Jessica Alba recently sat down to participate in PEOPLE’s “My Life in Pictures” series, and while going through photos, she got emotional when she spotted the photo of her 16-year-old daughter, Honor.
In the photo, Honor is taller than Alba, and that was a pretty emotional moment for the 42-year-old actress.
Okay, so it was during Covid and our friends were over, and it was kind of like they were about to have a baby, and he was like, ‘Honor’s taller than you’ and I was like ‘No she’s not!’ He was like, ‘Yes she is… Stand back-to-back,’ and he took this photo and I just started crying.
Obviously Alba doesn’t actually care if her daughter is taller than her, it’s more about what it represents. It’s the fact that her little baby is growing up.
You don’t really understand time until you watch a little person go from being just a blob who can’t talk or do anything useful except for just look cute, and then they grow up to be people with opinions. “And they tell you, ‘Oh no Mom, you cannot plan my 16th birthday.’ What do you mean? I birthed you, this is my birthday too.
The good news for Alba is that she has other kids who aren’t taller than her yet. She has a 12-year-old daughter named Haven and a 6-year-old named Hayes.
