A few months ago, a French outlet claimed that Benjamin had an extramarital affair with a 25-year-old woman. However, the couple reportedly chose to work on their relationship privately.

We know Natalie wants to keep her personal life fiercely private, especially when it comes to her family. Sources close to her also reveal that she has no intention of airing her personal life in the media. Her main focus is safeguarding her children and their privacy.

We also respect her decision to handle this sensitive situation discreetly. But the fans can’t keep calm as they want to know what’s the next step Natalie is gonna take now.

Angel City FC: Natalie’s Brainchild

Natalie is known for her contributions to various activism, including women’s rights. In 2020, she along with a group of all-women investors bought the National Women’s Soccer League team Angel City FC. The Equity Summit in Sydney was a remarkable gathering where brilliant minds discussed pathways toward pay equity and other pressing issues.

Furthermore, Natalie’s connection with Sydney goes beyond the Equity Summit. She and her family lived in Australia while she filmed the blockbuster “Thor: Love and Thunder.” Her love for the country runs deep, and her presence in the city has reignited fond memories.

We are sure that Natalie would be super proud of her girls as two Angel City players, Julie Ertz and Alyssa Thompson are representing the USA at the Soccer World Cup in New Zealand and Australia. Additionally, she’s also gearing up for an exciting forum on gender equity, “EQUALIZE: The State of Play,” scheduled for August 14 in Auckland.

While we can only speculate about the status of Natalie’s marriage, we admire her determination to pursue her passions despite the challenges she might be facing. As fans, let’s show our support for Natalie’s incredible work in empowering women in sports and gender equity.
