Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied spotted together amid affair rumors: a revival of their marriage on the cards?

The last few months have been especially challenging for Natalie Portman. Her 12-year-long marriage to Benjamin Millepied, which began on the set of the Oscar-winning film "Black Swan," was called into question after rumors surfaced of his affair with a significantly younger climate activist. As a result, their personal turmoil played out in the public eye.

The 42-year-old actress never publicly confirmed her separation from Mr. Millepied. In a recent interview with "Vanity Fair," she remained relatively guarded about her marital issues. However, she confessed that the amplification of rumors is a daunting experience for her. Interestingly, the day following the interview's publication, she was sighted with her husband.

Photographers were caught unawares when the Hollywood star was spotted around Los Angeles along with Millepied and their two kids: Aleph, aged 13, and Amalia, aged 7. The family was seen heading to lunch at a local restaurant.

In spite of her casual daily look, the star seemed to relish the time spent with her loved ones. Despite her cheery disposition, no signs of affection towards her spouse, previously accused of infidelity, were detected. Even though Millepied's brief dalliance with a French woman nearly 20 years his junior is over, it seems Natalie Portman isn't ready to forget the hurt caused. As of now, she hasn't chosen to wear her wedding ring again.

Do you believe they still have a mutual future ahead of them?
