The Oscar winner kept her little one on her lap the entire meal, feeding him a few bites and waiting for him to fall asleep before she began eating her own meal, a salad.
An onlooker tells PEOPLE Portman was "doting on him the entire time."
In the Sir Paul McCartney-directed video for his song, "My Valentine," Depp and Portman majorly flub up the lyrics with their hand gestures.
Deaf music fans pointed out to Spinner that Depp makes the motion for the word "enemy" while attempting "valentine." Oops.
As for Portman's snafu?
While attempting to sign the word "appear," she actually makes the motion for "tampon." Depp also makes this error.
But a spokesperson for The British Deaf Association gives the actors an "A" for effort. "It would have been nice if genuine deaf people had been used. But it's still great," the spokesperson said, noting that the performances were "more of a poetic expression" than a translation of McCartney's lyrics.
Having already teamed up last year on a Free the Children project, the actress is back for an encore—this time as an ambassador for the charity.
"As a mother and the organization's newest ambassador, I am grateful to Free the Children for giving me the opportunity to channel my passion and love of children into meaningful action that furthers the education and leadership of young women for years to come," Portman said in a statement released today. "I hope others join me in supporting this important cause."
It was also announced that Portman has partnered with Dior—she's currently the face of the brand's Miss Dior Cherie fragrance campaign—with proceeds from the sale of the company's newest Rouge Dior lipstick to go to Free the Children in support of its Scholarships for Girls' Secondary Education in Kenya program.
Wolf created two diamond rings for Portman, made to fit on either side of her engagement ring, and a platinum band for Millepied. Both baubles are eco-friendly, made with recycled metals and conflict-free diamonds.
Wolf, one of Millepied’s dancer pals, designed Portman’s engagement ring, as well. “Ben was exceptionally thoughtful and dedicated and patient to make sure we had everything right,” she said shortly after the actress debuted the sparkler last year.
That ring, made of recycled platinum and featuring an antique diamond surrounded by certified conflict-free stones, was designed to fit in with Portman’s earth-friendly lifestyle. Said Wolf, “We wanted everything about the ring to speak to things that are important to Natalie.”
The Black Swan beauty was newly-engaged and pregnant when she celebrated her Best Actress Oscar win at last year's ceremony, and now, a year on, it appears the famously-private couple is man and wife.
Portman wore a new piece of jewellery beneath her diamond engagement ring as she presented the Best Actor prize to The Artist's Jean Dujardin, while Frenchman Millepied displayed a simple silver band on his left hand as they attended the official Oscars afterparty.
A representative for Portman had yet to respond to requests for a comment as WENN went to press.
The actress gave birth to the couple's son, Alef, in June.
The "force" was still with George Lucas, as the first part in the six-episode fantasy series racked up $1.1 million in midnight showings on Friday.
The film, considered the weakest by fans of the franchise, is nevertheless on track to have a strong weekend. It debuted in 1,300 screens in its late night showings and will expand to 2,655 locations.
"The Phantom Menace" will likely fall short of the more than $30 million generated by the 3D re-release of "The Lion King" last fall, but it should gross north of $20 million over the weekend.
Also showing some muscle, and appealing to slightly different chromosomes, was "The Vow." The romantic drama grossed $700,000 in midnight shows.
Starring Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams, the Sony film should generate over $30 million this weekend.
Not to be outdone, Denzel Washington's latest thriller "Safe House" debuted at midnight to a solid $543,000 at 1,034 locations. It too should find itself north of the $20 million mark when the weekend ends.
A few more weekends like this and last winter's horrific box office slump will seem like it took place in a galaxy far, far away.
So will fanboys return to the big screen? We're thinking, duh. Lucky for them, this is one droid-filled production with no crammed-in new scenes, at least one much-needed alteration and plenty of reasons to feel The Force one more time.
So get those 3-D specs on! Here are five great reasons to check out this Menace:
1. The Podrace: Lucas didn't want the 3-D to be about just tossing womp rats off the screen. We understand the desire to give depth and not just cheap gimmicks, but whatever! Anakin's high-speed deathrace across Tatooine is made for comin'-at-ya excitement.
2. Darth Maul's Double-Sided Lightsaber: The Jedi-on-Sith duels totally pop with richer color and more dangerous blades. Even baddie Maul's dark hoodie gets a thrill upgrade.
3. Space Battles Get More...Space: Phantom has a climax (spoiler alert, from a long time ago) with not one but four epic battles all at the same time. The sight of the endless droid army invading poor, peaceful planet Naboo overwhelms the senses, no matter how many pairs of glasses you're wearing. Trumped only by Anakin's assault on that donut-shaped death star thing.
4. Natalie Portman's Many Wardrobe Changes: Look closely, cosplay gals, and maybe you'll be able to see if Queen Amidala's outfits—constantly switched in between all her political debates and subtle subterfuge—are made of satin or conflict-free cotton.
5. Yoda Looks Alive Again: If Lucas ever replaced the Frank Oz Muppet marvel from The Empire Strikes Back, we would flip out like a certain green Jedi master did in Attack of the Clones. But in the original Phantom Menace, surrounded by computer-generated everything, the puppet looked just plain weird. So this is the first time (well, in theaters, at least) you can see the now-CG Yoda.
But none of that really beats seeing the opening crawl, with the giant words STAR WARS floating through space...in 3-D!
Have you seen it yet? Will you?
The network has picked up a one-hour drama based on the 1978 Judith Krantz novel "Scruples." Portman is attached to executive-produce, along with Tony Krantz and Annette Savitch.
The project, which comes via Flame Ventures LLC and Warner Bros. Television, is billed as a "sexy soap set in the late 1970s" that "follows a socialite who, following the death of her husband, seeks to open a fashion forward boutique in the heart of Beverly Hills."
The Krantz novel spawned both a sequel, "Scruples Two," and a 1980 miniseries starring Lindsay Wagner, Barry Bostwick, Kim Cattrall and Connie Stevens.
The movie website released the list, which is based on the number of views received by actors' profile pages, on Tuesday.
"Pirates of the Caribbean" star, who is now No. 3, had held the No. 1 perch for six of the past seven years.
"The Help" actress Emma Stone is No. 4.
"Thor" actor Chris Hemsworth -- the only man to appear in the top 10 for the first time -- is No. 5.
Next up is "Cowboys & Aliens" actress Olivia Wilde at No. 6, followed by Jennifer Lawrence, the Oscar-nominated star of "Winter's Bone," at No. 7. Lawrence cracked the top 100 for the first time this year.
George Clooney, who has received Golden Globe and SAG Award nominations for his starring role in "The Descendants," is at No. 8.
Rounding out the list are "Drive" star Ryan Gosling and Christian Bale, whose upcoming film "The Dark Knight Rises" is due July 20.
The number of women on this year's list -- five -- is two more than the number on the 2010 list.
For the first time in four years, no "Twilight" actors are on the IMDb list -- despite "Breaking Dawn -- Part 1" being one of the highest-grossing movies of the year.
Kristen Stewart, who was No. 2 on last year's list, fell to No. 12. Robert Pattinson, who topped the list in 2009 and came in third in 2010, dropped to #26.
IMDb Managing Editor Keith Simanton chalked up Portman's topping of the list to her Best Actress Oscar for "Black Swan" and roles in three films in 2011: "No Strings Attached," "Your Highness" and "Thor."
Additionally, Portman was a regular fixture in the tabloids this year, as she had a baby boy in June.
As for Kunis, the "Friends With Benefits" actress's No. 2 spot was perhaps boosted by her attendance at a Marine Corps Ball in November, Simanton said. While stationed in Afghanistan, the soldier asked out Kunis through a video on YouTube.
Both Sheen and the stuff he says runs through his veins made Twitter's list of hot topics for 2011. Sheen, who had a busy year after being fired from Two and a Half Men, is listed as the No. 1 most talked about actor, followed by Macaulay Culkin, Ryan Dunn and Ricky Gervais. His Two and a Half Men replacement, Ashton Kutcher, also made the top 10, landing at No. 8. (#tigerblood is listed as the second most talked about hashtag of the year.)
Two and a Half Men itself was the second most talked about TV topic behind No. 1 ranked Pretty Little Liars. Rounding out the top 5 for television are The Craigslist Killer, Golden Globe Awards and People's Choice Awards.
On the movie front, Thor came out on top, followed by The Dark Knight Rises (which will be released July 2012), X-Men: First Class, Fast Five and Green Hornet.
Elizabeth Taylor, who passed away in March, topped the most-discussed actresses list. Among the others in the top 10 were Black Swan castmates Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman, along with Harry Potter's Emma Watson and The Vampire Diaries' Nina Dobrev.
Despite gaining notoriety as one of the worst songs of the year, Rebecca Black and her tune "Friday" landed at the top of the music list, followed by the likes of Nate Dogg, Gerry Rafferty and Gil Scott-Heron.
Are you surprised by the topics that made the list?
And by special way, we mean putting their face on a new postage stamp series.
All right, we may joke, but this is kind of a big deal.
After all, we learned how serious this was when Rev. Al Sharpton was pushing to get some commemorative Michael Jackson stamps made after the King of Pop's death in 2009, which led to the information that there would be a five-year waiting period (sheesh!).
But now, along with The Simpsons, vegetarian stars like Natalie Portman, Ellen DeGeneres, Steve-O and Paul McCartney might be gracing the upper corner of your envelopes.
While the Black Swan star has been focusing all her time and energy over the last five months on her little boy, Aleph, the new mom has decided to flex her acting muscle a bit.
So what exactly is she doing?
Portman will be participating in a live reading of the 1960 Billy Wilder film The Apartment.
The event, hosted by director Jason Reitman at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art this Friday, will find Portman taking on the Shirley MacLaine-originated role of Fran Kubelik.
Joining the Oscar winner onstage will be J.K. Simmons, Ken Jeong, Jake Johnson, Nick Kroll and Mindy Kaling.
A very pregnant Jennifer Garner did a similar reading of The Breakfast Club at LACMA last month.

Natalie Portman and fiancé Benjamin Millepied, who reside in New York City, have already taken their 4-month-old son on a tour of Paris, and now he's getting a look at sunny California.
The Oscar-winning actress, 30, held tight to Aleph, who was dressed for fall in a green onesie, out to a friend's home in Hollywood on Thursday.
The blue-eyed kid, who was born in June, was named for the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet.
His parents met while filming ballerina thriller Black Swan.
While last week brought us our first glimpse of Natalie Portman's pride and joy in Paris last week—new son Aleph—we still hadn't managed to catch a glimpse of this cutie pie's mug.
Well, the full coo factor was unveiled in Geneva this week, when we finally felt the full force of this 3-month-old's adorableness.
Cameras caught the sleepy little tyke while he was out with his beaming Oscar-winning mama and papa Benjamin Millepied. We'd call him a future heartbreaker, but we think he's already there.
Nearly three months after his arrival on this planet, Aleph finally made his first public appearance on Thursday.
The bundle of joy's mommy, Natalie Portman, was seen taking him out of his stroller in Paris as the two prepared for a little shopping excursion around the City of Light.
And it looks like we're also getting a pretty nice glimpse of the Oscar winner's engagement ring, too!
A baby and some bling. Not a bad way to end the work week.
In preparation for the lesbian kissing, Jones tells Access Hollywood she got advice from Natalie Portman, who recently had some lesbian kissing scenes of her own for her Oscar-winning role in "Black Swan."
"I'm friends with Natalie and I asked her [what to expect]," says Rashida. "She was like, 'Dude, it's awkward to make out with your friends - I'm just warning you right now. It's super awkward!"
So how did it shake out for Rashida and Zooey?
"It was totally fun," says Rashida. "I mean, it was slightly awkward, only because Zooey and I have known each other for a long time. It's kind of weird to kiss your friends. But, you know, she's so pretty - she doesn't make it that hard!"
"I should give [Zooey] a name, right?" adds Rashida. "I would just call her 'Softy.' She's soft... very soft."
"Our Idiot Brother" is playing in theaters now nationwide.
The Oscar-winning actress, who welcomed her son Aleph in June, has reportedly been in informal talks for the lead role in the indie drama Adaline.
The film follows the story of a woman who was born at the turn of the 20th century but does not age since being in an accident. After living her life alone, she meets a man that may be worth giving up her immortality.
Angela Lansbury also stars, according to the report.
Portman, 30, won an Academy Award last year for her role as a mentally unstable ballerina in Black Swan – and met her choreographer fiancé Benjamin Millepied while working on the film.
Since giving birth to son Aleph in June, Natalie Portman has been lying low, just as she promised she would.
But on Thursday, the Oscar winner – who appears to have lost much of her baby weight – and her dog Whiz stepped out for the first time together since Aleph's arrival.
The pair kept their heads down as they walked the New York City streets in near darkness. Portman's newly slim frame stayed hidden under a loose oxford and sweatpants, but the actress added a touch of star power to her casual ensemble with some oversize sunglasses.
It’s a project about a woman who was born at the turn of the 20th century. An accident renders her ageless, and after years of a solitary life, she meets a man who may be worth giving up her immortality. Angela Lansbury co-stars.
Steve Golin, Sidney Kimmel, Alix Madigan, Gary Lucchesi, and Tom Rosenberg are producing.
Production companies backing the project are Anonymous Content, Sidney Kimmel Entertainment, Sierra Pictures and Lakeshore Entertainment. Summit is distributing domestically.
Portman’s manager wasn’t available for comment.
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.

The report did not say where or when the birth took place, and there was no immediate comment from Portman's publicist.
Portman, who turned 30 last Thursday, announced in December that she was pregnant and planned to marry her boyfriend, French ballet dancer and choreographer Benjamin Millepied.
The two worked together on "Black Swan," in which Portman played a self-mutilating ballerina. She won the Academy Award for her performance in February.
The Israeli-born, New York-raised actress rose to fame playing the preteen protegee of a hitman in "The Professional," and appeared in the "Star Wars" reboots as Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia's mother. She was most recently in theaters with the romantic comedy "No Strings Attached."
In reality, there's still a way to go before the law catches up to common sense, and Natalie Portman is the latest star to throw her weight behind helping make that happen.
The Oscar winner and mama-to-be (any week now, people!) have joined up with the now 100,000 people and counting on Freedom to Marry's "I Do" open letter calling on President Obama to declare his support of marriage equality.
"Natalie Portman and her fiancé, Benjamin Millepied, are in love and believe all loving couples should be able to share in the freedom to marry without discrimination," Evan Wolfson, the organization's president, said.
"That is why they are joining the more than 100,000 people on Freedom to Marry's Say 'I Do' open letter calling on the president to do the right thing and become part of America's majority for marriage."
The campaign was launched in March, and celebrities and equality-loving citizens alike quickly joined forces to make their voices heard.
"Freedom to Marry's goal is to end the exclusion of same-sex couples from marriage once and for all," the organization states. "Drawing on the history of other social justice movements in the United States, we know that victory will ultimately come from persuading either Congress or the Supreme Court to end marriage discrimination.
"To achieve that victory, we must secure the freedom to marry in a critical mass of states and [gain] majority support across the country."
In addition to Portman and Millepied, star signers include Anne Hathaway, Jane Lynch, Martin Sheen, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia DeRossi, Eric McCormack, Lily Tomlin, Melissa Etheridge, LeAnn Rimes, Mya and Rufus Wainright.
