Jessica Alba and Cash Warren part ways after 16 years
Jessica Alba is divorcing her husband, Cash Warren. They have been together for over 16 years and have three children. What happened between them?
News broke in the American tabloids that Jessica Alba and Cash Warren, who have been married since 2008, are facing difficulties in their relationship and are divorcing. According to PageSix, the couple remains on friendly terms, focusing on the well-being of their children, but there's no hope for the continuation of their marriage.

Alba and Warren, who met on the set of "Fantastic Four" in 2004, have three children: Honor, Haven, and Hayes. Despite rumours of divorce, the family recently celebrated Hayes' birthday together at Universal Studios. Alba also shared photos with Warren and their children on Thanksgiving and Christmas.
However, the actress was seen without her wedding ring, which already sparked speculation. In 2021, Alba mentioned having problems in the marriage, admitting that sometimes she feels like they are just "roommates." "It's all rosy for two and a half years, but then after that you become roommates," she said.
Alba admitted that she sometimes takes her relationship with Warren for granted. "We have a friendship, the comfort that 'you're not going anywhere,' so sometimes you don't treat these people the best," she added. "You don't consider their feelings in the way that you would consider other people's feelings."
The problems in her marriage to Cash Warren were said to be escalating, especially after issues related to her cosmetics business emerged. Informants from PageSix comment that Alba and Cash simply burned out in the relationship and struggled to "keep the spark alive."
Cash Warren is the actress's first husband. She was previously in a relationship for three years with Michael Weatherly, with whom she appeared in the series "Dark Angel." The actor proposed to her on her 20th birthday, and she said "yes." However, the couple soon broke up. Years later, Alba commented in the media that she didn't know why she got engaged. "I was a virgin. He was 12 years older than me. I thought he knew better. My parents weren't happy. They're really religious," she said in an interview.
After having children and the success of her own company, Alba distanced herself from the entertainment industry for several years. In 2019, she could still be seen in two productions: the movie "Killers Anonymous" and the series "L.A.'s Finest." Then she "disappeared." For five years, Alba avoided film sets. It's hard to blame her; her company is valued at over 400 million Canadian dollars. However, after these few years, Jessica wanted to return to her roots. She starred in a Netflix production - "Trigger Warning."
