Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied are taking another step in their union as it's been reported that the French dancer and choreographer is currently in the process of converting to Judaism.

The couple, who famously met on the set of Black Swan in 2009 and tied the knot in 2012, are residing in Israel with their 2-year-old son Aleph while the actress works on her directorial debut, A Tale of Love and Darkness.

Millepied, who revealed the news to local paper Yediot Acharonot this week, added in his conversion papers he's hoping the process can "come to an end soon and I will become a Jew."
