“It hasn’t really hit me personally,” the 45-year-old told People in an interview published Aug. 19, “but I think for any parent, just that milestone, it’s intense.”
“I don’t think you can prepare for it,” she added. “You just have to tackle it when it happens.”
Jessica—who also shares daughter Haven, 15, and son Hayes, 8, with Cash—has been deeply feeling her emotions regarding Honor’s new chapter since the day she graduated from high school in May.
“Graduation day. What have we been doing all morning?” Jessica said in a video posted to Instagram at the time. “Well, I’ve been crying.”
“Honor, you’re graduating today and I used to cry on my way to dropping you off to middle school because you felt so big,” she told her daughter in the car, “and now I cry dropping you off to your graduation.”
Honor had clearly had her fill of her tears that day, telling the camera, “Guys, she’s going through it.”
But as the Honest Company founder explained, she couldn’t help but feel emotional “because my baby is the most incredible human in the whole world.”
