Natalie Portman shared a cryptic post about "grieving wives" just one day before reports started circulating that her husband Benjamin Millepied cheated with a younger woman.
The Oscar-winning actress, 41, has been married to 45-year-old Benjamin since 2012, but they now seem to have hit a rough patch in their marriage.
The choreographer and dancer is thought to be doing all he can to earn Natalie's forgiveness after he reportedly cheated on her with 25-year-old climate activist Camille Étienne
Natalie had taken to Instagram on Thursday to give her 8.7million followers a glimpse of the latest book she's reading, which just so happens to be all about a "grieving wife".
Seemingly hinting at her marriage woes, Natalie uploaded a snap of herself posing behind the cover of the book Biography of X.
In the caption, she wrote: "When X, a polarizing and elusive artist, drops dead in her office, her grieving wife sets out to uncover the truth of X's life.
"Part narrative fiction, part fake biography — Catherine Lacey's Biography of X already feels wholly original and I can't wait to discuss with you all."
Benjamin is thought to be "doing all he can" to try and save their relationship.
A source has said the affair is now over and the couple are still together while trying to overcome their marital problems.
"It was short-lived and it is over. He knows he made an enormous mistake and he is doing all he can to get Natalie to forgive him and keep their family together.
"Natalie is incredibly private and has no intention of playing this out in the media. Her biggest priority is protecting her children and their privacy," the source told People.
Natalie and Benjamin share two children together - 11-year-old son Aleph and six-year-old daughter Amalia.
Reports suggest Natalie and Benjamin’s marriage has been on the rocks since November last year.
However, just days before news broke of the alleged affair, the couple packed on the PDA as they made a trip to Cannes Film Festival.
Natalie and Benjamin dined with pals at the restaurant Georges and even shared a romantic kiss, as Natalie appeared to hold on to a red rose.
