Jessica Alba says motherhood helped her embrace her sexuality
It’s hard to imagine Jessica Alba having any insecurities, particularly about her body, but the celebrity mom of two opened up in her newest blog for iVillage, how becoming a mother helped her see things in a different light.
Jessica penned, “It’s really amazing how your perspective shifts and your definition of sexy evolves once you become a mother. Before having Honor [almost 4] and Haven [9 months], I was super-critical of my looks and worried more about inevitable changes to my body. I couldn’t even say the word “sexy” to describe myself without feeling funny and awkward.”

However, with motherhood came confidence, she says, writing,”But becoming a mom has definitely made me feel more confident and secure than I ever did in my 20s. Even though I can’t ever get down to my pre-baby weight before having Honor, my jeans don’t zip up the same way, and things just hang differently (all moms know how that goes!), I feel completely comfortable in my skin and my idea of perfection has changed.”

She added, “Having babies also helped me embrace my sexuality. Up until then, I was quite shy about it. But once I experienced how incredible and amazing it was to create a life, it was empowering. Now, I feel freer to express myself and just be me. Through motherhood I really came into my own and, for me, feeling sexy is all about this type of comfort, confidence, and true happiness.”
