Jessica Alba revealed a major realization in her life when she couldn’t stop her tears. In conversation with People Magazine, the actress shared that when she got to know that her 16-year-old daughter had grown taller than her, Alba started to sob.

In her conversation with the media portal, Alba went on to become nostalgic over a picture that she took of Honor and herself during the pandemic. The actress shared, "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!’” 

The Fantastic Four actress recalled, "He was like, ‘Yes, she is... Stand back-to-back,’ and he took this photo, and I just started crying."

The actress remembered telling her daughter, “‘Oh my God, you’re taller than me.’ Look, I’m getting teary just thinking of it." Alba said the reason behind her tears was the realization that her kids had grown up so quickly. 

On the same lines, the actress stated, "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.”

Alba said,  "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!"
