Jessica Alba’s daughter had a rude awakening when she discovered her mother’s fame.
Alba, who is a mother of three – Honor, 12, Haven, 9, and Hayes, 3 – paid a virtual visit to The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Friday. During her appearance, Alba talked about her three young children and how she had to explain her celebrity status to her oldest son.
Guest presenter tWitch asked the 39-year-old star if her children know “how cool and important” she is, but she admitted that her children think she is “so modest”.
“They think I’m the most cringey mom, I’m the definition of cringey. In fact, they said I should use #CringeyMom,” explained Alba. “I’m like, ‘This is so cruel.’ I’m like, ‘There’s a lot more grumpy moms than me, guys’, and they’re like,’ Even saying that, mom, is bad. “

“I remember when Honor was in the first grade, she was mortified and came home, she said, ‘Why didn’t you tell me?'”, Recalled the actress. “I was like, ‘What?'” Because she knew I was working at The Honest Company, right, that’s how they met me. She was like, ‘You never told me you’d be at the supermarket or Target.’ “
