This separation comes after rumors of Benjamin Millepied's infidelity, published in the tabloid press last spring.

She also played the wife of former President John Kennedy in “Jackie” 2016.

Benjamin Millepied is a dancer and choreographer.

He was notably the dance director of the Paris Opera between 2014 and 2016. The couple has two children.
