Jessica Alba on pregnancy: I never felt less sexy
Angelina Jolie may love being pregnant, but not everyone in Hollywood is similarly gushing.
“I never felt less sexy,” Jessica Alba says of her own pregnancy. “I mean, I wouldn’t have changed it for the world … but I wanted to get rid of all the weight.”
The actress, who gave birth to her daughter, Honor Marie, last month, opened up about motherhood – and her recent wedding to Cash Warren – in the August U.K. edition of Cosmopolitan magazine.
“I never thought I’d find a man before 30, let alone marry him and have his baby,” she told the magazine. “I always used to meet the wrong guys – the ones who wanted to hang out for a week and see how far they could get. If you didn’t have sex in the first few days, you were either frigid or a lesbian. So I held out – and, boy, am I glad I did!”
As for her no-frills wedding at the Beverly Hills courthouse, Alba insisted the hush-hush ceremony was “very romantic.” And she had no desire for an over-the-top, celebrity-studded ceremony.
“We’re not a typical Hollywood couple,” she said. “I love that he’s not an actor. I’m way too high maintenance to be in a relationship with an actor – they’re all such divas!”
Warren has also been instrumental in keeping Alba grounded during her rapid transformation into wife and mother.
“Nothing was planned – the pregnancy or the wedding,” she admitted. “But he took it in his stride and convinced me we’d conquer all!”
