Meet Natalie Portman’s Shirtless Boyfriend Benjamin Millepied

See that hot man? That’s Natalie Portman‘s new-ish boyfriend Benjamin Millepied in the new issues of Details. Benjamin is a ballet dancer/choreographer in the New York City Ballet, and first hooked up with Natalie last spring on the set her upcoming ballet-themed drama Black Swan (he choreographed scenes and had a small part as dance partner for Natalie and co-star Mila Kunis). Benjamin reportedly ditched his longtime girlfriend for Natalie (duh, who wouldn’t?) — better him than mountain man Devendra Banhart!

Here’s Benjamin barely concealing his NatPort love in the Details article:

“I really, really got into it,” Millepied says. “You’re standing up next to those actors, like Natalie, and you’re like, ‘Fuck.’ ” Fresh awe fills his face. “I was blown away—especially by Natalie, who was amazing to watch.”

That statement, and the sunrise glow on Millepied’s face when he makes it, are organic proof that he and Portman are happily dating. The tabloids haven’t cut the culture crowd’s It couple any slack. In January the New York Post insinuated that Portman was a home wrecker because Millepied was rumored to still be living with his ballerina girlfriend Isabella Boylston when he and Portman got together. Predictably, the two have been stalked by paparazzi, both in New York and during Millepied’s trips to Los Angeles. “It’s . . . everybody’s asking us,” he says. “We just want to keep things to ourselves.”

What do you think? Is Benjamin the next Baryshnikov?
