The 35-year-old screen starlet is married to film producer Cash Warren and the couple have two daughters, Honor, eight, and Haven, five, together.

As well as being an in-demand actress, Jessica also runs her ethical products business The Honest Company but she has learned how to juggle the demands of work with motherhood, because she's had to.

And Jessica takes her kids on her business trips so once the working day is finished they can have quality family time.

Speaking to UsMagazine.com, she shared: "I go on so many business trips, and they're usually two to three days. I'll bring just one at a time and it'll be like, 'Mom's gonna bring you on a special trip. We'll get to have a sleepover, we'll get to order room service, we'll get to rent a movie. It's really fun!"

Although they may have a famous parent, Jessica insists she and her kids just like to do normal things on the weekends just like any other family.

She explained: "I just try to make the time that I spend with them quality. We like to go on walks and we like to watch movies and barbecue. They love to take a bath and then get back in their pyjamas for the rest of the weekend.

"Honor is reading a series called 'Amulet'. We finished 'Beezus and Ramona'. Haven loves 'Cat in the Hat' and 'Green Eggs and Ham' because I do silly voices. There's also 'Freckleface Strawberry', Julianne Moore's book. She likes funky, funny characters."

The 'Mechanic: Resurrection' star also ensures she has some free time for herself and loves to get a message to relax.

She said: "To me there's nothing better than a massage!"
