Jessica Alba balances two big “H’s” in her life with grace — Honor Marie, her 3-year-old daughter with husband Cash Warren, and Hollywood.

“After I had Honor I didn’t leave the house for a while,” Alba, 30, tells Latina‘s August issue.

“It was all about changing diapers and feedings and still trying to get back in to the routine of my [acting] thing. I love what I do. But unless it’s worth it, I’m not going to spend time away from my daughter.”

“Before I had her, work was all I had,” the actress notes. “Now it’s not.”

Natalie Portman’s Son’s Name Revealed: Aleph

Natalie Portman and fiancé Benjamin Millepied get an A-plus for the name they picked for their baby boy.

Their son’s name is Aleph, a source confirms to PEOPLE.

So what’s in a name? Aleph is the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, much like alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet. Aleph is the number 1 in Hebrew and can also be spelled “alef.”

Its esoteric meaning in Judaic Kabbalah, as denoted in the theological treaty Sefer-ha-Bahir, relates to the origin of the universe, the “primordial one that contains all numbers.”

Portman, 30, met choreographer Millepied on the set of Black Swan, for which she later won an Oscar for Best Actress.
