Natalie Portman Chats 'Extra' in Palm Springs

January 10, 2011 Celebrity Highlights

A radiant Natalie Portman attended the Palm Springs International Film Festival over the weekend and opened up to "Extra" about her growing baby bump and fiancé Benjamin Millepied.

After keeping mum about her pregnancy and newfound love for months, Portman said she has "Black Swan" director Darren Aronofsky to thank for her happiness and changing figure.

"I told Darren, I was like, first you got me skinny, and now you're getting my fat, because he introduced me to my fiancé," said the actress. "It's the greatest gift he ever gave me."

In addition to Portman, the film festival was a star-studded event full of Golden Globe nominees. Mark Wahlberg, nominated for Best Actor for "The Fighter," spoke with "Extra" about it. "It's always nice when you have a movie that's being recognized in this way, but it's also difficult that I'm away from my family," said Walhberg.
