Natalie Portman & Rodrigo Santoro: New Couple?

Natalie Portman & Rodrigo Santoro: New Couple?

Natalie Portman has been quite popular with the boys since splitting with rocker Devendra Banhart last September.

She has been dating Brazilian actor Rodrigo Santoro for about a month according to InTouchWeekly. According to a source, “They are trying to keep a low profile, but he is a very sweet guy. And to make things more interesting, Ryan Gosling has been in the mix as well. After splitting with Rachel McAdams (again), he’s been “texting her all the time and asking her to hang out,” says a friend.

Rodrigo, 33, has had roles in Lost, 300 and Che.

i dont even know him… ryan and nataliee? odd

# 2

i also heard she was dating/seeing robert pattinson as well…but i think this match sounds best just because natalie seems to go for not extremely famous guys and rob and ryan ar eboth on the a-list

# 3

I thought they’ve dated before a while back.

# 4

i have a feeling she’ll end up with somebody go tho imo

# 6

Btw, he’s cute.

# 7

I’m loving it. he is indeed very sweet and well respected in brazil. here in brazil the media still not talking about them.

# 8

i don’t know the guy, need to look up what he has been in, but if Natalie is dating him, he must be something better than the ordinary, i am sure

# 9

ahh..he was the ‘bad guy’ (surfer) in Charlie’s Angels.

boyfriend # 401

i just looked him up, he is gorgeous

ALAN JONES @ 02/24/2009 at 5:08 pm

IT´S AMAZING! I´M Brazilian and everybody here in Brazil love him and his works so much.He is a good person.And of course Natalie is fantastic.Good look for them………ALAN JONES

way to go Natalie, have fun, hope you like him enough and are happy

I’d date her and I’m a straight chick!!

Seriously…she is my lesbian crush!!

Well according to the media Natalie’s been getting around lately…First with Ryan Gosling, then flirting at the Oscars with Robert Pattinson and now with Rodrigo…Yeah…the poor girl can’t be seen talking with anyone apparently, but I DO have to point out that if there is ANY truth to this rumor, I think it would be safe to say by now that Natalie likes her men LATINO,hahahahahahahahaha! Gael,Devendra,Rodrigo…she’s got good taste!

@kery #10 @ 02/24/2009 at 5:14 pm

Every guy who meets Natalie falls for her, she is just looking for the perfect one, and she is doing the right thing

some girls are afraid not to get married right away bc they don’t have confidence and think they will not find better

natalie has confidence, she can get any one she wants

I think she is playing the field but, I don’t know enough of this guy to say yea or nay but, I do like the Gosling idea and heard about the texting flirting idea..Man’s canadian so she is used to COLD..not sure about the Brazillian heat..lol

Hey Jared, I don’t see this on the InTouch website.

She sure is popular with all the boys.

Russian girl @ 02/24/2009 at 5:24 pm

OMG! If they are dating it will be The most GORGEOUS couple ( after Jolie-Pitt). I love Rodrigo soooo much. They both Unreal Beauty and clever! Soooo I hope Rodrigo and Natalie are dating!

no pics together= it never happens

I guess we just have to wait and see, but if Natalie is with him, he must be something special

meofcourse @ 02/24/2009 at 5:27 pm

DAMN!
Is she lucky or what.
he is soooo sexy in lost and love actually and charlies angels.
I always notice him.

they’d make some rather good looking children lol.

And of course natalie portman is sooo Gorgeous aswell
Sexiest Couple Going (IF TRUE)

xx

I love Natalie Portman, I hope she is happy

The most gorgeous girl in HW.

H. Lecter @ 02/24/2009 at 5:36 pm

Jared, I don’t find this. Another ****! It’s not true, I’m sure. She SEEMS SO SINGLE, JUST SEE HER LATEST PAPARAZZI CANDIDS PLEASE, and you’ll see!!!!

Good on you, Nat - superior choices to Devendra Banhart (*shiver*).

keep it real @ 02/24/2009 at 5:38 pm

I just saw this on You Tube: 300 Rodrigo Santoro interview and he gets my approval, go Natalie.

She gets around.

keep it real @ 02/24/2009 at 5:41 pm

@28
and why not date a gorgeous talented guy, what is wrong with that?

after the oscars natalie is all the buzz, she looked stunning

really?! i thought he has a brasilian fiancee - a model, they live together and have been going pretty strong…

He’s that golden gay villain in 300 movie.

@31
well, obviously they broke up

Natalie is gorgeous.

LOL Lexi…. Rob and Ryan A-list????

Ryan, ok he has the talent and he’s been nominated for a few top awards, but sorry…. RPATTZ? Really? “Hot young thing of the moment status” doesn’t make you A-list. Working with top directors and fellow A-list actors elevates you to A list.

NATALIE IS A-LIST.

I like this Natalie and Rodrigo paring!! She definitely has a type ;)

He is gorgeous and always seems really nice in interviews, but I thought he was engaged or married. Good for her if true. Good for him too.

Go Rodrigo! I loved that headline!

Rodrigo is a Brazilian actor and very popular here in Brazil also Natalie, he’s so lovely!

Amazing couple!

Rodrigo Santoro is too good for her

I loved him in the movie love actualy, he is gorgeous

she’s PERFECT and he’s hot. but pictures are my proof jared!

that would be a HOT couple!!!

shialove!! @ 02/24/2009 at 6:59 pm

most beautiful girl in hollywood

i would totally date him.

and sooo its liar about natalie and robert.???

Gosh…if this is true, what a match made in heaven!

I’ve met Rodrigo and he’s such a sweet guy, a real gentleman.

Fergie ferg @ 02/24/2009 at 7:06 pm

HE WAS IN THE CHANEL AD WITH NICOLE KIDMAN
HERE IT IS FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO DROOL : )

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTO4FHf8MBs

He was the hunky guy in Love, Actually who almost got it on with Laura Linney. He’s BE-YOU-TI-FUL !

Natalie sure loves her latino men … Gael, Devendra and now Rodrigo. She likes them caliente!

I thought she was with the guy that worked with her in Hotel Chevalier: http://www.actressscene.com/search/label/Natalie%20Portman

Don’t know the guy but, his dark haired looks and beard is sexy! Natalie can have any man she wants. She is smart and beautiful and not some dimwitted fool!

Poor Natalie

Desperation! @ 02/24/2009 at 7:46 pm

Ryan Gosling seems desperate! Poor guy - can’t get a date??

Poor Natalie!

No…she is going to hook up with Robert Pattison. As soon as I saw they were both going to be at the Oscars….the first thought I had was they are totally going to go for each other.

Robert Pattinson claimed he admired Natalie and he would love to meet up with her but, Natalie never said she would go for younger men she seems the type to be attracted to the older guys her are more mature and grounded. If the guy has a good head on his shoulders and isn’t into use abuse as they so choose I’m sure she will go out with them till she decides it’s settle down. Just glad she dumped that Dev dude he was scary.

Natalie to me is the most sought out woman next to Jolie or Winselt in show business. There are too many want to be d-listers that try to be natalie but, sorry they won’t ever equal her. If her choose is Gosling or Santoro congrats Natalie.

@48
that is a different guy, look it up, she never worked with Santoro.

Rodrigo Santoro is one of the most respect actor in Brazil.
Try to watch “Bicho de 7 cabeças” - Brainstorm.
So you will see watch I´m saying.

@ Funky # 54

i agree with you, natalie could have any guy, any one she meets or works with goes crazy over her, she is dating bc she can’t decide who she wants, it is had to fall in love if every man wants you, gets confusing

also, i think she is like Angelina and Kate W, she is gorgeous, talented but younger, which is a plus to Natalie

@56
there is no need to see his work, Natalie would not date some talentless idiot, if she is dating santoro he must be an interesting person, no need for proof

Nahhhh, I still like the thought of ‘Robalie’ way better. To bad…it would’ve been quite beautiful.

i love Natalie and wish her all the best

she has been a star since age of 11, never disliked by anyone for any reason, always respected and admired, she deserves the best of everything bc she is the best

@59

he is very young, natalie needs a man not a boy, isn’t he only 22?

That is old new need to stop printing things that is old . Just because of rachele bilson and that fake engagement and ring she suppose to have gotten from hayden. Why don’t you just say she’s dating different guys what rachel bilson suppose to be doing. instead are making her look good.Rachel probably doing it too.

@ me
Please explain what you just said, and how did you end up with bilson on this thread?

Natalie is a stunningly beautiful, talented, educated, successful young lady, not enough words to describe her, just perfect. Wish her luck.

omg, Santoro is the real thing! He is sort of the last gentleman ever with consistent and long relationships, not a womanizer guy. You would never see him doing anything wrong, he is suck a lottery man! What a couple!

samy, his b-day is 22/8/1975.

so cute!!! love rodrigo..excelent actor…just hope he keeps it real and don´t fall into this world!!! natalie is an excelent and intelligent actress…hats off for the couple!!!

This pic doesn’t do him justice, he’s gorgeous, talented and very sweet. And Nat is intelligent, beautiful, talented, kind. Talk about the PERFECT HOT couple.

Yippie!!! This just made my day. I just adore Nat and am so happy for her.

oh yes yes yes yes

I think he’s soooo hot. I love her..then again I pretty much liked many of the guys she’s dated

THAT WAS THE BEST THING I’VE EVEEEEEEEEEEER SAW. GOOD FOR THEM!!!!!! im sooooooooo happy <3 i love him, he is such a great actor and she is such a sweet girl. they’re a perfect match. brazil is happy. ♥

If it´s true, it´s cool. Natalie and Rodrigo are nice people.

He is very talent and gorgeous! He used to date Gisele Bundchen

I’m curious: YOU BELIEVE WHAT YOU SEE?

Rodrigo Santoro is hot. Natalie, you go girl!

He’s a nice guy!

He is in Brazil for the carnival and I read that he said in an interview “i’m single but I dont know until when”… He’s a nice guy, everybody likes him in Brazil, he’s the cult type of actor I think they would make a really beautiful couple… He’s definetly better than Devendra!!!!!!

I can’t trust this rumor until I saw picture of them holding hand and kissing each other.
just like past rumor…Ryan Gosling, Andy Samberg…

I thought Rodrigo Santoro dated a brazillian girl, I forgot her name though…. Maybe Ellen something….

Ellen Jabour. They broke a while ago.

Ellen Jabour. They broke a while ago.

i know they where both at tha Academy Awards in feb 23 and think if they are a couple they make a gorgoeus couple.

Yup another loser of a boyfriend/fuckmate

Portman is trash and only gets to work because she is a jew
add she is sooooo snotty

i love him, he’s incredible! she is too!

Rodrigo Santoro was in Love Actually (the Laura Linney ‘couple’) and also in the Chanel ad with Nicole Kidman. He’s so hot and they would be an absolutely gorgeous couple. :)

Rodrigo rules and he’s soooo hot! He’s Brazil’s best actor.

@86
Natalie Portman is the best young actress in HW. Every one loves her.

What I like about Natalie that she is in real relationships, not bc she conveniently met someone on the set of a movie. Men really love her and pursue her outside the convenience of just being together at work. They have real interest in her.

Natalie is really one of a kind. I don’t know Santoro that well, but if she likes him hope it works out.

i knew it! that’s karl from love actually! he played laura linney’s love interest. they don’t get together in the end though.

I’m Brazilian and… this two are my favorite actors!!!! I never was happy with Natalie’s boyfriends, but Rodrigo is perfect to her! And I know they make a excelent couple!!! He is sooo cute and handsome!!!

I hope that it’s true!

Love Natalie, hope she is happy.

He is also the guy in the Channel #5 with Nicole Kidman and a megastar in Brazil. ALL AROUND HERMOSO!

Hope he makes it in Hollywood and they from a power couple like Brangelina.

WOW! it’s that possible? :O

No. There aren’t pictures and there aren’t sources.

natalie is a very private person that is why no pictures probably

No. There are other paparazzi pictures her with friend not long ago. In February, in January… so don’t be dumb, abc.

with FRIENDS.
I highly doubt this. This is another tabloid rumour.

why do you think it is a rumor? it is very possible, they just keep it to themselves.

they could be seeing each other in private

Natalie sucks horse ass

Natalie sucks horse ass

Natalie is the most talented, the most beautiful, the most intelligent, the most respectable young actress in Hollywood. She is the tops.

Natalie must be worshiped by every man in HW.

Natalie must be worshiped by every man in HW..

Hope not! I´m brazilian and I met this guy when he was with Benicio Del Toro promotting Che.
While Benicio is a sweet heart, Rodrigo is a *******!
Would be a shame if this note it´s true. He´s got no talent and no sense either.

abc, have you proof??????

abc, do you have proof??????

I think I prefer the idea of her and Ryan Gosling, but nothing is ever simple like her.

Sorry, I meant nothing is ever simple like that.

@107
If I had proof I would have posted it, I said that it is very possible. Get it?

There is nothing concrete about her dating any of these guys, but I am sure she is dating some one, why not?

RODRIGO EU TE AMO!!! VOLTA PRO BRASIL, AMOR!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

omg! he’s gorgeous!!!!!!!!!1
lucky girl!

@113

Would be nice if you posted in English, some of us don’t speak your language.

ABC,
I hope that would be Ryan or even Robert is better than Rodrigo.
It´s a real shame, ´cause he´s also brazilian, but a complete jerk!

@114
but she is gorgeous and talented and young!!!!!!!!!

To a

I said I love you Rodrigo Santoro. Come back to Brazil, love!!

You see? Completely bullshit. hahaha But since you wanted so badly for me to post in English hahahahahaha

I’m sure she’s not.

@119

I don’t get it. Why not?

this guy, rodrigo, played Xerxes in 300.

Because you haven’t proof.

Natalie is my girlfriend, she loveme much!! she crazy for me…

Santoro is good man, but… just do it!!

ah! VANESSAJONAS… you is single??? my add lfernandess@riogrande-rs.com.br kiss for you.

aww they would be soo gorgeous together! i love the two of them.

i love power couples like brangelina, gorgeous, talented, hard working and these 2 could also be that unlike some talentless unemployed media hos.

Natalie and Ryan?? Eww I’m happy that fizzled. He only belongs with Rachel!

@126

Ryan and Rachel broke up twice, he obviously does not belong with her.
If Natalie does not mind him, so be it.

TWPUMPKIN @ 02/25/2009 at 5:24 pm

she is very pretty but a bad actress. Her past choices of men have been bad.

Natalie is the best young actress in Hollywood, she deserves the best.

I love you Rodrigo Santoro.

It seems to me she likes latino men better, why not? latin lovers are hot!

In Brazil he is VERY known…he`s the guy all women dream of!!Rodrigo s gorgeous, gentle, sweet…uow..people here go crazy with him!!Beautiful couple!

H. Lecter @ 02/26/2009 at 8:13 am

Do you always believe what you read? You all are so pathetic.

@133

Why does it bother you so much? Obviously some one knows something, otherwise, they would not print it.

Mariana Noms @ 02/26/2009 at 9:03 am

I LOVEEEEEEE RODRIGO SANTORO!!!!

H. Lecter @ 02/26/2009 at 9:07 am

Why do you approve this **** so much when you just read something and you didn’t see any proof???? You are really silly, aaa.

Well, let’s wait for the proof. All I am saying that they must know something if they printed it. Besides, we may never see the proof bc she may be with Ryan G already, who knows. But it is possible they dated if they reported it. Why the hell not?

Just because printed it, it’s not more reliable. I don’t buy this.

@138
why would they print it if it was not true, why?

H. Lecter @ 02/26/2009 at 3:35 pm

You think always what you read in a newspaper is true????

H. Lecter @ 02/26/2009 at 3:41 pm

Let’s end this: I believe just what I see. End of the story.

Ryan still loves Rachel.

@142
How do you know, and why did he not propose to her?

Natalie needs to stop messing around with men and come date ME!

Well, it´s fantastic… They´re good persons, sweeties…. Santoro is a guy to marry. Kisses every body

This Is “Carl” from Love Actually.

Silvia machado @ 02/27/2009 at 11:03 pm

Hello!
I’m Brazilian! I want to say that Rodrigo is a great actor, very popular here in Brazil. He is handsome, gentil and very inteligent…

go to your tango .com and look to the right of the page and the title says natalie portman dating another hot dude … jared won’t let me post the link.

She is either dating him or has been dating him, but would not print it without a reason.

I take back what I said about Rob and Nat. The more I read and see, the more I think Rodrigo and her fit. :) He is sexy and so is she.

I don’t believe. No pictures, there’s nothing.

i agree. no proof. and it’s useless to be assertive about a printed article. you don’t know the truth. most of the times when they say “a friend tells something”, it’s from the authors own ass.

It´s a great news, becouse I like rodrigo santoro, he´s a perfect actor, i saw 300 and Che … excelents movie and very beautiful, hot.
Natalie is a luck girl.

fresh air @ 03/01/2009 at 9:45 am

@154
coming from laney it is hard to believe bc laney is wrong most of the time

@155 totally agree Lainey is at least 2 days late with gossip, which she takes from other sites anything that’s an “exclusive” most of the time is pure BS or wrong.

Natalie sleeps around and gives great head.

Tisdragonfly @ 03/04/2009 at 10:51 pm

wow she looks fantastic here, and love the new guy he’s cute to

nice picture she looks radiant and happy as always

Rodrigo Santoro is so hottttt….he is a Brad Pitt in Brazil!
The guy is cute, smart, nice and intelligent.
I hope they stay together. For sure he is a keeper!!

Santoro himself denied this silly rumour a few weeks ago. Check out Brazilian sites. End of the story. Hwh…

a few days ago… :)

Anna_brazil @ 03/09/2009 at 12:29 am

Rodrigo Santoro just confirm here in brazil that is true, they are having a affair… not DATE..

Anna_brazil @ 03/09/2009 at 12:47 am

Rodrigo ONLY DATE for real (for years!)… affair is affair…
Natalie Portman, affair - 2009
brazilian girl4 ( Body Double of GISELE!!!) Ellen Jabour - 2003-2008
Gisele Bunchen, affair - 2003
brazilian girl 3, affair - 2001
brazilian girl2, Luana Piovane- 1997-2000
brazilian girl - 5 years..

guilherme @ 03/09/2009 at 2:59 pm

finally the brazilian media talked about it……..yesterday( march 10) rodrigo assumed in a party that he actualy is with natalie since last month, and they are enjoying nd getting to know each other better now…….

he was the surfer in charlies angels, he was also the king xerxes (leader of the persian army) in 300…..and had roles in love actually, lost nd the spring of mrs stone…….

good luck to rodrigo nd natalie…..

BS. He denied the whole rumour. It’s over. Give up.

http://revistaquem.globo.com/Revista/Quem/0,,EMI63289-9531,00.html

Enjoy it!

He says the whole rumour is created. End of the story.

There is the proof guilherme that this was a big fake. Mess with your mother.

Does Brazilian guys have sugar in the mouth? Why American girls love them?

Forget about it. :) Over.

TAYLOR cARREYT @ 03/14/2009 at 11:20 am

She is in Brazil is some day in Rio de Janeiro, also enjoy the Carnival with him, This is not paparazzi and all photographer not speaks about this.
She is in Brazil since February 27,and he hosped on COPACABANA PALACE HOTEL in Rio de Janeiro.

REGARDS AND TKS
FROM , USA/ TAMPA

She’s in Brazil????? Hahahahahahahhaha.
Truth is painful, Taylor. She’s in Los Angeles since December. :)))))

i dont actually know anything about this rodrido santoro guy but from all the natalie portman stories i’ve read so far this sounds the most likely.
frankly i think she should go out with ryan gosling but this guy seems really nice (he must be if natalie portman’s interested) as well so good for them.
regardless of who she is dating, i have faith in her to choose the right guy.

p. richard @ 05/16/2009 at 8:32 am

No, that’s also wrong like Sean Penn, Gosling, Pitt, Robert Pattinson rumours. Sorry, anon.
