Jessica Alba Explains Why Her Parenting Mistakes Are “None of Your D*mn Business”

Desiree O
Mar 15, 2018

Jessica Alba is now the proud mother of three children: nine-year-old Honor Marie Warren, six-year-old Haven Garner Warren, and three-month-old Hayes Alba Warren. And while she’s currently basking in the bliss of motherhood, she’s also reminding the public that being a parent isn’t something that one can perfect — and, that where it comes to her mistakes, she doesn’t feel the need to share the nitty-gritty of her experiences with the world.

“I don’t have it together at all,” Alba admitted in the latest issue of Redbook magazine. And while she’s fully willing to own up to the fact that she’s not 100 percent on top of things every moment of the day, she doesn’t feel compelled to point out every misstep she takes to her vast social media following.

“I just don’t need to use social media as therapy and tell everyone, ‘Today I f*cked up as a mom,'” she joked. “It’s none of your damn business.”

The 36-year-old continued by saying that she doesn’t judge those who are vocal about their parenting mistakes, but reiterated that it’s simply not her thing, saying, “I’m fine if people want to air their dirty laundry online, but people know enough about me.”

This also doesn’t mean that Alba is trying to hide her slip-ups; she just keeps them within her inner circle. She explained, “I make mistakes all the time. Sometimes when I get together with my friends, we’ll reflect on how we’ve made similar good and bad decisions. It’s like, ‘Yeah, that was humbling.’ Then you move on and have a glass of wine.”

Do you share your parenting mistakes (or mistakes in general) on social media or do you keep them between you and your friends? Let us know @BritandCo!

Take the Stress Out of Cleaning With Jessica Alba’s Insanely Easy Tips

Life is looking pretty exciting these days for boss, business lady, and mom-to-be Jessica Alba. Beyond overseeing a beauty collection and being pregnant with baby no. 3, she just announced a new plant-based cleaning line under Honest Company. The good-for-you products feature fresh scents and beautiful packaging catered to the lifestyles of conscious mamas. Which leads us to our next question: How does this celeb stay mindful while juggling it all? Keep scrolling to learn more about her tips below, including how she takes the stress out of cleaning.

For the collection, Alba worked with her team to create quality formulas with safe ingredients. “When it comes to maintaining a tidy home, you can feel good about cleaning with the kiddos using effective, plant-based formulas,” she tells Brit + Co. Of course, taking the time to sanitize your space is no easy feat with two little kids (she shares Honor, eight, and Haven, six, with husband Cash Warren) running around, so Alba makes it a family affair. “Cleaning in my household is a family activity that we can all do together. I love getting them involved in household chores because it gives them a sense of responsibility from an early age and I feel good knowing that the products that we are using are safe for my entire family,” she says.

Her collection covers items for every room of the home, including hand soap, multi-surface cleaner, glass spray, dish soap, laundry detergent, and floor pads. Each one boasts a beautiful Cali-inspired image on the label designed by art photographer Jin-Woo Prensena. “Since the product packaging is designed to sit out, you don’t have to worry about storing it or tucking it away,” says Alba.

When it comes to putting the solutions to work, she has her own cleaning strategy. “I like to use bins and organize my products by room. For example, the bathroom bin has Honest Bathroom Cleaner, Honest Toilet Bowl Cleaner, Honest Glass + Window Cleaner, a scrubber sponge, a squeegee, and a microfiber cloth. That way, everything that I need for that one room is easy to find in one location,” she says.

Of course, being a busy mom doesn’t make keeping a routine, or cleaning habits for that matter, easy. Her advice? “Don’t be too hard on yourself. Parenthood is the greatest gift of all, so enjoy every minute of the journey, rather than trying to achieve perfection,” she says.

Add her products to your home by shopping online or in-stores at Target, Bed, Bath & Beyond, and Buy Buy Baby. The items run from $3 to $16 and are available now in four fresh scents.

Milo Ventimiglia Is A "Sweet And Attentive" Father-To-Be, And Duh!!!

Norman Mailer, I'm pregnant! This might be a memorable line from an equally memorable Gilmore Girls episode, but it's now also a reality for one of the show's stars because Milo Ventimiglia is expecting his first child! The actor married model and entrepreneur Jarah Mariano in the fall of 2023 at a tiny, private ceremony (a move that was very Jess Mariano of him), and on September 29, Jarah announced she's pregnant!

Milo Ventimiglia and Jarah Mariano just showed up at Brian Bowen Smith's ‘Joyride’ exhibit at Studio CT in California, and one source tells People Milo was “sweet and attentive to his wife throughout the whole event.” Duh!!

He “seemed very proud to be with her" while Jarah looked "radiant and glowing," as she always does. “Milo was kissing her and whispering into her ear," the source continues. "They were just genuinely lovely together.”

Is Jarah Mariano pregnant?

Yes, Jarah Mariano announced her pregnancy with an Instagram post featuring a surf session with Milo Ventimiglia. In the photos, Jarah is sitting on a surfboard wearing a brown bikini top, polka dot bikini bottoms, and a pink lei. "Baby on board!" she says in the caption.

After his time on Gilmore Girls, Milo played patriarch Jack Pearson on NBC's This Is Us, and told US Weekly in 2017 that "I think I’m built to want a strong family unit. “It will happen when it happens. I’m not out seeking it. It’s just kind of, I’m present in the space in my life that when it presents itself and it’s right, I’m sure it will work out.”

And it looks like it worked out at the exact right time.

Does Milo Ventimiglia have a wife?

A post shared by Jarah Mariano (@jarahm)

Yes, Milo Ventimiglia & wife Jarah Mariano got married in the fall of 2023, and Jarah recently posted some new photos from the special day. "Last year I married my best friend," she says. "There aren’t enough words that exist to describe all the special qualities that make him who he is. AlI can say is that I am grateful for the life that we have together and the happiness that we have created🤍 Aloha wau iā 'oe my husband Milo."

"Things are good," Milo told Extra in February 2024. "We've had relationships that have come and have gone and then you get to a point where you kind of meet your match and meet someone that inspires you in a way different than anybody else...I'm grateful for her and I’m happy to have arrived in this moment, so married life is nice."

Jessica Alba’s Honest Beauty Introduces Anti-Acne and Anti-Aging Skincare Line

Jessica Alba has been busy lately. Her company, The Honest Company, just launched a designer collection with The Great, she created a mommy-and-me flip flops with Havianas to help kids in need, and she’s pregnant with baby number three. Alba just won’t stop-can’t stop this summer, and her latest venture is one for women who’ve struggled with wrinkles and breakouts everywhere.

Honest Beauty’s new Younger + Clearer, out August 25, features five new items: Night Serum With Honestly Pure Retinol ($38), Spot-On Remedy ($14), Resurfacing Gel Cleanser (above, $18), Nourishing Lotion ($32), Clarifying Toner (below, $16), and Anti-Acne Anti-Aging Regimen Kit ($29).

She tells Brit + Co, “I saw that there was a gap in the marketplace — it was so hard to find a product that was both anti-acne and anti-aging. I wanted to create a skincare solution that addressed both of these concerns that so many women in their mid 20’s to 40’s face day to day.”

Just as with the other products in her Honest Beauty skincare and hair line, the new collection uses plant-derived ingredients to get serious results. “I developed Younger + Clearer because I wanted a regimen that contained high-performance formulas made with clean ingredients,” she explains. “The science behind it is really cutting edge; our Honestly Pure Retinol is encapsulated with tapioca dextrin and is made without the synthetic additives typically used to stabilize retinol.”

But as an expectant mom, she’s following doctor’s orders when it comes to her skincare (i.e. no retinol or salicylic acid). “To be honest, it’s really hard,” Alba admits. “I switch off between Honest Beauty’s Refreshingly Clean Gel Cleanser and Refreshingly Clean Powder Cleanser to wash. I also use our Refreshingly Clean Gentle Konjac Sponge a couple of times a week for light exfoliation. Then I follow with our Younger Face Deep Hydration Cream on my face.”

To pamper her body, Alba isn’t skimping either. She depends on The Honest Company’s Organic Belly Balm, along with the Organic Body Oil and our Organic All-Purpose Balm on her chest and stomach. “I like to use different combinations of these products,” she tells Brit + Co. “I also love to take baths using our Dreamy Lavender Bubble Bath. My skin has been extra dry, especially with the stretching, so I like to add a couple pumps of our Organic Body Oil to the bath for the extra moisture.”

'Harry Potter' Book Fans Rejoice! The New TV Show Will Go "More In-Depth" Than The Movies.

We're always ready to go back to Hogwarts, whether we're making a Harry Potter cocktail for our September 1st celebration or hosting a movie night in our coziest PJs. And thanks to HBO, we'll be able to visit for the first time all over again. On April 12, 2023 Warner Bros. Discovery confirmed that an original Harry Potter series was coming to their Max streaming service.

The series will be released over the course of ten years (!!) and WBD promises that it'll feature a book authenticity and attention to detail that even the most knowledgable Potterhead will appreciate. Grab your Harry Potter house scarf and your pumpkin juice, and keep reading for everything you need to know about the new Harry Potter TV show!

Will there be a Harry Potter TV show?

Warner Bros.

Yes, we're getting a new Harry Potter TV show! The official video announcement features the Hogwarts candles we see in the first film coming together to create that classic golden, lit-from-within logo. It's totally magical and nostalgic, but has a new contemporary edge I can't wait to see in its full form.

Will the Harry Potter TV show follow the books?

Amazon

Yes, book fans will be happy to know the new series will definitely follow the plot of the books. And Channing Dungey, chairman and CEO of Warner Bros. Television Group, finally gave us a tease during MIPCOM‘s C-Suite Conversations. "It’s an unbelievable dream, honestly, and as somebody who is a huge fan of books, the opportunity to get to explore them in maybe a little bit more in-depth than you can in just a two-hour film," she said (via THR). "That’s the whole reason we’re on this journey.”

Has HBO begun casting for the new Harry Potter series?

Warner Bros.

Dungey also revealed they've started looking for a new golden trio. “There’s not a lot to talk about at this moment," she says. "We’ve got our fantastic writing staff in place and they are doing what they need to do. And casting calls have opened up in the U.K. and Ireland, so the process is moving along. It’s going quite well.”

What else do I need to know?

Warner Bros./IMDb

“We are delighted to give audiences the opportunity to discover Hogwarts in a whole new way,” Casey Bloys, HBO & Max Content's Chairman and CEO, said in the press release. “Harry Potter is a cultural phenomenon and it is clear there is such an enduring love and thirst for the Wizarding World.”

The series comes from Brontë Film and TV and Warner Bros. Television, with J.K. Rowling, Neil Blair, and Ruth Kenley-Letts serving as executive producers. Over the last few years, Rowling has made headlines for her conservative views and commentary on transgender identities, but at the time, Bloys didn't comment when asked whether her involvement could affect their ability to move forward.

On June 26, 2024 it was announced that Francesca Gardiner would write and serve as showrunner and Mark Mylod would executive produce and direct several episodes. Both worked on Succession.

"I'm truly thrilled to announce our director and writer, both of whom I interviewed as part of the production team," J.K. Rowling tweeted. "Both have a genuine passion for #HarryPotter, and having read Francesca's pilot script and heard Mark's vision, I'm certain the TV show will more than live up to expectations."

When is the HBO Harry Potter TV show release date?

Max/HBO/Warner Bros.

The new Harry Potter series is expected to hit Max in 2026, according to Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav (via Deadline). That means we could start seeing cast lists and getting more specific plot details in 2025!

Who plays Harry Potter in the new series?

Warner Bros.

In an interview with Comicbook.com, Daniel Radcliffe makes it clear that even though he's very excited about the new show, he probably won't be included in the new cast of Harry Potter.

“I’m sure whoever is making [the series] will want to make their own mark on it and probably not want to have to figure out how to get old Harry to cameo in this somewhere,” he says. “So I’m definitely not seeking it out in any way. But I do wish them, obviously, all the luck in the world and I’m very excited to have that torch passed. But I don’t think it needs me to physically pass it.”

There's no word on whether any of the original cast will actually be returning, but after we cried while watching the Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts, we can only hope that Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Bonnie Wright, and Tom Felton will at least make cameo appearances. I'd love to see Daniel Radcliffe in the Ministry of Magic, or see Tom Felton walking around Diagon Alley. (However, I'm really hoping they're cast as some of the professors. Just imagine Emma as Professor McGonagall!)

Is Harry Potter on Netflix or Amazon Prime?

Warner Bros.

The Harry Potter series is currently available to stream on Max and Peacock. However, you can also rent the movies on Amazon Prime!
