“The best birthday week ever—thanks for all the birthday wishes and to Italy for being the greatest,” the Star Wars alum wrote in her caption.
In April, Portman revealed that she’s expecting her third child, and her first with partner Tanguy Destable.
“Tanguy and I are very excited,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “I’m just very grateful. I know it’s such a privilege and a miracle.” A rep for Portman later confirmed the news to InStyle.

Because her mom is a fertility doctor, Portman said that she has a greater appreciation for being able to conceive.
“I grew up hearing about how hard it is to get pregnant,” Portman said. “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.”

“And so I know how lucky it is,” she added. “I’m very aware, and I’m very grateful. I have deep appreciation and gratitude.”
Portman also shares a son, 15-year-old Aleph, and a daughter Amalia, 9, with her ex-husband, Benjamin Millepied. She and the choreographer married in 2012, divorcing over a decade later in 2024.
