Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied
Benjamin Millepied has said that he and wife Natalie Portman are looking forward to their move to France.
Millepied has been named as the director of the Paris Opera Ballet and this new job is what has prompted the move.
The ballet dancer believes that there is going to be a lot to discover in the country as well as the city of Paris where they will be living.
Speaking to The Time newspaper he said: "We are very excited about moving. Natalie will pursue work opportunities in Europe, and we'll be living in the city that welcomes the most art, at least in dance. There is going to be a lot to discover."
The Oscar winning actress is also looking forward to the move and joked that she should add an 'h' to the spelling of her first name to make her sound more French.
"I don't have the French nationality, but I would be love to get it. But I don't know if it's possible because I already have an American and an Israeli passport ...
"Perhaps I should add an 'h' to my name to make it sound more French [Nathalie]? My father named me after a song by Gilbert Bécaud. I grew up in a very Francophile atmosphere."
Portman and Millepied met on the set of Black Swan; Portman took on the lead role while Millepied was a choreographer.
Portman gave birth to the couple's first child Aleph back in June 2011.
