It’s a very rare picture that actress Natalie Portman offered to her millions of followers on Instagram on Tuesday. Usually very discreet about her private life, the actress has published a photo showing her two children, Aleph and Amalia. It shows Natalie Portman holding her baby daughter in her hands as she hugs her son.
A picture that dates back to when her daughter was three years old and her son was about to turn nine. Of course, the heroine of “Black Swan” was careful to preserve her children’s anonymity by not showing their faces. Without a caption, she simply states that the photo was taken by her companion, the French dancer Benjamin Millepied.
Very quickly, the photo collected several hundreds of thousands of likes, and comments from Xavier Dolan or Lily-Rose Depp.
Already this weekend, while the United States was celebrating motherhood, Natalie Portman unveiled a photo with hers on Instagram. A picture was taken on a red carpet, with a very strong caption.
“My first blessing in life was to be born to my mom. She is the most loving, caring, generous, cuddly, funny, smart, talented, creative person I could ever imagine getting to spend my childhood with. And now I’m blessed by my kids who turned me into a mom and make me smile and laugh every single day — and who make me appreciate my mom even more for all the invisible things she did for me that I realize now as I try to live up to her mothering.”
