American actress Natalie Portman, who is currently in the final months of her pregnancy, has taken part in a touching maternity photoshoot ahead of the arrival of her third child.

The 45-year-old star shared a photo on Instagram in which she poses beside a balcony wearing an unbuttoned striped shirt directly against her skin. Natalie gently cradles her baby bump with both hands.

In the caption, Portman hinted that she is only days away from meeting her baby.

«Counting the days until we finally meet you», the actress wrote, adding a pink heart emoji.

That very emoji quickly sparked speculation among fans, with many believing it was a subtle hint about the baby’s gender.

Hollywood actress Natalie Portman is preparing to become a mother once again. The 44-year-old star revealed that she is expecting in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar.

The father of the baby is the actress’s boyfriend, 45-year-old musician and producer Tanguy Destable. The couple have been together relatively recently: they were first spotted in Paris in the spring of 2025, a year after Portman’s high-profile divorce from choreographer Benjamin Millepied.

«We are very happy. I feel an indescribable sense of gratitude and understand that this is truly a miracle,» the actress shared.

According to her, the third pregnancy is progressing smoothly, and she feels even better than expected: «I have more energy than I thought I would.»

Natalie also revealed that she is maintaining her fitness through regular Pilates and swimming. As for her cravings, this time they have been limited to tropical fruits — particularly pineapples and melons.

At the same time, the actress admitted that she is deeply aware of how special this moment is. As this will likely be her final experience of motherhood, she hopes to embrace it as consciously as possible.

Portman also explained that motherhood has always been a meaningful topic for her. Her father worked as a reproductive specialist, so she understands how challenging the journey to having a child can be. That is why the news of her pregnancy feels like a true gift to her:

«I grew up hearing stories about the difficulties of conception, and I have many close friends who have gone through serious challenges. It’s an incredibly joyful event, but also a great responsibility.»

As a reminder, Natalie already has two children from her previous marriage — a 14-year-old son, Aleph, and a 9-year-old daughter, Amalia.

The annual Sundance Film Festival 2026 has kicked off in the U.S. state of Utah, celebrating independent cinema from around the world.

A whole constellation of stars arrived to showcase their new film projects, including Natalie Portman, Channing Tatum, Jenna Ortega, Alexander Skarsgård, Olivia Wilde, Chris Pine, Ethan Hawke, Elizabeth Debicki, Taika Waititi, Elijah Wood, Olivia Colman, and many others.

One of the most talked-about premieres was the black comedy The Gallerist, presented at the festival by Natalie Portman and Jenna Ortega. The film offers an ironic take on the behind-the-scenes world of the art business. Portman appeared at the screening in a restrained, elegant look, accompanied not only by Ortega but also by another co-star, singer Charli XCX.
