Natalie Portman is loving life in Paris!
The actress, 44, is content in the City of Light while awaiting her first baby with partner Tanguy Destable, a source tells PEOPLE.
"She has a normal Parisian life. Her French is good and confident and shows how comfortable she has become here," an industry source says
Portman lives in the French city with her two children, Aleph, 13, and Amalia, 9, whom she shares with ex-husband Benjamin Millepied. She and the French director moved there in 2014 after he accepted a job as the director of the Paris Opera Ballet.

The insider says Portman “decided to stay here for her children's education and built herself a new life around them and her businesses since her divorce from Benjamin. And the result is that she's fallen in love with Paris.”
The Thor: Love and Thunder actress announced that she's expecting her third child in an April 17 interview with Harper's Bazaar.
"Tanguy and I are very excited,” she said. “I'm just very grateful. I know it's such a privilege and a miracle.”

The Oscar winner and the French musician were spotted at the restaurant Paulownia in Paris one week before she revealed her pregnancy. The couple sat across from each other and held hands at a table outside the Parisian restaurant, where they were joined by Destable's mother.
PEOPLE confirmed Portman's romance with Destable in March 2025 after they were linked by French outlet Voici. The news came one year after she finalized her divorce from Millepied.
Another source tells PEOPLE, "Tanguy is very respected in the music scene. He's low-key as well. Friends describe him as no drama."

Portman previously opened up about raising her kids in Paris in an interview with Net-a-Porter in May 2025.
"I find the people here are actually incredibly friendly – you just have to know how to interact, so that we're not the ones being rude,” she told the outlet. “Now, when I go back to the U.S., I'm like, ‘Oh,' I would go into a store and not say hello to everyone there? It's weird.”
The Black Swan star also noted that people in Paris are “very good at privacy," saying, "I feel like the biggest compliment is ‘elle est très discrète' [‘she is very discreet']."
