Moby has spoken out about his past relationship with Natalie Portman, admitting it’s still ‘hard for me to make sense’ of her negative comments about their alleged romance.
Background on the Alleged Relationship
Moby, 60, claimed in his 2019 memoir, Then It Fell Apart, that he dated the actress in 1999 when he was 33 and she was 18. However, Portman denied his claim, saying, “I was surprised to hear that he characterized the very short time that I knew him as dating because my recollection is a much older man being creepy with me.”
Moby’s Reflection on the Relationship
In a recent interview with The Times, Moby admitted, “It’s hard for me to make sense of it.” He also acknowledged that the incident seemed like a “sour episode between two people who seem decent,” and said, “In so far as I’m capable of perspective on that, I don’t disagree with what you’re saying.”
Portman’s Previous Comments on the Relationship
Portman previously recalled meeting Moby when she was a fan attending one of his concerts, and said, “When we met after the show, he said, ‘Let’s be friends.’ He was on tour and I was working shooting a film, so we only hung out a handful of times before I realized that this was an older man who was interested in me in a way that felt inappropriate.”
Moby’s Apology and Current Projects
Moby issued an apology to Portman a few days after her denial, saying it was “truly inconsiderate of me to not let her know about her inclusion in the book beforehand, and equally inconsiderate for me to not fully respect her reaction.” He also addressed the age gap between him and Portman, saying, “I absolutely should’ve acted more responsibly and respectfully when Natalie and I first met almost 20 years ago.” Moby recently released his 23rd studio album, Future Quiet, and will perform at the 2026 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April, followed by international tour dates through August, as reported by The Times.
