Portman and Millepied married in August 2012 and share two children together, 12-year-old son, Aleph, and seven-year-old daughter, Amalia.
They met on the set of Black Swan, for which Portman won the Oscar for Best Actress. Millepied, a former member of the New York City Ballet, served as the film's choreographer, teaching Portman to dance for the role.
His most recent project was choreographing the 'sandwalk' scene between Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya in Dune: Part Two.
Last year rumours circulated about the couple's marriage, after the actress was seen not wearing her wedding ring in public.
Speaking to Vanity Fair for last month's 'Hollywood issue,' Portman was asked about the speculation over her marriage in the lead up to the release of the Oscar-nominated May December.
The actress commented: "It’s terrible, and I have no desire to contribute to it."
Meanwhile, in January it was reported that Portman had joined the cast of Guy Ritchie's latest movie Fountain of Youth alongside John Krasinski.
