Aleph Millepied

Natalie Portman treated her son, Aleph Millepied, to a fun afternoon around Paris yesterday after spending Mother's Day weekend together in LA. She took her little one for a ride on a carrousel in the Jardin des Plantes followed by a stroll through a flowery park. The mother-son duo are getting comfortable in their home base of Paris, where they'll soon take up residence since Natalie's husband, Benjamin Millepied, acquired the position as the new director of dance at the Paris Opera Ballet beginning in September.

Natalie is fitting in quality time with Aleph before her work schedule picks up with new projects. She is currently signed on for Jane Got a Gun along with recently added costar Ewan McGregor, and she's also reportedly set to star as Lady Macbeth opposite Michael Fassbender in the big-screen adaptation of William Shakespeare's Macbeth.

Natalie Portman and her son, Aleph, visited a friend's home in LA on Friday. Natalie got to spend quality time with her almost 2-year-old boy ahead of Mother's Day yesterday. While Alpeh was the main man in her life on Friday, news recently broke that she has been assigned a new leading man on the big screen. Natalie is set to star in Jane Got a Gun, which is off to a troubled start, since both Jude Law and Bradley Cooper had already committed to playing the male lead, then decided drop out. It has been announced that Ewan McGregor is now in negotiations to take over.

Jane Got a Gun is not the only project in which Natalie has a hot costar lined up. She is also set to star as Lady Macbeth in the big-screen adaptation of William Shakespeare's Macbeth opposite Michael Fassbender. The film will be Natalie and Michael's second collaboration after the duo recently wrapped a Terrence Malick flick.

Natalie Portman and her husband, Benjamin Millepied, took their son, Aleph Millepied, for an afternoon out at Huntington Botanical Gardens in Pasadena on Saturday. It's a favorite stop for the Millepied-Portman clan — they've been there many times since relocating to the West Coast last year. Another move is ahead for the family of three. Benjamin will head the Paris Opera Ballet starting next year, and they'll all relocate to his native France for the job. Natalie's no stranger to working in France herself. She's the longtime face of the French brand Dior's makeup line, and she can be seen in their new ad for Diorshow mascara.

Natalie Portman took Aleph out for a walk in Beverly Hills yesterday. The actress carried her son as well as a hiking backpack loaded up with a water bottle. Natalie is fitting in some well-deserved family time after a busy year of shooting. She spent the past several months filming with Michael Fassbender for the still-untitled Terrence Malick project and the new Thor sequel with Chris Hemsworth. Her hard work has been paying off, since she was recently named one of Hollywood's best actors for the buck by Forbes magazine. Other actors that made the list include Oscar nominee Bradley Cooper and Kristen Stewart.

Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied treated their son, Aleph, to a sweet treat in Austin, TX, today. Natalie held tight to the 1-year-old, while Benjamin ordered some ice cream, which Aleph seemed to enjoy eating. Natalie and her family are in Texas while she films her current project, an untitled Terrence Malick movie, alongside Rooney Mara and Ryan Gosling. She was seen last week shooting a sexy scene with Michael Fassbender, who is also starring in the film.

While Natalie is juggling multiple movie roles, including a possible stint as Jackie Kennedy, Benjamin has been busy as well. The choreographer recently made a video for the LA band IO Echo, and spoke to The Independent about his and Natalie's initial plan to have "back-to-back" children, and their impending move to London later this year.

Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied took Aleph for an evening walk in Austin, TX, yesterday. The family of three stopped on the Congress Avenue Bridge, which houses one of the world's largest urban bat colonies. Thousands of bats fly out from under the bridge and across Lady Bird Lake at dusk, and Benjamin captured the show on his camera. Natalie is in Texas with her boys to film an untitled Terrence Malick movie. Her costars Ryan Gosling and Rooney Mara have already been in front of the cameras. Ryan took a break from work over the weekend, though, to spend time with his mom.

Natalie Portman brought her son, Aleph, to a community center in LA today. She spent the afternoon with her little one after logging time politicking yesterday. Natalie traveled to Cincinnati for an Obama event at the Cincinnati Museum Center, where she addressed a crowd of females about the importance of women's rights in the 2012 elections. Natalie's been especially active during the run-up to Nov. 6, having also spoken at an Obama event in Las Vegas in August. You too can play a part in this important national event — we're hosting a Q&A series with the first lady, so make sure to ask Michelle Obama a question that's important to you.

Natalie Portman wore a bikini while in Turks and Caicos with her husband, Benjamin Millepied, and their son Aleph last week. The family vacation came just a month after Natalie and Benjamin tied the knot in Big Sur. The trio hit the beach, played on the sand, and even rode on a sailboat during their sunny afternoon. Natalie wore a black bikini while Benjamin went shirtless. They've been making the West Coast their home base lately, though Natalie got away to Nevada for a special event supporting President Obama's reelection campaign in August. Natalie spoke about women's issues, but she wasn't able to show her support at the Democratic National Convention due to her tropical getaway.

Natalie Portman carried Aleph Millepied on her hip leaving leaving Culver City's Akasha restaurant yesterday. The pair smiled following a lunch date with Rashida Jones, and later in the day, they reportedly visited Benjamin Millepied at a downtown dance studio. Natalie and Benjamin wed in Big Sur earlier this month, and have since been enjoying time on the West Coast. Natalie was spotted taking meetings, and he's returned to choreography. The wedding was perfectly timed during a break in Natalie's schedule, as she recently wrapped Knight of Cups and is set to reprise her role as Jane Foster in the Thor sequel, Thor: The Dark World, very soon in the UK.

Natalie Portman touched down at JFK last night accompanied by her husband, Benjamin Millepied, son Aleph, and their pup, Whiz. The family of four have been on the go in recent weeks with trips to Paris and LA. Natalie shot a new Miss Dior fragrance campaign in France and traveled to the West Coast to shoot her latest feature, Knight of Cups. She's in high demand this Summer and is also set to start filming Thor 2 with Chris Hemsworth soon.

Natalie's not the only one who's been busy with work commitments. Benjamin recently put on a performance piece at LA's MOCA. Benjamin, and dance partner Amanda Wells, performed a 25-minute choreographed routine titled Framework in front of the museum's current Warhol exhibit.
