Natalie Portman and Austin Swift Spark Buzz After NYC Sighting
So here’s something that had both Taylor Swift fans and celebrity watchers buzzing this week—Oscar-winning actress Natalie Portman was spotted hanging out in New York City with none other than Austin Swift, Taylor Swift’s younger brother. Yeah, that one surprised a lot of people too. Many Swifties didn’t even realize Taylor had a brother, and now he’s casually photographed chatting it up with Natalie Portman in Tribeca? Naturally, the internet exploded.
Now, before the rumor mill runs wild, let’s unpack what actually happened. According to photos shared by People , Austin and Natalie were seen casually standing around on a NYC sidewalk in July 2025, sharing a laugh with a small group of people. Natalie was dressed low-key in denim shorts and a black tee, while Austin rocked a flannel and dark pants. It didn’t look overly romantic—just a friendly vibe—but it was enough to get folks talking.

So, what’s the connection between Natalie Portman and Austin Swift? Turns out Natalie is currently in New York shooting a film called Good Sex , written by Lena Dunham. And Lena just happens to be a longtime friend of Taylor Swift. In fact, it was Lena who pitched the film idea to Natalie at a Taylor Swift concert during the Eras Tour in London. Lena even gave a shout-out to Taylor for making the intro happen, saying “She brings everyone together.” So, it looks like Austin and Natalie might’ve met through mutual connections—and that NYC sighting may just have been a friendly hangout among creative circles.
As for Austin himself, while he stays mostly out of the spotlight, he's got a solid resume. He's worked as both an actor and a producer. You might’ve seen him in films like Live By Night , Braking for Whales , or even Taylor's music video for “I Bet You Think About Me,” which he produced. Most recently, he was linked to model Sydney Ness, and they were last seen together at the Super Bowl in 2024. There's been no official word of a breakup, so it’s unclear whether he and Sydney are still an item—but his appearance with Portman is definitely raising eyebrows.
Also, for anyone still shocked that Taylor Swift has a brother—yes, she does, and they’ve actually been to events together before. She even called him one of her “best pals” on National Sibling Day a few years back. So while it might be news to some, Austin Swift has been quietly orbiting the spotlight for a while.
Whether this new Portman-Swift moment turns into anything more or just stays a casual connection, one thing’s for sure—it’s got people talking.
