Los Angeles, Sep 17 (IANS): Actress Natalie Portman and her husband Benjamin Millepied, who flew out to Turks and Caicos in the West Indies earlier this month for a romantic break, took 15-month-old Aleph with them.

They reportedly wanted their baby with them on their holiday because they would have missed him too much.

"This break was very precious to them, even though it was brief. It's typical of them even their honeymoon was a whirlwind," digitalspy.co.uk quoted a source as saying.

"They used the time to be together. No work, no business calls. Natalie and Ben are the hardest working people.

"Even before the baby came along, they were non-stop so you can imagine how exhausted they've been since Aleph was born," added the source.

The couple got married in August this year in an intimate Jewish ceremony.

The family reportedly spent a lot of time relaxing on the beach, as well as chatting to other holiday-makers.

"They made silly faces to make Aleph laugh and they all looked like they couldn't have been happier. Natalie and Benjamin enjoyed a romantic moment as they headed out towards the horizon together. They just kept kissing and looked really in love," said the source.
