 Actress Natalie Portman has been keeping a very low profile since the birth of her baby boy earlier this month. So low, in fact, that not only have we not seen mom or babe, but we still don’t even know his name! 
 
 
 
 However, it seems the secret may be out… 
 
 
 
 A new article in Israel’s top daily newspaper reveals that Natalie and her fiancé Benjamin Millipied named their son Alef! 
 
 
 
 The first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, Alef (or Aleph) apparently also means leader. Though neither Natalie or Benjamin have commented on the report, the name was reportedly confirmed by the Oscar-winner’s cousin. 
 
 
 
 Natalie, whose real last name is Hershlag, was born in Jerusalem and lived in Israel until her family moved to the US when she was 3. She maintains dual citizenship and has said that though she “really love[s] the States… my heart’s in Jerusalem. That’s where I feel at home.” She also studied at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. 
 
 
 
 I guess we’ll have to wait for the official confirmation on this one, but until then… do you like the name Alef?

 It's the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet for Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied's baby son, Aleph. According to an Israeli TV Show , 'Good Evening with Guy Pines' (via HollywoodLife ) Portman, who was born in Israel, paid homage to her motherland by naming her son after the letter 'A' in the Hebrew alphabet.Aleph was born in mid-June but the newborn's first-time parents kept his name under wraps until letting it slip on the Israeli talk show. Baby Alef already calls one of the most talented women in Hollywood 'mom' and now he also has to live up to his lofty name -- Alef represents the "oneness of God" and the element of air. 

 Oscar-winning actress Natalie Portman has held strong on ensuring privacy for her newborn baby boy. 
 
 Things are so undercover, we haven't even been able to catch a glimpse of him since his birth in early June! 
 
 She has also yet to reveal his name, but we think we may have finally found it out. 
 
 According to her cousin, the Hollywood babe's name is Alef! 
 
 Yep, Alef. 
 
 Though it isn't confirmed, we're betting it's true since beginning a name with an 'A' means 'to be a leader.' 
 
 That Natalie! Always one to be original, huh? 
 
 Aww, we're sure little Alef is adorbz. Now if only she'll bring him out so we can all see just how adorable!
