It was under wraps since she gave birth to her new baby boy, but a Israeli television show found out and reportedly revealed the name to be Alef Portman-Millepied — taking both her maiden and her fiancé Benjamin Millepied’s last name.

Alef is in reference to the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet and also means leader.

The ”Good Evening with Guy Pines” show didn’t get confirmation from the two Black Swan actors but it’s believed Portman’s cousin confirmed the news. HuffPost also appears to have gotten a tip of the Alef moniker last month but couldn’t confirm.

Portman was born in Jerusalem and moved with her parents to New York when she was 3 years old. She’s a dual citizen of Israel and the United States.
