BUZZ: Natalie Portman all smiles during solo outing amid Benjamin Millepied’s alleged affair

Natalie Portman is flying solo.

The actress was all smiles while out and about in Paris, France, on Saturday, just days after husband Benjamin Millepied’s alleged cheating scandal surfaced.

Portman, 41, appeared to be in high spirits while watching a soccer match between Paris Saint-Germain and Clermont Foot 63 at the Parc des Princes stadium.

The “No Strings Attached” star was seen cheering in the stands while rocking a crisp white button down, jeans, a plaid blazer, dark shades and bold red lipstick.

Portman was even seen laughing with other attendees and snapping pictures of the match on her phone.

The outing came two days after news broke that her husband, 45, allegedly had an affair with a 25-year-old woman.

Earlier this week, Page Six reported that the pair were battling to save their marriage after Portman discovered Millepied’s dalliance with a young climate activist named Camille Étienne.

Sources told us that the couple, who said “I do” in 2012, separated last year but managed to work through their relationship troubles.

“They have not split and are trying to work things out. Ben is doing everything he can to get Natalie to forgive him. He loves her and their family,” an insider dished.

The source added that Portman is “incredibly private” and “her biggest focus right now is protecting the kids,” referencing son Aleph, 12, and daughter Amalia, 6.

The couple looked loved-up at a Beyoncé concert on May 26, and were even seen packing on the PDA in the French capital a few days later. However, Voici magazine published images of Millepied and Étienne meeting up in his office on May 24.

“In early March, the star of the ‘Star Wars’ saga discovered that her husband was having an affair with a young woman,” the French magazine alleged.

The outlet also ran images of the choreographer and Étienne entering his office separately, then leaving the building 10 minutes apart almost two hours later.

Etienne is a friend of eco superstar Greta Thunberg, and has even penned a book titled “For an Ecological Uprising: Overcoming Our Collective Powerlessness.”

Portman and Millepied met in 2009 on the set of her Oscar-winning flick “Black Swan,” for which he was the choreographer.

He popped the question in 2010 and they got married in Big Sur, Calif., in 2012.

Portman was pregnant with their eldest child when she accepted her Best Actress award for the famed ballet film in 2011.

“To my beautiful love, Benjamin Millepied, who choreographed the film and has now given me my most important role of my life,” she gushed at the time, pointing to her stomach.

A rep for Portman and Millepied declined to comment when contacted by Page Six. Étienne did not respond to our request for comment.
