American actress Jessica Alba has accused the media for ruining her 2008 wedding to Cash Warren, after they reported it before she was able to tell her parents.
Alba, 27, and Cash had wed in a low-key ceremony at the Beverly Hills Courthouse in Los Angeles on May 19, just weeks before Alba gave birth to the couple's first child, daughter Honor Marie.
The actress was devastated when the news of her wedding leaked, and her parents found out from a journalist.
"The person who helped us sign the documents told the press that day, so my parents found out from a reporter before we got to tell them. We were planning to take them out to dinner and tell them, but that got ruined," Contactmusic quoted her as telling Elle magazine.
"(I was) More hurt, probably, than anything. It's not the first time something like that has happened. Journalists feel entitled to do whatever it takes to get a sensational story, no matter how it affects the person involved. We're not really people, right? We're just celebrities," she added.
