Natalie Portman & Benjamin Millepied secretly married?

The pair showed off what looked like silver wedding bands at yesterday's Academy Awards ceremony

She debuted a glittering engagement ring on the Oscars red carpet last year, and yesterday Natalie Portman sparked rumours she has secretly married her choreographer fiancé Benjamin Millipied, after showing off a new addition to her wedding ring finger.

We’re ashamed to admit that, at first, we were so enamoured with Ms Portman’s vintage scarlet Dior Couture gown, that we failed to notice the new sparkler completely.

Look again, and there appears to be a new diamond band, nestling next to Natalie’s whopping hand-designed, eco-friendly engagement rock.

And that’s not all. Natalie’s dancer fiancé Benjamin Millipied was also sporting an unexplained silver ring on his engagement finger, too.

So have they married already?

The private pair have only been spied out and about together a handful of times since their Oscar appearance last year, so it would come as no surprise if the couple had tied the knot in secret.

Last year, the pregnant actress, who met Benjamin on the set of Oscar-winning movie Black Swan, paid tribute to her 'beautiful love' during a gushing Best Actress acceptance.

The couple welcomed their first child, baby Aleph, in June.

Do you think Natalie and Benjamin have tied the knot already? Let us know in the comments box below…
