New Couple Alert!
Filed under: Music Minute > Love Line > Natalie Portman
That's Natalie Portman's new boyfriend.
No joke!
His name is Devendra Banhart and he's a singer.
The fab Miz Portman and the musician were recently spotted gettin cozy all over NYC's West Village.
Personally, Nat's ex, Gael Garcia Bernal, is more our type.
Banhart probably has a really great personality, though, we're suuuuuure.
The ever classy Portman appears in Banhart's video for the song Carmensita.
Love must have bloomed on set.

devendra is the kind of boy that all the intellectual girls like. it makes sense that him and natalie would get together!
he looks like a very hairy amy winehouse.
right?
wow, you fucking moron. i love how you promote your synthesized pop shit like there is no tomorrow but you have no idea who this extremely talented person is. how about you stop judging people for their looks? fucking bastard…
"His name is Devendra Banhart and he's a singer"
WTF?
It IS THE SINGER Devendra Banhart!
Man! He lives next door to you, in California
And OH YE he is SO HOT, and so talented.
Go see him in concert and you'll fall in love with him, I'm telling you!
Please don't make fun of Devendra Banhart. His music is AMAZING
That's a really bad pic…he is HOT, and an amazing musician to boot.
Devendra is amazing. Geal Garcia Bernal was featured on his song Cristobal. and you're dumb perez.
Devandra Banhart is SUPER TALENTED! I'm totally excited for them!
From my hometown. Gooooo devendra!
malibu! malibu!
Natalie, good God almighty, what the hell are you thinking girl?
p, devendra is AMAZING. you should listen to his music and get to know all about him because you will LOVE him
ya perez! do you not know banhart's music!? post the song "little yellow spider" and share the vibe.
i saw them making out this week at s'nice in the city
i didnt even realize it was her cause i was staring at him, and telling my friends he looks like a porno jesus.
then when i realized it was her i kept thinking..nat is getting it on with jesus
scary greasy porno jesus.
He's an awsome artist, and I think they're a good match.. and I think that the picture is bad.. he's actually kind of hot.
wow, none of you know what talent is. Devandra is fucking awesome
maybe if you took ashley simpson off your ipod and found good music you would know that
fucking schmucks
devandra banhart is amazing perez. why dont you go pick up one of his albums and actually listen to GOOD music.
dvendra is the SHIZNIT! he is so gorgeous and talented! please don't jump on the bandwagon, perez. you wouldn't know good music if it bit you in your ass….leona lewis and mika? barf on your cuban face!
Saw them last night at a reading in NYC bookstore. They were canoodling throughout the reading - tres ew. then a girl came up to natalie's man and called him "Jason" to which he responded. Hm? Jason it is?!
Devendra is awesome!!! He's totally weird, but he's a great artist
normally i would say natalie portman is too good for whoever she's dating, but in this case DEVENDRA IS TOO GOOD FOR HER!
He's actually a good musician and when he talks he's pretty charming. And he's brilliant. They know eachother because Gael and Devendra have worked together. Not like any of you teenie boppers would know.
I think he's sexy and interesting.. Hung like horse I bet.
She's one of the smartest gals in show biz. Apparently, she has no brains when it comes to picking a guy.
wow, i didn't know so many hipsters stooped to reading this site!!
eww are you for real??
Oh, Debby. Anyone that still calls it "show biz" shouldn't be alive.
Perez, you call yourself a knower of all that is music. Devendra Banhart has been around making amazing music for a long time. he's beautiful.
I'm surprised you didn't know Devendra Banhart. Seeing as you're like a wannabe hipster Perez. His music's cool.
OMG, I looove Gael Garcia Bernal….she's crazy, wayy too pretty for that guy
Devrenda Banhart is so so awsome! Smart Lady. And you sir (Perez) claim to be indie? hahaha You are a joke, you'll never be a trendster because you just dont get it…dumb bum.
I
aww it's like she has a rabbi boyfriend
how cute
lol
omfg!
That lucky bitch!
Devendra is amazing and all, but i thought he was fucking that girl from cocorosie?????!!!!! what happened with that? i thought they were a great couple.
devendra DOES have a great personallity. i met him when in san fran and he was soooooo wonderful!
I am a fan of both his and Natalie's work and I wish them the best in their relationship. I love couples that aren't just Barbie and Ken rehashed.
You have to watch him perform. His songs are amazing and he's actually hot as all hell.
i know some of you tykes are a little young…. hello, he is totally ripping off jim morrison groove.. he is nothing original….. he is bearable to listen to but please not groundbreaking……….. he mimics morrison spirit yet is in the body of a effeminate man…. not my cup of tea…but i can see why all the ladies love him…he is one of the girls….
You are all a bunch of idiots- try listening to Devendra's music. He is actually fucking amazing and Natalie Portman is lucky to be dating someone so brilliant.
awwwww devendra is precious, i love him. natalie, on the other hand, not so much.
wooo! devendra! start listening perez, because you will love this guy! he's crazy good!
He is a pretty man. I would do him.
Ay tu primo colorado
Con barba camburada
Y lleno de ballena
Inclinadose al sol
Ay tu rayo de luz roja
Besando nuestra boca
El beso que te sopla
Sabe a Pampero
Ay tus tres ojos lunares
Extraterrestriales
Entran quando sales
Por eso no se ven
Ay tu barba colorada
Traviesa y rebelde
Me afeito con espada
Pero devuelve
yeah that's not what he looks like most of the time…
and he's fucking amazing
He aint just a singer! He's a folk god. Natalie Portman's a lucky gal.
HE IS MINE!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOO im pissed. it better be over in a week. this is shit.
Devendra Banhart is an AMAZING musician. I'm jealous.
I love Natalie more than ever now.
yeah, wondering how you could have NOT heard of him, P-Nasty, he's fairly mainstream indie. And really talented. I'm sure they'll make beautiful music together.
PEREZ YOU DUMB DISCO BOY, DONT LISTEN TO DEVENDRA
HE IS TOO GOOD FOR YOU
devendra's fucking rad.
i saw a show of his last year in LA and he had Gael Garcia Bernal sing Quedate Luna with him, which was a song in motorcycle diaries.
wonder how Gael feels about Devendra dating his ex?
HE LOOKS LIKE RUMER WILLIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
devendra banhart is a musical genius. you are all ignorant if you judge a person by their appearance. i feel sorry for you.
devendra has been around for a while. with all your music knowledge I'm surprised he slipt through your fingers. he rocks….its also kinda weird you didnt put one of his songs on this post so everyone can hear what he sounds like.
Devendra is BEAUTIFUL. And he makes amazing music.
He's an amazing pan-sexual kind of singer.. so sexy.
they're dating??
that's sooo bomb!
my fave actress, and one of my favorite musicians!
awwww, this makes my day.
:]
.. also, he's pretty inspired by an amazing band of queer wild child peeps from the Cockettes, from the '70s. REALLY inspired and nutty. Big kudos for a straight dude like Devendra to have a clue about such an obscure tribe of creativity.
hes a fabulous artist though…………..been listening to his music for about 2 years now and am very impressed with him
He's actually a very good looking guy who is extremely talented. Shallow asses need to get over his long hair and beard. You go, Natalie! I'm jealous!
Thats because he's an amazing musician.
Take a listen. I'd be smitten too!
Of course….she's into indie music and indie rockers!
Devendra Banhart is one of my favorite artists!
NP is lucky to have found someone that is truely down-to-earth, unlike other Hollywood jerks she could've wound up with. Of course, she has her head on her shoulders and wouldn't do that. They have similar character traits and i think they're good together.

Devendra Banhart is one of the most interesting musicians working today. His voice is comparable perhaps only to Nina Simone or Billie Holliday, and his friends/admirers include Rufus Wainwright, Antony & The Johnsons, Joanna Newsom, Vashti Bunyan, The Flaming Lips, Jason Schwartzman, and Lou MUTHAFUCKIN' Reed. If you have ANY knowledge of music that could be considered underground, freak-folk, art-pop, or just plain GOOD, then these names might resonate on some level. Devendra also has a duet on his new album WITH Gael Garcia Bernal. I believe that's how he met Natalie. I'd recommend checking out his album "Cripple Crow", Perez. It might be a good place to start exploring the odd, beautiful, sweet world of Devendra Banhart. P.S. He's from Houston, but was raised in Argentina and speaks fluent Spanish (the pretty version, not the bastardised dirty Spanish).

Damn, did Chewbacca shave? This guy is the shittiest looking prick I have ever seen. Natalie Portman better not be giving it up to this guy who looks like a snatch… I would love to put it in her virgin butt!
Wow he's awesome. I love him. I want to go live with his musical family in CA.
Love, love, love Davendra.
Perez you fat motherfucker! Devendra Banhart ROCKS!!!!!! You dont know DICK about music if you dont knoe Devendra. He's a genuis. GET.A.CLUE.
Devendra is really beautiful. This picture does not do him justice. Not to mention that his music is amazing. I think they make a good match.
i love Devendra hes one of my favorite artist, you should really check him out!

CHECK IT OUT!!!!!! WAY BETTER PHOTOS OF HIM
WWW.LAURENDUKOFF.COM
THESE ARE TAKEN BY HIS AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL SISTER LAUREN! YOU CAN SEE GOOD LOOKS RUN IN THE FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my stomach almost hit the floor when i saw this- can't believe devendra is on perez- guess that means his music will get even worse- success has been his enemy. he has changed many a life and has it made it now, i guess. good for him? maybe…probably not. maybe it means ms. portman will be a junkie now! that would be exciting! she needs it! then this story would be good. bye devendra…
omfg… she's dating devendra…lucky lucky bitch.

Gross, take a bath!
i wonder if she minds his heroin use? or perhaps hes gotten clean…AGAIN.
you guys have no idea what an amazingly honest,nice and creative person he is.
go portman.
How many different guys has she dated in the last year? Every time I read something about her shes with some other guy. Are they just flings or are any of them real?
Dude, Devendra Banhart's a talented beast. And he is gorgeous…Even when he's totally stoned and wearing a dress (has anyone seen the homemade Beck video for "Strange Apparition"? Brilliant!)
HEY PEREZ. MAYBE YOU SHOULD TRY LISTENING TO HIS MUSIC. ITS AMAZING.
Devendra is actually really hot when he's not so bearded. And a little bisexualish. Plus, his music is amazing.
What the hell? This guy wrote a song about marrying little boys. He's a douche. Ever see him in an interview? He's a total pseudo-intellectual, poop-talkin' wankstain!
Re: hobie83 – His music isn't amazing. He's basically ripped off Bob Dylan's lyrics. He's as talented as my right butt cheek. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate good music, but this guy is so pretentious.
hes hot under all that beard
perez this is old news ….yet again you've managed to mooch your stories from other blogs a few weeks too late.
oh please. don't talk about devendra like no one's ever heard of him before
i mean, really?
UGLY!!!!
LET ME GUESS IS HE JEW?? HE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE PURE AMERICAN!
I DON'T CARE HIS SHITTY MUSIC, OF IF HE IS CLEVER OR WHATEVER, HE IS UGLY AND HE DRESSES LIKE SHIT!!
GO GET A HAIR CUT MONKEY!!

for shame. you should know who devendra is. and he's awesome btw.
this guy has a new fan - me! good stuff.
F'in disgusting; Nat is a lesbian in closet if she is with this douche.
Re: EWWW! – wow dude you're pathetic and quite ignorant to automatically assume he is jewish. just because someone has long hair doesn't mean they're jewish. before you have the audacity to start bashing on someone why don't you go AT LEAST wiki them. prick.
he is venezuelan, 'kay? tyvm!
devendra is more sexy then any of the other dudes you get on this site.. i've seen him live and he is the fucking awesome in every way. If this relationship does anything it should open all your eyes to the beautiful sound of devendra b.
Lay off the weed you guys!!! You can see the lit joint in the background if you watch the video from the link!
Do your homework Perez, this is pretty embarassing.
Devendra Banhart is a fantastic musician…whereas most of mainstream music is really, really crappy. He's an artist among all the puppets. Don't "diss" him.
hum … i just adore boys with lon hairs. My man has it longer than i (to the Thigh ) and …. i fully understand her ! he's too cute !
Actually he looks almost sexy in that music video. I just wish he shaved off his beard - he has a nice face with strong features, there is no need to hide it. By the way, you could have found more appealing pic of Devendra - I'm sure you did that on purpose, Perez.
PLEASE don't hate on devendra.
It's an unflattering pic angle. He is sweet and really cute. He could use a trim i guess but our style is what makes us individuals. He's got the balls to be different and it earned him a hot girlfriend. kudos
He's actually very talented and has been around for awhile….he was actually living on the streets of San Fran many years back…as long as she's happy
Dude, Devendra is a hottie - definitely.
And he is an AMAZING song writer. He is looking a little "overly hairy" recently, but underneath the bush hes got looks of a god. believe me.
Gael Garcia Bernal is friends with Banhart and sings on his latest album. Wonder if they're still friends? Bros before hos?
