Jessica Alba shared an emotional social media tribute to her 18-year-old daughter, Honor Warren, for the teenager's milestone birthday on Monday. The actress posted a video compilation of some of Honor's sweetest moments leading up to her 18th birthday, set to the tune of The Beatles' "Blackbird".
"Happy 18th Birthday to my Honor," Jessica began in the caption. "My sweet girl, my brilliant girl, my shining light."
"As I reflect on the last 18 years, I can honestly say they have been the most profound of my life. You opened my heart and expanded my understanding of love in ways I never knew were possible," she continued.

The Fantastic Four star added that she was excited to watch Honor fly the nest and attend university. "As you step into adulthood, part of me wants to hold you close forever and keep you safe," she wrote.
"But an even bigger part wants to watch you fly – to explore this world and discover everything that calls to your soul. And through it all, I will always be here. Whether you need comforting when you're sick, a hug, or miss home, I'll jump on a plane to see you – I'm here. Always."

Honor will attend Yale University in the fall, where she will study English and Film, and follow in the footsteps of her father, Cash Warren. Cash and Jessica were married for 16 years and welcomed Honor, 18, Haven, 14, and Hayes, eight, before their split in January 2025.

Jessica and Cash were both in attendance at Honor's graduation ceremony in May, yet were not pictured together.
