Jessica Alba has admitted that working is no longer her priority in life, and maintains that her family will always come first.

The 'Fantastic Four' actress, who is mother to 3-year-old Honor and 5-month-old Haven Garner, explained how her priorities have changed.

"Work takes a backseat. Before, I'd have two weeks off around Christmas, but I never really did birthdays, or I'd be working in a country that didn't celebrate certain holidays," she told Parade. "Now it's about family and capturing those moments. When I do work, it's fun and I take some risks."

Discussing the idea of balancing her professional and personal life, she continued: "I don't think I balance it, to be honest. It's hard, overwhelming and it's not anything I ever feel I am doing perfectly right. I wish there were two of me and 48-hour days so I could get everything done.

"But for me, I have to not try and think that everything has to be 100% perfect all the time and leave room for error. As long as my kids feel loved and a priority, everything really is secondary."

Katherine Heigl recently said she "likes food too much" to be as slim as Alba.
