Famous Hollywood actress Jessica Alba has decided to divorce film producer Cash Warren. The couple has been married for 16 years.

A timeline of Jessica Alba and Cash Warren's relationship

The first meeting of a sex symbol of the 2000s and an "ordinary" guy

Alba and Warren met in 2004 on the set of "Fantastic Four." At that time, the actress was already considered a sex symbol of the 2000s after playing the lead role in the "Dark Angel" series by cult director James Cameron. Cash was working as a simple assistant, while Jessica was already internationally recognized.

"He's not famous at all. I think I met 'the one,'" she told Cosmopolitan magazine, "It was definitely love at first sight. But we didn't start dating right away because I was with someone else."

Jealousy, first child, and wedding

The couple got married in 2007. The lovers did not enjoy their idyll for long. The more popular Alba became, the more jealous her chosen one was. He began to suspect the actress of having affairs and arranged scandals for her on this basis. During the filming of the second part of the "Fantastic Four," Jessica could not stand it and left Cash for a while. However, their breakup was short-lived, and since Alba is rarely the subject of gossip, almost no one knew anything about their problems.

"We broke up. It was jealousy. I was turning into an asshole, and that's why we broke up," Cash Warren admitted. "During the time we were apart, I made a promise to myself to channel that jealousy in a different direction.

In December 2007, it became known that the couple was expecting their first child. In May 2008, they had a modest wedding, a few weeks before the birth of their daughter Honor, now 16.

Second pregnancy

In February 2011, Alba and Warren announced that they were expecting another addition to their family. The happy parents shared the news of their second pregnancy on social media.

"I thought I should let you all know the great news – Honor is going to be a big sister!" Alba wrote, "Cash and I are thrilled and wanted to share the news directly with you so you don't hear it from someone else. Haven, now 12 years old, was born on August 13, 2011.

Jessica Alba's third pregnancy

On July 17, 2017, the couple announced to the world that they were expecting another addition to their family. On December 31, New Year's Eve, they gave birth to a boy, Hayes. Jessica and Cash called the baby the best gift they ever received for the holiday.

Ups and downs

Despite the picture of a seemingly perfect family, the couple experienced both ups and downs in their relationship. After the birth of their first child, Warren was suddenly swept away by nightlife. While Jessica was babysitting her daughter, her husband was often partying in a nightclub, and once he was caught kissing Lindsay Lohan. After this incident, the actress repeatedly talked about infidelity in interviews.

In 2011, when Alba founded Honest, a company producing non-toxic products, cosmetics, and household chemicals, her husband could not fully provide for the family. He was earning money from odd jobs, while his wife's business was growing rapidly and began to make a profit. This hurt Warren's ego and could not but affect the family's relationships.

The last years before the divorce

Recently, Alba has repeatedly praised her husband, saying that he helped her overcome her insecurities. She called the marriage a success, noting that there are no secrets in their family. Jessica and Cash appeared together at important events, such as the Baby2Baby gala in Los Angeles in 2022 and the Vanity Fair Oscar party.

However, in 2024, fans suddenly noticed that the stars had taken off their wedding rings, stopped appearing in public together, and stopped sharing happy shots. Since then, tabloids began to speculate that the couple was no longer together. This was confirmed by their friends.
