(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Jessica Alba says her husband will scare away their daughters future boyfriends with a Samurai sword.

The American actress has a two-year-old daughter called Honor with film producer Cash Warren, and the couple are fiercely protective over their little girl.

Jessica has confessed that if any guy tries to date her when she is older, he may have a lot to contend with.

"Cash has a Samurai sword," Jessica is quoted as saying. "Oh yeah, and he knows how to use it. He's a very protective daddy, so that may be an issue one day in the future."

In a new magazine interview, Jessica has revealed she has fundamentally changed as a person since giving birth.

Instead of worrying about doing everything right all the time, she has learned to relax and appreciate what shes got in life.

Ive learned to forgive myself for not being perfect and not stressing myself. My daughter has put everything in perspective for me. I have had a reputation for being fiercely protective of my independence, the 29-year-old star told the Australian edition of Harpers Bazaar magazine. (C) Cover Media
