NATALIE Portman — who has officially divorced ballet dancer Benjamin Millepied following his extramarit­al affair — is having a “phoenix moment.”

A pal of the actress said that, having rid herself of her philanderi­ng husband, she “looks incredible and is feeling great.”

The friend mentioned that the Oscar winner has been “killing the red carpet” for her Netflix hit “May December” and was on the cover of Vanity Fair’s annual Hollywood issue along with Bradley Cooper, Lily Gladstone, Greta Lee, Jodie Comer and “Saltburn” hunk Barry Keoghan. “Not a bad way to start a new chapter,” noted the insider.

Spies told Page Six they saw a solo Portman in Las Vegas for a wedding last month, where she spent time hanging out with her friends and attending a show at buzzy ball the Sphere.

Portman was also spotted seeing DJ duo Two Friends at the Wynn, where she was pulled onstage as they played her dirty “Saturday Night Live” rap “Natalie’s Rap.”

The “Black Swan” star and crew “had a great time dancing and hanging out,” said the insider.

Meanwhile, last month at Paris fashion week, a video made the rounds showing Rihanna and Portman fawning over each other at the Dior haute couture show.

Portman filed for divorce last July and it was finalized last month in France, reports People magazine. The pair have two children, Aleph, 12, and Amalia, 7. Previously, Page Six reported that the pair, who met on the set of “Black Swan” and married in 2012, separated in 2022.

But they had managed to work through their relationsh­ip woes. But in June 2023, photos from France suggested that the former New York City Ballet principal dancer had been spending time with glamorous young climate activist
