Natalia Vodianova: Is the fairy tale over?
The ex-husband of model Natalia Vodianova was forced to make revelations! The father of Natalia's three children, British aristocrat Justin Portman, did not behave like a gentleman at all and dumped all the dirty laundry from the family closet. What has our most famous top model been hiding for many years?
The life of model Natalia Vodianova resembles a glamorous picture from the glossy magazines for which she is photographed. Expensive cars, luxurious apartments, wonderful angel-like children. It’s not for nothing that Natasha is called the Russian Cinderella: a girl from a poor Nizhny Novgorod family became one of the most famous and highly paid models, married a lord... Yes, then she got divorced, but this did not spoil the fairy tale at all. The idyll collapsed only after the ex-husband decided to admit that their family was ruined... by alcohol!
SCARED AN ARISTOCRAT
Lord Justin Portman has never commented on his life together with model Natalia Vodianova, much less the breakup. But recently another girlfriend left him, and the Briton suddenly began to pour out his soul on his page on the social network. At first he was sad: “I separated from my wife after nine years of marriage, and for the first time she asked me for a divorce six years ago. Life with her was the greatest happiness I have ever known...” Well, then, like most offended men, he blamed his ex-wife for the broken marriage...
Romantic young ladies can re-read their love story at night - it really helps to believe in a miracle. The Russian model was taking her first steps in her career abroad when she attended a party in Paris. Lovelace Justin, a regular at all kinds of social events, gave the girl a dubious compliment. And immediately received a rebuff. The altercation escalated into swearing to the amusement of all the guests. In the heat of a quarrel, Natasha even burned the hand of the arrogant aristocrat with a cigarette.
Vodianova's ex-husband spoke about the reasons for the breakup with the model
The marriage of supermodel Natalia Vodianova and British aristocrat Justin Portman was over several years ago. The star of world catwalks openly spoke to the public about her divorce from the father of her three children in November 2011. During this time, Natalia Vodianova managed to meet a new man - the model's chosen one was the French billionaire Antoine Arnault - and gave birth to his son. Vodianova prefers not to talk about her unsuccessful marriage to Portman, at least not publicly. The model has turned this page, she has a new happy life. The same cannot be said about Natalia’s ex-husband. The man is still reflecting on the fact that he was unable to save his family with the mother of his three children and one of the most successful and famous women on the planet.
Justin Portman intensively analyzes the past in order to once again explain, first of all, to himself, why Vodianova chose another man over him. The British aristocrat published a very frank post on the social network with an emotional story about his life with Natalia Vodianova, which, however, he deleted. But it was too late - Portman’s revelations had already become public knowledge by that time. “It's been 6 years since we didn't live together and 9 years since she first asked me for a divorce. Life was so happy that it’s hard to even imagine,” Portman wrote.
Among the reasons for the breakup with Vodianova, the father of her children names his excessive passion for alcohol and the feeling that he is not worthy of his famous and successful wife. “I knew my life didn’t match her fashion life,” Portman continues to confess. “I thought she was embarrassed of me.” I voluntarily went to a rehab center for 28 days. I quickly realized that this was not the place for me, but I had to hold out for the sake of my family. On the 27th day, relatives of patients traditionally come to the center. And it was a shock and pain for me to learn from Natalya that she didn’t miss me at all and didn’t want me to return to the family.”
Not everything is smooth in the life of Justin Portman to this day. The man tried to build a new relationship, but, as he put it, he was betrayed again. But in the life of Natalia Vodianova there is now complete harmony: family, her favorite work and a charitable foundation occupy all her time. According to the model, she and her husband Antoine Arnault have common interests and preferences - both like to spend time at home, taking care of children, rather than appearing at social events. Let us remember that Vodianova has four children. Three are sons Lucas and Victor and daughter Neva from his marriage to Justin Portman, and one is son Maxim from his marriage to Antoine Arnault.
NO MONEY, NO TITLE
The next day he came to her with a bouquet of roses. And a year later he was already holding his beloved’s hand when she gave birth to his son. Then there was a magnificent wedding. As it should be in fairy tales about Cinderella - in the palace, in the luxurious Throne Hall of Peterhof. And the birth of two more children, which did not stop Vodianova from making a dizzying career. London, New York, Paris... - Natalya was torn between the capitals of world fashion, and her faithful husband traveled behind her.
— When I’m on the podium, I know that Justin is somewhere in the hall. He looks at me and is proud. “He looks like the knights from the books I read as a child,” Natalya Vodianova was touched.
Everyone envied her - if only she had snatched such a husband! Handsome, educated, loves her to the point of stuttering, from a noble ancient family, and he doesn’t even care about money! But soon the truth, which the couple tried to hide, came out. It turned out that Justin was not a rich man at all, and certainly not a lord: the title and money belonged to his older brother. He himself only owned a castle, which he did not have the right to sell, and a small amount of monthly maintenance. Natalya earned money. The husband turned out to be an ideological slacker - from time immemorial no one in his family worked. But bored Justin happily spent money in the casino while Vodianova worked like hell. She also defended her husband from attacks: she said that someday he would become famous. And the couple’s friends were waiting for “Cinderella” to get tired of dragging this “prince” around her neck.
“I AM TO HER LIKE AN UNFASHIONABLE BAG!”
Still, the news of their divorce six years ago came as a shock to everyone. Then Natalya tactfully kept silent about the reasons.
“I fell out of love with him, it happens, you don’t have to stop loving him “for something,” she said. “He and I are as different as water and oil.” She endured for a long time, but still could not compromise anymore. At some point it became impossible to live with it...
They didn’t even remain friends - Natalya crossed Portman out of life, saying in an interview: “No one knows how Cinderella lived with the prince... The fairy tale is silent about this...”
And only now another secret has surfaced, which she and her ex-husband hid for all nine years of marriage. It turns out that Justin was a binge alcoholic!
“I voluntarily went to a rehabilitation center. On the 27th day, when patients were traditionally visited by family and friends, my ex-wife told me that she did not miss me at all and was not interested in me returning to the family. I experienced a huge shock, I was in a lot of pain...
Instead of realizing how much pain and grief he brought to Natalya, Portman hastened to accuse his ex-wife of all mortal sins. Like, she left him because she became a star:
“My life no longer matched my wife’s fashionable life. I became to her something like an old and out-of-fashion Louis Vuitton bag.”
Natalia Vodianova's first husband is Justin Portman
The model met her first husband at a private party in Paris. Justin Portman, a freelance artist and art collector, and young Natalia Vodianova did not immediately find a common language.
Justin was drunk, flirted with my friend, and then started hitting on me. I was drunk too, so I rudely told him off. We yelled at each other for a long time, and the guests laughed
– recalls Natalia Vodianova.
The next day, the man called the girl, apologized and asked her out on a date. Since then, the couple has become inseparable.
The ex-husband of Natalia Vodianova is a lord, British aristocrat, actor, billionaire and artist. Full name: Justin Trevor Berkeley Portman.
Natalia Vodianova's husband was born in Great Britain in 1969, his family is English aristocrats.
Justin received an excellent education. He graduated from the Harrow School for aristocratic boys, which was founded in the 16th century. Continued his studies at the University.
When Natalia Vodianova went to Africa for a photo shoot in 2001, her husband Justin accompanied her. From there the girl returned pregnant.
The wedding took place after the birth of their son, on September 1, 2002, in St. Petersburg. It was a real Russian celebration, with a three-day party and many people present. A banquet was organized for the honored guests in Peterhof. They were entertained in the Throne Hall of the Grand Palace, and artists from the Mariinsky Theater performed.
Soon, Natalia Vodianova and her husband had a daughter, Neva, and a son, Victor. The marriage was considered one of the strongest among celebrities. But, after holding on for 9 years, it broke up.
Why did Vodianova divorce her first husband?
Why did the celebrity couple break up? The official reason for Natalia Vodianova’s divorce from her husband is unknown. Journalists say that the reason was the model’s new love, French billionaire Antoine Arnault.
Our problems started a long time ago,” says Portman’s husband. – My lifestyle did not correspond to the stellar career of Natalia Vodianova. She was used to living large and constantly traveling. I became like an outdated Louis Vuitton bag to her.
Justin was acutely aware of his irrelevance in the world of glamor and admitted that his wife was also uncomfortable around him. He became addicted to alcohol and was even forced to undergo treatment in a rehabilitation center.
Natalia Vodianova also shared her opinion:
Our marriage fell apart due to my husband Justin's lack of involvement in caring for the children. He is a completely impractical father, although he loves his two sons and daughter. I had to solve all the problems myself. But raising and caring for children is something that spouses should do together.
When Portman was in rehabilitation, Natalia Vodianova told her husband that she no longer wanted to be with him.
I was very hurt. “I suspect that my wife had a short-term affair after the birth of our second child,” Justin opened up. – I have English traditions, she has Russian ones. It was good, but one day everything collapsed.
Natalia Vodianova's friends voice their version:
The great fortune of Lord Portman's husband is just a rumor. The old English family had only the title left, and Natasha brought in all the money. In addition to problems with alcohol, Portman is also an avid gambler. He lost most of Natasha's fees. It is not surprising that her patience ran out, although she tried to save the family to the last.
After the divorce, the couple obtained joint custody of the children, but were unable to maintain friendly relations. Natalia Vodianova admits that she continues to respect her ex-husband; he will forever remain a member of her family and the father of three children. It just happened that they fell out of love with each other.
Portman now lives in Uruguay, in a fashionable estate that he once built for his family.
How old is Natalia Vodianova?
The model was born on February 28, 1982. She is now 36 years old.
WHY DO VODYANOVA HAVE HUSBANDS DRINK?
Justin's confessions caused a stir. Some felt sorry for Natalya, who suffered for so many years for the sake of her children next to a drunkard. Others accused her of getting her husband drunk. One blogger even wrote a post on the topic “Why do Vodianova’s husbands drink”:
“She needed fashionable parties, get-togethers, a fun life, they say she drank like a regimental horse. Justin tried to live up to all that."
Natalya, who is now happy with her beloved man Antoine Arnault, the son of a man who ranks fifth on the list of the richest people on the planet, just laughed: “Today my husbands and I will drink to the author’s health. We are waiting for the continuation of the series - “Why do Vodianova’s husbands eat?” and “Why do Vodianova’s husbands snore?”
She was not offended by her ex-husband either, because she perfectly understands in what frenzy Justin wrote his reproaches. A few hours later, apparently having sobered up, he deleted his post. Vodianova did not comment on Portman’s words. Yes, he ruined one fairy tale. But she will write a new one. And already with another prince...
