Natalie Portman, 44, announced on Friday that she is pregnant with her third child.
The father is her partner, the French music producer Tanguy Destable.
‘Tanguy and I are very excited,’ she shared with Harper’s Bazaar. ‘I’m just very grateful. I know it’s such a privilege and a miracle.’
Portman is the child of a fertility doctor. ‘I grew up hearing about how hard it is to get pregnant,’ she noted.
‘I have so many people I love who’ve had such a hard time with it that I want to be respectful around that as well. It’s such a beautiful, joyous thing, and it’s also not an easy thing.’

The Black Swan actress added, ‘And so I know how lucky it is. I’m very aware, and I’m very grateful. I have deep appreciation and gratitude.’
She has two children from her previous marriage to choreographer Benjamin Millepied: son Aleph, 14, and daughter Amalia, 9.
‘There is a gratitude that when you’re young, you don’t necessarily grasp,’ she shared.
‘And there’s a calm and knowing myself: who I want to spend time with, what kind of energy I want around me that makes the experience so beautiful every day. And knowing it’s probably the last time, I cherish every moment.’
She also said she feels good. ‘I have more energy than I thought I might,’ she said.
The Hollywood star added she is swimming and doing gyrotonics to ‘keep strong’ and spending lots of time with her kids, ‘which is always the best.’
