'I got to a point with the business where I thought, I miss acting,' said the 38-year-old Dark Angel actress when talking about her homewares business The Honest Company.
'I stopped [acting] for ten years, almost eleven years since I had Honor,' said Alba, in reference to her ten-year-old eldest daughter, Honor Marie Warren.
She has subsequently had two more children with husband Cash Warren: daughter Haven Garner, seven and son Hayes Alba, one.
Jessica has returned to acting via the TV series LA's Finest, in which she acts alongside Gabrielle Union.
The brunette beauty showed plenty of front in her elegant black dress that made the most of Alba's jaw-dropping cleavage.
Jessica wore a matching black bow in her hair.
She completed the head-to-toe black look with a pair of black heels.
Both Jessica and co-star Gabrielle are reveling in the chance to change the narrative on what it means to be a hero on screen as they star in the spinoff to Bad Boys.
'Usually we’re the token something — girlfriend, bad girl, side piece,' Alba told Variety. 'And women in the action genre are usually pretty one note.'
'We’re not saved by anybody,' Union added. 'We’re the ones saving people. We got to be the action heroes, comedians and a little sexy on occasion.
L.A.'s Finest focuses on Drug Enforcement Agent Sydney Burnett (Union's character) and premieres on May 13 on Charter's Spectrum.
