A newly-made bachelorette. Natalie Portman was spotted on a "date" with a 14-year-old actor

Hollywood actress Natalie Portman, 42, was spotted in the company of her 28-year-old colleague Paul Mescal. The couple stirred up the Internet after the paparazzi published a photo of the stars – they went for a smoke break near the London bar 69 Colebrooke Row, smiling and chatting.

The photos were published by the British newspaper Daily Mail and can be found here. The celebrities wore casual outfits. Portman wore a white T-shirt and blue jeans, while Mescal also wore a light T-shirt, pairing it with dark classic pants.

The meeting of the actors aroused curiosity among netizens. Fans suggested that the celebrities might have more than just a friendly relationship. The rumors emerged against the backdrop of Portman's divorce: in March 2024, the star finally broke up with French choreographer Benjamin Milpierre.

The couple had been together for 11 years. The reason was her husband's infidelity – the dancer was caught with a 25-year-old mistress. Initially, Portman and Milpierre decided not to separate because of their children, but later the actress filed for divorce.

As you know, Paul and Natalie "got together" after a joint interview for Variety, which was recorded about six months ago. During the conversation, Mescal described the actress as "brilliant" and confessed: "If I had known in theater school that I would be talking to you, I would have pinched myself many, many times!"

In addition, the 28-year-old Irishman praised Portman for her steamy scene in May, December. While Natalie complimented the young star for his scene with actor Andrew Scott in "All of Us Strangers," saying they were "very hot, but also very tender." The stars have not officially commented on the rumors, but according to media reports, this is not their first one-on-one meeting.
