Natalie Portman has debuted her baby bump a month after revealing she is expecting her third child.
The actress, 44, looked chic in a pleated black dress in Instagram snaps shared from a recent trip on the Orient Express.
Natalie’s bump was on show in her pretty dress which she teamed with a black blazer and sunglasses.
The star gushed that her trip on the luxury train ‘felt like stepping back in time,’ as she shared photos of the journey from her home city of Paris to Cannes, where she is expected to attend the annual Film Festival.
Natalie announced last month that she is pregnant with her third child.
The baby will be the actress’s first with her French partner, Tanguy Destable, a 45-year-old music producer.

Natalie has two children from her previous marriage to choreographer Benjamin Millepied: son Aleph, 14, and daughter Amalia, nine.
The couple split in 2023 and finalised their divorce in 2024.
‘Tanguy and I are very excited,’ she told Harper’s Bazaar of her third pregnancy. ‘I’m just very grateful. I know it’s such a privilege and a miracle.’
The star is the child of a fertility doctor and noted that means she is aware ‘how lucky it is.’
‘I grew up hearing about how hard it is to get pregnant,’ she told the magazine. ‘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.’
The actress added, ‘And so I know how lucky it is. I’m very aware, and I’m very grateful. I have deep appreciation and gratitude.’
‘There is a gratitude that when you’re young, you don’t necessarily grasp,’ she continued of experiencing pregnancy in her forties.

‘And there’s a calm and knowing myself: who I want to spend time with, what kind of energy I want around me that makes the experience so beautiful every day. And knowing it’s probably the last time, I cherish every moment.’
She also said she feels good. ‘I have more energy than I thought I might,’ she said.
Natalie was first linked to her music producer partner in March last year and the pair live together in Paris.
The actress has rarely spoken about her older children or her love life, telling Interview magazine how it has been a conscious decision to protect her private life.
‘I’m not a particularly private person in real life – I’ll tell you anything – but in public, it was so clear early on that if you tell people how private you are, your privacy gets respected a lot more,’ she explained.
The Professional actress added: ‘I set up a little bit of a barrier to be like, “I’m not going to do photo shoots with my kids.”‘
