Natalie Portman has divorced her husband of 11 years, Benjamin Millepied.

The Star Wars actress filed for divorce eight months ago and the proceedings have now been finalised in France, where they lived, People Magazine reported.

The couple share two children.

Their separation came after Millepied, a director and choreographer, faced allegations of infidelity last year.

He and Portman, 42, declined to comment publicly on the matter.

Two months after the allegation surfaced, they were spotted watching the Women’s Football World Cup final together in Sydney.

Last month, Portman addressed rumours about her marriage in an interview with Vanity Fair. She told the US publication that the speculation “is terrible, and I have no desire to contribute to it”.
