Sorry guys -- Natalie Portman is officially off the market. The beautiful Oscar-winner tied the knot on Saturday night with her fiancé of two years, French dancer and choreographer Benjamin Millepied, a source confirmed for People.

Portman, 31, met Millepied, 35, on the set of "Black Swan," where he was a choreographer. In December 2010, the couple announced they were engaged and expecting their first child. Their son, Aleph, is now 14 months old.

We're happy for Natalie, who's been brimming with happiness since the day she announced her engagement. But we have to wonder ... can a Hollywood marriage even last? Especially when she is so much more famous than he is?

It's best when people don't hear about it. Celebrity marriages are more likely to be ruined when they're overexposed to the public eyes.

No

Because a lot of marriages end up in divorce.

Beautiful lady and a good actress but I like her a bit less because of this. Got involved with someone who was already involved with another.

Yes,it can work but it's alot of work on both partners,but if you truely love that person you will think of them before yourself,your wife or husband feelings come before your's. True "Love" is not selfish and it doesn't hurt!!

The baby came before the marriage - he's 14 months old.

I hear you. :) If I didn't hear all about this stuff on here, I would never know anything about any of them - nor would I care.

No

especially when the woman is so opinionated that no one elses voice matters...but her own...of course that is true both ways but specifically with Nat..

No

No hollywood marriage lasts forever because they rush into marriage too fast and then divorce within a two years tops. Most of them just marry for publicity and media attention. A hollywood marriage is nothing like normal people who get married. However, I do wish Natalie and her new hubby the best of luck in the future.

I like to be optimistic, but you realize Hollywood is a Den of Iniquity, the land of immorality. I think most don't marry that way no commitment when you decide to get sleazy and jump another persons bones its less messy, that's the Hollywood way.

It worked for Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward. Why not?

reply
Linnster to R 2012/08/06 21:27:00

Joanne Woodward has said that she was able to make her marriage work because she gave up acting. It's harder when both are in the same business.

Sure it can -- I think it's a little harder when people work very hard and travel all around the world, but this isn't specific to Hollywood.

It's rare, but it can happen. On another note, does anyone else find a dancer with the last name Millepied hilarious? No? Just me? Okay.

Most Hollywood marriages don't. They are a rarity. I hope I am proved wrong.

I assume two people from Hollywood can fall in love and have a lasting marriage. Hollywood is a place.... you are telling me all people in a specific location can not have a lasting marriage? I guess I wont move to Hollywood so my marriage will last.....

No

I have no idea - but surely that can't be his real name can it ????

A dancer who's name (when translated) is MILLIPEDE? -

The dance of a thousand feet - interesting...
