NATALIE PORTMAN didn’t exactly look like a woman scorned while attending the French Open in Paris on June 7. Just five days after the French outlet Voici reported that her husband of 10 years, Benjamin Millepied, had an affair with a 25-year-old woman named Camille Etienne, Natalie — decked out in a flowery minidress, Dior sun hat and chic black shades — smiled and clapped as she gamely watched a tennis match. “She’s still wearing her wedding ring and making appearances like everything is under control,” a source tells Star. “Publicly, she’s trying to keep her head up.”
Behind closed doors, it’s a different story. Natalie is said to be reeling over the rumored infidelity as shocking new details — including photos linking the dancer to the much younger woman — continue to emerge. “Her heart has been ripped out,” says the source. (The Thor: Love and Thunder actress, 42, shares son Aleph, 12, and daughter Amalia, 6, with Benjamin.) Now Natalie is “desperately clinging to the hope that her marriage can be saved,” reveals the source, but those around her aren’t so sure she and the 46-year-old can recover from his alleged fling. “As the saying goes, cheating is only a symptom of something wrong in the marriage,” the source says. “Natalie could be in for a long and brutal divorce battle.”
