Jessica Alba has officially confirmed her split from her husband of 16 years, Cash Warren.
In a heartfelt Instagram post on Thursday, the 43-year-old actress and entrepreneur shared her reflections on the end of their marriage,
addressing the public for the first time since rumors of their separation surfaced.
Alba began her post by acknowledging the personal journey of self-discovery
and transformation that she has been on, both individually and within her partnership with Warren.
“I’ve been on a journey of self-realization and transformation for years – both as an individual and in partnership with Cash,” she wrote.
Despite the split, she expressed pride in the growth they had achieved together over the course of their two-decade-long relationship. “I’m proud of how we’ve grown in our marriage over the last 20 years and it’s now time for us to embark on a new chapter of growth and evolution as individuals,” Alba explained.
The couple, who married in 2008, share three children: daughters Honor, 16, Haven, 13, and son Hayes, 7. Alba emphasized their shared commitment to their kids, writing, “Our children remain our highest priority and we request privacy at this time.” She also stressed that despite the separation, they would continue to move forward with mutual love, kindness, and respect for one another. “We are moving forward with love, kindness and respect for each other and will forever be family,” she added.
Sources had reported earlier this week that the “Honey” actress had hired a divorce attorney, signaling that the couple’s separation was becoming official. Despite this, insiders noted that Alba and Warren remained on good terms. “No matter what’s going on right now, it seems they will remain close,” a source revealed. “If they’re filing for divorce, it’s not because of some hateful drama. They still look happy together. Jess has mentioned over the years though that it’s hard to keep the spark.”
The news of their split follows a period of noticeable absences by Warren from public events with Alba. Fans began to speculate when the actress attended several high-profile events without her wedding ring, most recently at a pre-Golden Globes party earlier this month. Warren, too, was spotted in Los Angeles without his ring, fueling further speculation about the couple’s status. However, the two still appeared together for their son’s birthday celebration at Universal Studios, presenting a united front despite the personal challenges they faced.
Alba and Warren first met in 2004 on the set of *Fantastic Four*, where Warren was working as a production assistant. Their relationship blossomed, and they went on to marry four years later, making it one of Hollywood’s more enduring couples. Over the years, Alba has often praised their partnership, especially in her social media posts. For example, in May 2024, she took to Instagram to celebrate their 16th wedding anniversary, writing, “16 years of marriage, 20 years together and forever to go… Happy Anniversary @cash_warren. I’m proud of us for making it this far.”
Despite the split, the couple’s bond has clearly remained strong. Alba noted that the real challenge of a long-term relationship lies in the commitment to one another, through both good and tough times. “There is no real set of rules or guidance that can ever prepare you for what it means to commit to another person and choose to be family,” she wrote. “Through thick and thin we have continually found our way back to each other and have chosen one another.”
This recent confirmation of their separation comes just a few weeks after Alba posted a reflective message about her life heading into the new year. On New Year’s Eve, she shared a cryptic note on Instagram, describing 2024 as a year filled with “connection, growth, adventures, laughter, peace, sisterhood, transformation, rebirth, joy and so much love.” Though the post didn’t directly address her separation, it hinted at the personal transformation she was undergoing.
As the actress and entrepreneur moves into this new chapter of her life, it is clear that her focus will remain on her children and personal growth. Despite the end of her marriage with Warren, Alba is continuing to prioritize family while embracing the journey of self-discovery and transformation. Fans will undoubtedly continue to follow her path, with both curiosity and support as she navigates this new phase of life.
