A More Secular Path
Eventually, her relationship with the older guy led Jessica to question everything that she learned as a child and her religious beliefs. On her real first crush, she has said “I was so in love with him and thought, ‘There’s no way this guy’s going to hell.’” The experience led Jessica toward a more secular path in life, and she no longer refrained from doing things that she wanted to do just because of her religion. Unfortunately, the relationship did not last long, but soon, her big break in acting came, and with it, a different attitude toward dating.
The Breakthrough Role
After appearing on Flipper, Jessica did a series of guest appearances, in the hopes of getting her big break and getting her career on the road. The young actress enjoyed a wild time in her private life as well, living and dating like a normal teenager. Jessica had worked her whole young adult life for this, and the moment had finally arrived. The talented Jessica Alba finally landed her breakthrough role on the sci-fi series Dark Angel, where she played the main character. The series brought other news for her since the up-and-coming star met on the set the man who she started her first serious relationship with.
