Can't assign ref in react native 79 to children

[itsnyx]

<PortalProvider>
        <Portal>
          <View
            ref={view}
            style={{flex: 1, backgroundColor: theme.background}}
          />
        </Portal>
      </PortalProvider>

console.log('view', view.current); outputs : LOG : view null
