Insiders claimed Natalie is preparing to file for divorce despite trying to “make it work” after her estranged spouse was accused of cheating with a climate activist 21 years her junior.

The actress apparently confirmed the end of her 11-year marriage to the 46-year-old choreographer in an interview with WSJ Magazine.

She kept quiet about him while revealing that she lives in Paris with her two children.

The apparent admission came just days after she flew solo at the Golden Globes and just weeks after she was pictured again without her wedding ring.

The actress has reportedly been taking time to process and heal from the divorce and is trying to figure out how best to handle the divorce of her children Aleph, 12, and daughter Amalia, 6, before officially filing for divorce.

“Natalie and Benjamin tried to make it work, but she just couldn't get over the fact that he cheated on her,” an insider told exclusively.

“A divorce is in the works but nothing has been filed yet.” However, they are separated and she lives in Paris while Benjamin continues to work in the US.'

Meanwhile, she made headlines last month when she hugged Rihanna at a fashion show. The two appeared to be close friends.
