This month's issue of Parenting magazine features actress Jessica Alba on it's cover and the star couldn't be happier. Though she's usually in the public eye for being a sex symbol, for the last few years she's been famous for being a mother on-the-go. Alba and her two daughters, Honor and Haven, appear in a the mag's photoshoot. The star spoke about the paparazzi and how she explains the presence of photogs to her kids:

When the paparazzi follow us, and she asks me what they're doing, I tell her, 'They're just taking pictures. Isn't that silly? I don't want her to have anxiety, so I tell her they do that to everyone, not just our family.

The actress also revealed how motherhood has altered her life. While she was once focused on film roles, her priorities have since shifted:

Before I had kids, I was always so focused on my career, and it was always such a big thing for me, she explains. That's probably the thing that's surprised me the most about motherhood - just how secondary everything else is. Nothing else really matters to me aside from my children and their well-being.

Though she's a busy woman who's balancing a career and taking care of children, she still manages to wow on the red carpet. Here are her 10 hottest red carpet looks!
