(Cover) - EN Star Style - Jessica Alba says motherhood has helped her grow a passion for flat shoes.

The actress is mother to two-year-old Honor with her husband Cash Warren, and they are expecting their second child this year. Looking after a toddler is a lot of fun, but it also has its disadvantages. Jessica finds she cant dress as trendily anymore as high shoes are now a no-no.

Now I have my daughter to run round after I never get to wear heels and I've come to love flats, she laughed.

Although Jessica initially missed dressing in skyscraper heels she has now got used to it. Shes keen to point out there are some good points about Honors newfound speed including that her mom now doesnt need to spend so much time working out at the gym.

Literally, she never stops. She is very active and keeps me fit and out of the gym. So I go for comfort now rather than heels, the actress is quoted as saying. (C) Cover Media
