Pregnancy before marriage is different than being a virgin. I don't expect every 20 year old to a be nun or a hermit. I know it's (almost) 2011, but I don't think its old fashioned to marry first, then get pregnant.
Actually, that is old fashioned. There are plenty of women who have children nowadays before getting married. More and more young people see marriage as something archaic. If it's not for religious, financial or legal reasons, then what else is left. Tradition? I would never do something just because everyone else before me did it.
Who knows whether these two planned to have a baby together or if it was an accident. It's hard to believe it was an accident though. Portman's no Lindsay Lohan. She comes across as someone who's more mature and responsible. So if it was planned, then you'd think she would only do that if she was planning to raise the child with him anyway. Two people don't need to be married in order to be good parents. So if he's marrying her because he got her pregnant, that's probably not the best reason to marry someone.
So I just read that Natalie Portman is pregnant and engaged. She's also expected to win an Oscar for Best Actress. So 2011 should be a good year for her. Marriage, baby, Oscar. Stop me if this sounds familiar. Halle Berry, Reese Witherspoon, Kate Winslet, Hillary Swank. What do they all have in common? All got divorced shortly after their big wins. Hmm.
Don't forget about Sandra.
Well she's not married yet is she? She definitely deserves something for her role in Black Swan, hopefully the heart-break/divorce curse doesn't get her.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Sandra Bullock. But then, who didn't see that divorce coming?

I think family pressure is part of it. In many parts of the country, if you came home pregnant (and not married!), you would definitely hear about it Some families and communities are more traditional.

Yeah, I couldn't help noticing the timing of it all. This is usually when actors start campaigning for awards while claiming they're not campaigning. But a pregnancy and engagement sure do have a way of keeping you in the headlines and fresh on the minds of people who vote on awards. I'm not saying she got pregnant to win an Oscar. But publicity is a big part of winning and anything that draws good press helps. I never figured Portman to be the type who'd buy into the big Hollywood machine, but I guess you have to if you want to succeed there.

so this woman is going to put up with morning sickness, gaining a ton of weight, wacked out hormones and for 9months and then squeeze a watermellon out of her boinker so she'll increase her odds of getting an award?
I'm not even a woman but....
maybe she just got pregnant. It happens.
