Natalie is already the proud parent to son Aleph, who she welcomed in 2011 with Benjamin Millepied - her husband of two years, who she met while filming Black Swan in 2009.

The brunette beauty debuted her baby bump at the Venice Film Festival last month and has been seen blossoming ever since.

In 2012, Natalie and Benjamin tied the knot in an intimate Jewish ceremony, and Benjamin announced he was in the process of converting to Judaism before they moved to Paris.

The V for Vendetta star relocated her family to France in 2014 after Benjamin was made the Paris Opera Ballet's director of dance - but admitted she had struggled to adjust to the culture change.

The Israeli born star but Los Angeles native moved back to the States earlier this year, and said on Jimmy Kimmel Live: 'Everyone smiles a lot here. It's so nice. They're more cool in France. I didn't realise I got used to it until I got here and I was so surprised.'
