Over the past week, Natalie Portman has begun to get pap’d regularly. For more than two months after her son Aleph was born, Natalie was not seen at all, not by paparazzi, not even by random eyewitness reports. But I guess she’s happy with her post-pregnancy weight loss, because she’s been showing up around NYC in various outfits, showing off her “snapped back” figure. You can see her in a romper here – and these photos of Natalie in the coat are from yesterday.
Her baby-daddy and lover, the Ballet K-Fed/Benjamin Millepied has been getting pap’d a lot too, so I included some shots of him from the past few days. He always looks like he’s posing! And he always looks like he’s about to break out into a twirl. I wonder… I’ve heard some stuff about Natalie possibly making calls on Benjamin’s behalf, trying to get him work in Hollywood. Do you think that’s true? Does Natalie want her K-Fed to work? Or is he already working too much for her taste?
Natalie recently spoke about how she could easily be “crippled” by her own self-awareness. I thought I was going to roll my eyes, but I know what she’s trying to say: “I’ve tended to be overly self-critical and it’s taken me a while to escape that kind of crippling attitude. You’re constantly putting yourself up there to be judged and trashed. I’ve tried to stop thinking about that, so now I’m much more ready to try different things and be as daring as I possibly can.” She’s basically saying, “Haters are gonna hate.” But, you know, all fancy-like. That’s what a Harvard education buys you!
Meanwhile, Natalie might be lining up a new project – sources claim that she’s in talks to take the lead in an independent film, Adaline, which is about “a woman who was born at the turn of the 20th century. An accident renders her ageless, and after years of a solitary life, she meets a man who may worth giving up her immortality.” Will she try get Millepied the role of the dude? Hahaha.

Her baby daddy is hot
That movie sounds like it might be good.
In that bottom pic, he looks like Pauly Shore.
On to other stuff: when I saw that pic of her, my first thought was “She’s obviously not nursing.” because her girls are so small.
But, am I wrong? I mean, just because my boobs were BIGGER THAN MY BABIES’ HEADS while nursing, well, I guess that could be fogging my judgement a bit!
What’s up with the long sleeve coat? It’s 80 degrees in the Northeast.
Is the movie really gonna be called Adaline?!
I hope this movie is big… for selfish reasons though:
My name is Adelina and people who meet me for the first time can never remeber that name. This movie name would help!
Oh her man Milipied looks completely unpleasent to be around.
He is so KFed, but who can blame him? Gold diggers come in all shapes and sizes.
Do these two live in the same city? She’s dressed as though it’s 50 degrees while he looks ready to hit the shore!!!!
What is it with people wearing coats in the summer?
That last photo looks like he just got a whiff of his own fart.
@ WillyNilly:

LMAO! You guys are priceless.
About Portman wearing coats in the summer…maybe her “territorial bubble” has a different climate than the one in which we, simple peasants, have to live.
I suspect that she’s wearing the coats and baggy outfits because her figure hasn’t snapped back completely. I also guess that’s why she’s been totally out of sight for two months. In light of the comment quoted, I understand.
Maybe she’s nursing, maybe not, but I’m with bellaluna: when my son was born and I was nursing, my boobs were bigger than his head too. Don’t get lost, little buddy!
It’s warm during the day in New York but the temperatures drop into the 60s at night, it’s pretty cool here in the morning and evening (I’m out in the suburbs, there isn’t much of a difference between here and Manhattan). The pictures look like they were taken at night and Portman might be one of those people who easily get cold. I’m one of them, I’m always piling up blankets on top of me in the summer when I sleep if it’s less than 85 degrees out.
Awww, look. They share a cap. He has excellent posture, doesn’t he?
ever occured to some of you that after pregnancy her internal themometer might be out of whack. Ms Portman has too much of an ego to breastfeed her child or maybe she’s medically unable to do so. of course had she chosen to nurse she’d not be able to be fired for it thanks to the likes of Lynn Redgrave who successfully sued CBS for wrongfully terminating her contract on one of their shows because she was nursing her daughter Kelly in her dressing room. granted Natalie did one thing Lynn never did win an academy award though Lynn was as an actress always in her older sister Vanessa’s shadow
If an accident rendered me ageless, I might finally be able to work long enough to afford to retire! A funny yet depressing thought. Perhaps I’m being too self-aware. Maybe Natalie’s right about that stuff – it wears you down.
In the “romper” photos, she’s sporting a pretty typical post pregnancy belly. Her legs look amazing though!
Hey, she could be nursing–not all of us are lucky enough to get pregnancy/nursing cleavage. I breastfed *twins* for 1.5 years and was still wearing the same old bras I wore before conceiving (a bit tighter, but still . . .)! (I should add that I’m not large-breasted to start with, either.) At first I thought it was terribly unfair, but now that the girls are weaned and my gals looks pretty much like they did before, I’ll take it. 🙂
I have little boobs like Natalie Portman and I breastfed my son, but they didn’t get a whole lot bigger. My sister-in-law is breastfeeding and is almost flat as a board. Some of us just never catch a break as far as cleavage size goes. You can’t really tell whether someone is breastfeeding just from looking at them, unless they’re leaking, hah.
It’s not cold enough for a jacket and hasn’t been below the high 60’s at night in NY because Manhattan is always hotter due to the buildings and subways. I tend to get really cold and at night I am still walking around in short sleeves and sandals. She is totally hiding her body.
So….when is the wedding?
Ugh, I hate her. My son is a month older than hers & I have at least 40 lbs to lose… Grr… Of course I don’t have money for a personal trainer or a nanny to watch my lil guy while I work out with said mythical personal trainer.
@20–Doubt it’s going to happen. I never got the impression that he was really into her.
She became so adpet at purging and restricting on the set of Crack Swan, no wonder she snapped right back. If you only comsume 200 calories a day, I mean think about it.
When you have millions and free time how hard can it be. I wonder what blue collar mothers who just gave birth has to say about this?
@the original bellaluna
🙂 my sister has had 3 kids, and with her most recent child her breast stayed relatively small/normal like a small c large b that they were prepregnancy as opposed to the engorged d’s she’d been sporting before even though she strictly breast feeds her babies.
Who cares.. you can still see that she has a pot belly in that romper and she’s got it here in this pic.
@melangie:
Had the same thought. Very strange. I’m in a summer dress in the NE and the weather is so sunny & nice out. 81 deg. She looks really odd.
She doesn’t have a pot belly, she has the pooch that all new mamas have.
@TL ~ I think I said it… lol!
Yeah, I’m on board with the “who can tell if she’s nursing or not?” crowd. She never had large breasts, so why expect them to grow 5 sizes?
Anyway, if she is or not, it’s nobody’s damn business but her own. Bottle-feeding doesn’t mean you hate your kid or are to “egotistical” to breastfeed. As long as the kid is alive and healthy, who cares how it got that way?
^^^THIS^^^
Oscars and Swans be damned, Georgy Girl is the film I re-watch. Keep spending time with your wonderful new baby, he finds you lovely in a way I never will, so let’s just all make each other happy and continue on in the ‘two ships passing in the night’ style to which we’ve become accustomed. ‘Hey there, Natty Po–‘, nope. Stop, bring back Lynn’s version.
I get it that not everybody is into ballet and stuff, but this guy is actually considered a big deal in that world.
Just because he’s not from Hollywood doesn’t mean he’s some sort of lame golddigger.
I don’t know the man personally, of course, so I’m not saying he’s a knight-in-shining-armor but really, it would be nice if people acknowledged you can be a star outside of Hollywood …
Where’s the baby?
i luv them ^^… nice couple!!
