Natalie Portman Gives Birth to Baby No. 3, First With Tanguy Destable

For the Thor actress, life in Paris has been trés sweet. “There’s a calm and knowing myself: who I want to spend time with, what kind of energy I want around that makes the experience so beautiful every day,” she detailed to Harper’s Bazaar. And knowing this pregnancy is likely her last, she added, “I cherish every moment.”  

That means, “I try and do some kind of physical activity every day,” Portman recently Elle. “I either swim or walk, and do gyrotonics. I’m still vegan. I take lots of vitamins. I try and sleep as much as possible.”

And she’s found the silver lining in having to avoid certain beverages. “Being pregnant is almost like a cleanse because you don’t drink and can’t have caffeine,” Portman shared. “So I’m like, ‘Wow, I’ve never been cleaner in my life.’”

But while she’s sticking to those guidelines, she hasn’t stressed herself out over brushing up on baby books. “You figure it out,” she reasoned to Harper’s Bazaar. “We’re going to make lots of mistakes, no matter how hard we try. And also, we’re going to do a lot right without having to do research. I feel like if you’re just present and loving, that’s the best thing possible.”
