Jessica Alba also maintains a strict no-nudity clause in her contract. She was given the option to appear nude in Sin City by the film's directors, Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez, but declined the offer, saying, "I don't do nudity. I just don't. Maybe that makes me a bad actress. Maybe I won't get hired in some things. But I have too much anxiety". She remarked of a GQ shoot in which she was scantily clad, "They didn't want me to wear the granny panties, but I said, 'If I'm gonna be topless I need to wear granny panties."

Jessica Alba (Jessica Marie Alba) was born in Pomona, California to Catherine Alba (née Jensen) and Mark Alba. Her mother is of Danish and French Canadian descent. Her father is of Mexican American descent. Both of her paternal grandparents were born in California. She has a younger brother, Joshua. Her father's Air Force career took the family to Biloxi, Mississippi, and Del Rio, Texas before settling back in California when she was nine years old. Jessica Alba described her family as being a "very conservative family—a traditional, Catholic, Latin American family" and herself as very liberal; she says she had described herself as a "feminist" as early as age five.Jessica Alba's early life was marked by a multitude of physical maladies. During childhood she suffered from collapsed lungs twice, she had pneumonia 4-5 times a year, a ruptured appendix, and had a tonsillar cyst. Due to her illnesses Jessica Alba became isolated from other children at school because she was in the hospital so often due to her illnesses that no one knew her well enough to befriend her.

Jessica Alba has also acknowledged that she has suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder during her childhood. Jessica Alba graduated from high school at age 16, and she then subsequently attended the Atlantic Theater Company.
Jessica Alba: Religion
Jessica Alba was a Christian throughout her teenage years, but left the church after four years because she felt she was being judged for her appearance, explaining: "Older men would hit on me, and my youth pastor said it was because I was wearing provocative clothing, when I wasn't. It just made me feel like if I was in any way desirable to the opposite sex that it was my fault, and it made me ashamed of my body and being a woman".Jessica Alba also had objections to the church's condemnations of premarital sex and homosexuality, and the lack of strong female role models in the Bible, explaining "I thought it was a nice guide, but it certainly wasn't how I was going to live my life." Her "religious devotion [began] to wane" at the age of 15 when she guest-starred as a teenager with gonorrhea in the throat in a 1996 episode of the television series Chicago Hope. Her friends at church reacted negatively to her role, making her lose faith in the church. However, she has stated that she still holds her belief in God despite leaving the church.
Jessica Alba: Relationships
While filming Dark Angel in January 2000, Jessica Alba began a three year relationship with her co-star Michael Weatherly, which caused controversy due to their 12 year age gap. Weatherly proposed to Jessica Alba on her twentieth birthday, which she accepted. In August 2003, Jessica Alba and Weatherly announced that they'd ended their relationship. In July 2007, Jessica Alba spoke out about the break up, saying "I don't know [why I got engaged]. I was a virgin. He was 12 years older than me. I thought he knew better. My parents weren't happy. They're really religious. They believe God wouldn't allow the Bible to be written if it wasn't what they are supposed to believe. I'm completely different." Jessica Alba had at one time said she envisioned a much older man as her ideal partner, making references to Morgan Freeman, Sean Connery, Robert Redford, and Michael Caine. She said, "I have this thing for older men. They've been around and know so much."Jessica Alba met Cash Warren, son of actor Michael Warren, while making Fantastic Four in 2004. On December 27, 2007, Jessica Alba and Warren announced that they were engaged. Jessica Alba married Warren in Los Angeles on Monday, May 19, 2008. On June 7, 2008, Jessica Alba gave birth to a baby girl, Honor Marie Warren, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California.

Jessica Alba: Charity and Politics
In 2005 Jessica Alba offered her acting talents for free, to raise money for AIDS charity Amfar at the Cannes Film Festival. The Industry had held a benefit for the US research foundation.

Jessica Alba openly endorsed and supported Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama during the 2008 primary season.
Jessica Alba posed for a bondage-themed print advertising campaign by Declare Yourself, a campaign encouraging voter registration among youth for the 2008 United States presidential election. The ads photographed by Mark Liddell, which feature Jessica Alba wrapped in and gagged with black tape, drew national media attention. The ads were described by some as being "Shocking". Jessica Alba said of doing the advertisements that"It didn't freak me out at all." Jessica Alba also said "I think it is important for young people to be aware of the need we have in this country to get them more active politically," and "People respond to things that are shocking."
In June 2009, while filming The Killer Inside Me in Oklahoma City, Jessica Alba "provoked" residents when she pasted posters of sharks around town. Jessica Alba said that she was trying to bring attention to the diminishing population of Great White Sharks. Media outlets speculated that Jessica Alba would be pursued and charged with vandalism. On June 16, 2009, Oklahoma City police said that they wouldn't pursue criminal charges against Jessica Alba, because none of the property owners wanted to pursue it. Jessica Alba apologized in a statement to People Magazine and said that she regretted her actions. She later donated an undisclosed amount of money (over $500 to the United Way, whose billboard she had obscured with one of the shark posters.
