Natalie Portman's Love Move 7/18/08

Actress Natalie Portman is snubbing her native New York and moving to America's west coast to be closer to her boyfriend, according to reports.

The 27-year-old star met rocker Devendra Banhart on the set of his music video in March (08) and the couple has been virtually inseparable ever since.

And now Portman is moving to California to spend more time with Banhart at his Malibu home. A source tells U.S.magazine Us Weekly, "He's funny, scary-smart and in love with her.

This is a serious one, and they seem to be in it for the long haul. I've never seen her so in love or connected to somebody. I definitely wouldn't be shocked if he popped the question (of marriage) soon."
