That month, a source told Us Weekly that Natalie felt “humiliated” by the accusations her husband was facing. 

“Natalie believes Benjamin’s affair was a brief and stupid liaison that means nothing to him,” the insider explained, adding that the Star Wars franchise cast member was “willing to see if she’s capable of rebuilding her trust” so that that their kids didn’t have to “grow up in a broken home.” 

However, a separate source told the outlet that Natalie “[didn’t] know” whether she and the choreographer could work things out. 

“Right now, they are talking and working on it together for the sake of their children,”  the second insider noted.
