Natalie Portman Thanks Fiancé During Golden Globe Win

Natalie Portman is apparently done with being secretive about her pregnancy and her new fiance, Benjamin Millepied. The actress took valuable time out of her Golden Globe acceptance speech Sunday night to draw Millepied into the spotlight as she thanked him.

After thanking both of her parents, and her grandmother Bernice in Cincinatti, she came around to her future husband.

"Thank you to Benjamin for helping me with this creation of creating more life," she said. Portman explained to Black Swan audiences that they might remember him from the film. "He's the guy they ask 'Would you sleep with that girl?' and he says 'No.' He's the best actor it's totally not true, he really wants to sleep with me."

Portman wore a pink Viktor & Rolf gown to the ceremony. It was embellished with red beading in the shape of a rose, and it was the first outfit she's worn in public that shows her growing baby bump.

This was Portman's second Golden Globe win. She won a Best Supporting Actress award in 2005 for her role in Closer.

Natalie Portman Dishes On "Black Swan" Weight Loss

Natalie Portman had to live the "monastic" life of a ballet dancer to prepare for her latest film Black Swan, and she endured plenty of physical hardship to get into the right state of mind.

She explained: "The physical discipline of it really helped for the emotional side of the character because you get the sense of the monastic lifestyle of only working out, that is a ballet dancer's life. "You don't drink, you don't go out with your friends, you don't have much food and you are constantly putting your body through extreme pain, so you get that understanding of the self-flagellation of a ballet dancer."

Natalie who stars as The Swan Queen opposite Mila Kunis as The Black Swan in the film found it hardest to stick to her ultra-strict diet.

The film's director Darren Aronofsky said: "There was really no money for the film and we had to push it back a lot of times. I actually don't mind that, but I only found out recently that Natalie would just be screaming at her manager that she had to live on carrots and almonds for another three weeks. She was the one who suffered the most from not eating."

Natalie added that as soon as the film had finished shooting she ate pasta "for breakfast, lunch and dinner" to celebrate.
