Actress Natalie Portman has given birth to a baby boy fathered by a choreographer she met while she filmed her Oscar-winning role in Black Swan, People magazine reported on Tuesday.
The report did not say where or when the birth took place, and there was no immediate comment from Portman’s publicist.
Portman, who turned 30 last Thursday, announced in December that she was pregnant and planned to marry her boyfriend, French ballet dancer and choreographer Benjamin Millepied.
The two worked together on Black Swan, in which Portman played a self-mutilating ballerina. She won the Academy Award for her performance in February.
The Israeli-born, New York-raised actress rose to fame playing the preteen protégé of a hitman in The Professional, and appeared in the Star Wars reboots as Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia’s mother. She was most recently in theatres with the romantic comedy No Strings Attached.

Sean Bean gets into pub scuffle, stabbed in arm
London: British actor Sean Bean has reportedly been stabbed in the arm with broken glass after a scuffle outside a London pub. The 52-year-old was in Camden, north London, when the incident happened June 11 and is thought to have occurred after a scuffle with another man who started commenting about glamour model April Summers.
The Silent Hill star was at the Hill Bar and Brasserie smoking outside when a passer-by began making comments about April, real name Nadia Foster, and Sean followed the man down the road to challenge him. Later when Sean went out for another cigarette, the man returned and stabbed him in the arm with a broken glass, and also punched him in the face. However, he refused hospital treatment and returned to the bar afterwards.
It is not known if April is his new girlfriend, following his split from his fourth wife Georgina Sutcliffe in December 2010 after two years of marriage.
