Aronofsky achieved further recognition in 2008 with The Wrestler, a character-driven drama starring Mickey Rourke as an aging professional wrestler grappling with personal and professional ruin. The film won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival and revitalized Rourke’s acting career. Rourke received an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor, and the film received widespread acclaim for its raw emotional depth and documentary-like realism.
With Black Swan, released in 2010, Aronofsky returned to psychological drama. Starring Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis, the film explored the mental disintegration of a ballet dancer consumed by ambition and self-doubt. Black Swan was both a critical and commercial success, earning five Academy Award nominations, including Best Director. Natalie Portman won the Oscar for Best Actress for her performance.

In 2016, Aronofsky dated actress Jennifer Lawrence after they collaborated on the film Mother!. The relationship ended in November 2017, reportedly due to differences in lifestyle and priorities.
