one of the downsides about being a famous person.

re: the fugly hat i know she gets paid by dior but she could at least insist on a nicer hat, though i suspect brands want their celebs to wear the shit with big ass labels on it.
