“I remember saying, ‘Oh my God, you’re taller than me,'” she recalled as she imitated herself crying. “Look, I’m crying just thinking about it.”

The Fantastic Four the actress said the reason for her tears was watching her “baby” grow so fast before her eyes. “It was so horrible,” she said, “because it’s like this is my baby, how is she taller than me? That was a hard pill to swallow.”

“You don’t really understand time until you watch a little person become a blob who can’t talk or do anything useful except look cute, and then they grow up to be people with opinions,” she added. “And they tell you, ‘Oh no mom, you can’t plan my 16th birthday.’ What do you mean? I gave birth to you, this is also my birthday!” Alba joked.

In addition to Honor and Haven, Alba is also the mother of son Hayes (6), whom she shares with her husband Cash Warren.
