Natalie Portman shares heartfelt pregnancy update …

Natalie Portman has delighted fans with a rare and heartfelt pregnancy update as she enters the final weeks before welcoming her third child. The Oscar-winning actress took to Instagram to share a beautiful photo of her growing baby bump, accompanied by a simple but emotional message that reflected her excitement for the journey ahead. 

In the touching post, Portman posed in an oversized blue striped shirt while gently cradling her bare baby bump. Alongside the image, she wrote, “Counting the days until we meet you,” expressing her anticipation as her due date approaches. The intimate portrait, captured by photographer Shelby Duncan, quickly received an outpouring of love from fans and fellow celebrities, many of whom congratulated the actress on the next chapter of her life. 

This will be Portman’s third child and her first with French music producer Tanguy Destable, also known professionally as Tepr. The couple has been together since 2025 and currently lives in Paris. Portman is already a proud mother to son Aleph and daughter Amalia, whom she shares with her former husband, choreographer Benjamin Millepied. 

The actress first announced her pregnancy in April during an interview with Harper’s Bazaar. At the time, she described the experience as “a privilege and a miracle,” while acknowledging that she is especially grateful after witnessing how difficult pregnancy can be for many families. As the daughter of a fertility doctor, Portman said she has long understood the emotional challenges that often accompany the journey to parenthood. 

Portman has also spoken about how this pregnancy feels different from her previous ones. Now in her mid-40s, she says she approaches motherhood with greater calm, patience and appreciation. She has been enjoying a quieter lifestyle in Paris, spending time with her children, staying active through swimming and gyrotonics, and embracing the slower pace of everyday family life. 

Although the actress has largely stayed away from social media throughout her pregnancy, her latest post offered fans a rare glimpse into this special period of her life. Many praised the photo for its natural and understated beauty, while others admired Portman’s openness about cherishing what she has suggested may be her final pregnancy. 

As Natalie Portman prepares to welcome her newest family member, her latest update reflects a mix of gratitude, excitement and quiet anticipation. While she continues to keep much of her private life out of the spotlight, this heartfelt glimpse into her final weeks of pregnancy has resonated with fans around the world, who are eagerly joining her in counting down the days until her baby’s arrival.

    India denies role in Sheikh Hasina’s planned vir…

    NEW DELHI: India has firmly denied any government involvement in a virtual address that former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is expected to deliver to mark two years since the political uprising that forced her from office. The clarification came after reports suggested that the online event, scheduled to be held in New Delhi, had official backing. India’s Ministry of External Affairs rejected those claims, insisting the government has no connection with the programme. Speaking at a weekly press briefing on Tuesday, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said the event was being organised by a private media organisation and not by the Indian government. “The Government of India has no role in organising this event,” Jaiswal said. He added that New Delhi neither endorses nor supports the views that may be expressed during the programme. The statement comes amid heightened political sensitivity surrounding Sheikh Hasina, who has been living in self-imposed exile in India since her government was toppled following student-led protests in 2024. According to media reports, the 78-year-old former premier is expected to make her first public appearance since leaving Bangladesh, addressing supporters and viewers via video link from New Delhi. The event is being hosted by the Foreign Correspondents Club of South Asia. Her son, Sajeeb Wazed Joy, is also expected to participate alongside other speakers. Meanwhile, authorities in Dhaka have reportedly instructed local media outlets not to broadcast or provide live coverage of Hasina’s virtual speech. The move reflects the continuing political tensions surrounding the former prime minister and her Awami League. Sheikh Hasina remains one of the most influential and controversial figures in Bangladesh’s recent political history. After losing power, she was convicted in 2025 on charges of crimes against humanity linked to a crackdown on anti-government protesters. A court sentenced her to death, a verdict she has rejected as politically motivated and legally invalid. Her planned address is expected to draw significant attention across South Asia, with supporters viewing it as a symbolic return to the political spotlight, while critics see it as another chapter in Bangladesh’s ongoing political divide. India’s latest statement appears aimed at distancing itself from any perception of official involvement, as New Delhi seeks to avoid diplomatic friction with Dhaka while continuing to host the former Bangladeshi leader. With regional attention focused on the event, Sheikh Hasina’s speech is likely to reignite debate over Bangladesh’s political future and her possible role in it.

    Harry Potter fans save Dobby’s grave from power cable

    Harry Potter fans have successfully pushed for a major power infrastructure project in Wales to be moved away from the memorial site known as Dobby’s grave. The $581 million Greenlink interconnector is being developed to connect the electricity networks of the United Kingdom and Ireland. The project aims to help both countries share surplus renewable energy. The original route of the underground cable was planned to pass close to the memorial for Dobby, the beloved house elf from the Harry Potter series. The memorial is located on a beach in Pembrokeshire. It became a popular destination for fans after the area was used to film Dobby’s death scene in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1. Fans regularly visit the site to pay tribute to the fictional character. Many leave stones with personal messages and tributes. Socks were also commonly left at the memorial, reflecting Dobby’s connection with the item in the Harry Potter story, but environmental authorities have asked visitors to stop leaving them. The proposed power cable route triggered a strong reaction among Harry Potter fans. Project manager Simon Ludlam said his team received hundreds of calls after details of the planned route became known. Ludlam initially did not understand why the location had caused such concern. He said a colleague eventually explained the significance of the site and the emotional attachment fans had developed to Dobby’s grave. Following discussions, the project team decided to alter the planned route. Ludlam said engineers worked on a new alignment to ensure that the cable would not pass close to the memorial. The revised route has now allowed the project to proceed without directly affecting the popular tourist site. However, the new alignment has raised another issue. It passes relatively close to a potential Bronze Age burial site. Planning documents from local authorities had identified archaeological remains in the area. An archaeological investigation reportedly found the remains of an inverted pottery vessel believed to resemble a Bronze Age collared urn. The vessel has been dated to approximately 1700 to 1500 BC. Such urns are commonly associated with burial sites and may indicate the presence of human remains. The situation has highlighted the challenge of balancing major infrastructure projects with cultural, historical and tourism interests. Local residents have also welcomed the decision to protect the Dobby memorial. The site attracts visitors from across the world and has become an important tourism attraction in Pembrokeshire. Local resident Jack Nicholas said visitors had travelled from countries including Italy, Australia and South Africa to see the memorial. He said the attraction brings tourists to one of Pembrokeshire’s notable beaches and helps nearby businesses. Tourism is a major part of the local economy. Pembrokeshire County Council estimates that the sector contributes around $815 million to the economy and supports about 23% of local employment.

    Meghan Markle’s financial reality comes under sc…

    Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s surprise return to the UK has sparked fresh questions about their financial future, particularly the fate of their lavish Montecito home. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are reportedly moving back to Britain with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, after six years in California. However, the couple are not currently planning to give up their American base. Several reports say they intend to keep their Montecito mansion, which they purchased for about $14.7 million in 2020. (People.com⁠) Despite those reports, speculation about a possible sale has intensified. A recent New York Post report claimed the Sussexes could eventually consider putting the property on the market because of its enormous running costs. The nine-bedroom estate reportedly carries more than $600,000 a year in mortgage payments and property taxes alone, before insurance, security and maintenance are added. Some local real-estate estimates suggest the property could now be worth considerably more than the couple originally paid. (New York Post⁠) The reports come as Harry and Meghan prepare for a major lifestyle change. Their children are expected to attend school in the UK, while the couple will establish a private British home. At the same time, they are expected to retain their California property and their vacation home in Portugal. (AP News⁠) That means the family could potentially be maintaining three properties across two countries. Financial pressure has therefore become part of the conversation surrounding their relocation. Page Six reported that the couple’s annual expenses could reach around $6 million, including staff, security, mortgages and other lifestyle costs. The publication also reported that their previous major entertainment deals have become less lucrative, with Spotify no longer involved and Netflix’s relationship reportedly reduced. (Page Six⁠) However, it is important to separate confirmed information from speculation. There is currently no confirmed public listing showing that the Montecito mansion is officially for sale. In fact, TMZ reported that the couple plans to keep the California property despite their UK move. People has similarly reported that the Sussexes intend to retain the mansion. (TMZ⁠) Another property has faced more direct sale speculation. In early August, The News reported claims that Harry and Meghan could consider selling their Portuguese retreat because of its ongoing costs. Those claims were based on unnamed sources and have not been independently confirmed by the couple. (thenews.com.pk⁠) For Meghan, the situation highlights the challenge of maintaining an expensive international lifestyle while building new income streams. Her As Ever brand remains an important part of her business plans, while Harry continues his charitable work. For now, the Montecito mansion remains in the Sussexes’ hands. Whether it eventually becomes “the one on the chopping block” remains uncertain, but their return to Britain has undoubtedly placed their property portfolio and finances under a much brighter spotlight.

    Norris takes pole in Hungary as Hamilton penalty d…

    McLaren’s Lando Norris took his first grand prix pole position of the season in Hungary, but Lewis Hamilton was denied the chance to make it an all-British front row by a three-place penalty for impeding. Norris beat Hamilton by just 0.012 seconds with the very last lap of the session, securing pole in the upgraded McLaren. The seven-time champion had been fastest on the first runs, by just over 0.1 seconds from Norris, but neither he nor teammate Charles Leclerc could improve on their final attempts. However, Hamilton’s penalty for blocking Norris’s teammate Oscar Piastri dropped him to fifth, promoting Leclerc to second on the grid. Piastri moves up to fourth, while Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli will start third, with George Russell seventh. The chaotic end to the session was caused by a spin at the final corner by Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, which affected Antonelli and Russell, forcing them to slow. Verstappen had got going again before Norris came around as the last driver on track to clinch pole. Norris said: “Very happy to be back on top, especially at a track where you certainly want to be on pole. I had confidence the whole of today. My laps were good.” All the drivers were battling with a Hungaroring track surface that was breaking up, especially in the final two corners, where Norris said it was especially difficult to judge the grip level. Even before the incident with Verstappen, Russell was afflicted on his final run by a water leak, which was spraying water on to his rear tyres. Mercedes asked him to pull over immediately after crossing the line, and he parked at Turn One, in an attempt to avoid damaging the engine. Antonelli said: “I think we were just slightly out of the window with tyres, then in Q3 we did a good step and the car just felt finally a bit more alive. For sure it was a shame with the yellow flags, but it happens. P3 was on the table today but still not good enough for pole.” The Hungarian Grand Prix promises to be an exciting race, with Norris on pole and Leclerc alongside him on the front row. Hamilton’s penalty has disrupted the grid, but the seven-time champion will be looking to fight his way through the field. The race will be a test of strategy and tyre management, with the track surface likely to play a significant role in the outcome. Fans are eagerly anticipating the action, with the Hungaroring historically producing exciting races. The battle between Norris, Hamilton, and the rest of the field is set to be a thrilling contest, with the championship implications adding to the drama. As the race weekend unfolds, the focus will be on whether Norris can convert his pole position into a victory, or whether Hamilton and the others can challenge for the top step of the podium. The Hungarian Grand Prix promises to be a highlight of the Formula 1 season, with the drivers and teams ready to put on a show for the fans.
