Oscar-winning actress Natalie Portman has revealed the name she prepared for her baby. The boy was named Alef. She and her fiance, choreographer Benjamin Millepied, have named their first child after the first letter in the Hebrew alphabet.
According to Israeli TV Show Good Evening with Guy Pines, the Jewish actress decided to pay homage to her motherland with the moniker, which also means the “oneness of God”.
Meanwhile, the couple have decided their son will have both their last names with the surname Portman-Millepied.
Prior to the birth of baby Alef, Natalie admitted her Jewish ancestry caused her to be “superstitious”. “I think it’s a Jewish thing to be kind of superstitious. You don’t do any of the baby stuff before the baby arrives,” she said.
