"They went on a shopping trip to the posh upstate New York town of Hudson, and at the Jonathan Hallam antiques store, Benjamin fell in love with a beautiful photo of some ballerinas. He adored this iconic Philippe Halsman print of eight ballerinas posing on a beach," an insider explained to Life & Style magazine. "From the store, [Natalie] rang her art dealer, who said it was a great investment and she should buy it. The price, $900, was fantastic too."

Natalie reportedly didn't waste any time in snapping up the print for her beau. The 29-year-old beauty rushed to take out the cash in order to purchase the Halsman photo.

"She was so excited to buy it for, she ran to the local bank to take out $900 in cash to pay for the piece," the insider added. "Benjamin was so happy!" (C) Cover Media
