Jessica Alba: Motherhood Changes Everything

As one of Hollywood’s hottest actresses, Jessica Alba has learned to deal with pressure and scrutiny with the best of them.

But she says becoming a mother has fundamentally transformed every aspect of her life in a way she never imagined.

The “Good Luck Chuck” babe explained, “Having my daughter has certainly shifted my priorities. It’s all about giving her the best life possible, and that means finding that right balance between being hom and working when I can, rather than being so career-driven.”

As for her status as a sex symbol, Jess lamented, “It’s just a bizarre perspective that I have nothing to do with. I hang out with my friends and family and live a normal life — all the other stuff is very odd to me.”
