Jessica Alba Details Her Approach to Raising Kids in the Spotlight
“It allowed them to not feel like they were being attacked every time we leave the house,” she told host Jenny McCarthy.
Being a celebrity means constant exposure — for you and your family.
Jessica Alba explained how she taught her daughters, Haven and Honor, from a young age not to be scared by the mob of paparazzi following them around Hollywood.
“The way I always kind of approached it was with them — certainly in the beginning — was like, it happens to everyone, it’s not a big deal, and I would never get anxious or angry in front of them around it,” she said Thursday on “The Jenny McCarthy Show.”
Alba continued, “I just kind of acted like, ‘Hey, this happens to everyone, it’s kind of annoying, you know.’ And that’s it. So they never really felt any anxiety about it because I knew I couldn’t prevent it from happening, and it allowed them to not feel like they were being attacked every time we leave the house.”
“The Jenny McCarthy Show” airs weekdays from 10am–12pm ET on Stars.
