When is the best time to publicly speculate that a woman is pregnant, mainly based on her physical appearance? Never. The answer is never.
Natalie Portman the subject of such rumors was discovered on Thursday, February 4, in a Page Six report that included paparazzi photos of the Oscar-winning actress wearing a dark top while walking through Sydney, where she is filming Thor: love and thunder.
“Hey, so I’m not totally pregnant …” Portman, 39, wrote on Friday, February 5 in a rare Instagram Story post, “… but apparently it’s still okay in 2021 for someone to speculate and comment on a woman’s body shape whenever they want? Make it better @nypost. “
The actress, who shares son Aleph, 9 and daughter Amalia, 3, with husband Benjamin Millipiedhas occasionally been the subject of pregnancy rumors in the press in recent years. The same happened with many other celebrities.
And while many of them ended up confirming that they were really waiting, many made a point of publicly denying the rumors.
