As news was breaking that Natalie Portman’s husband of 11 years had an extramarital affair, the Black Swan actor was toning up at a Bondi pilates studio.

Sunday Confidential can reveal Portman has been frequenting cult pilates studio Body by Berner in recent weeks — perhaps working on her revenge body.

The Oscar-winning actor was without her wedding and engagement rings when taking part in a group session at the studio, which has also been attended by singer Rita Ora.

Portman was also sighted taking a solo stroll along Sydney Harbour last week ahead of her appearance at the Opera House to support the US Women’s Soccer League team she co-founded, Angel City FC.

Portman, who lived in Australia with her family to film Thor: Love and Thunder for several months in 2020 and 2021, was very “low-key” when she attended the pilates studio.

“She seems very down to earth,” one insider said.

The Seven Group chief executive and wife welcomed daughter Vivienne in March 2019, and their second child, son Rafferty Kerry Campbell Stokes, in June 2021.

The growing family live in the exclusive suburb Darling Point, after buying a $16 million Federation residence back in 2017.

Stokes is the son of Seven West boss Kerry Stokes, who has a reported net worth of $3.3 billion. Claire’s family founded the iconic Queensland shoe chain Maryon’s.

The couple tied the knot in a lavish society wedding on Sydney’s Garden Island in December 2016.

Vivienne, Rafferty and the unborn baby are heirs to the Seven Group empire, along with Ryan’s brother’s daughter Victoria.

VALENTINA WILL BE BACK

“I like that it reminds me a lot of where I’m from,” the Argentinian model told Sunday Confidential.

“I could see myself visiting more often for extended stays.”

The mother of one, who has a child with and is married to global superstar and the “Prince of Reggaeton” J. Balvin, had never visited the country, despite having an Aussie business partner.

Ferrer and Sarah Davey co-own wellness brand Kapowder.

The company was created after the women wanted “make others feel like a million bucks”.
