There's no doubt that it's been a challenging time for Natalie Portman and her husband, Benjamin Millepied, as they've recently navigated reports of his alleged affair with a younger woman.
But the couple have also had reason to celebrate amidst the turmoil as June marks what should be cause to celebrate for the pair.
Both Natalie and Benjamin rang in their birthdays this month, with the actress turning 42 on June 9 and the filmmaker marked his 46th the very next day.
While they didn't celebrate publicly, it's likely they had a celebration with their two children, Aleph, 11, and daughter Amalia, six, as they continue to rebuild their marriage.
The affair report broke on June 2 and claimed Benjamin had a short-lived romance with a young French climate activist. The mom-of-two appeared in public surrounded by fellow celebrities several days after the news was reported.

Natalie recently got into a discussion about their lifestyle living in France, when she revealed that they'd made a big family move.
Speaking on Dax Shepard's "Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard" podcast - in an interview likely taped before the affair reports broke - Natalie said. "We actually moved back to Paris recently," which took the host by surprise.

Natalie and Benjamin first moved to Paris in 2014 after the latter became the director of the Paris Opera Ballet and lived there for two years before returning to Los Angeles in 2016.
