Actor and the Honest Co. co-founder Jessica Alba has confirmed her split from her husband of 16 years, Pair of Thieves apparel co-founder Cash Warren.
The former star of "Dark Angel" and "L.A.'s Finest" spoke out on Thursday, putting an end to speculation regarding her relationship status. After days of swirling reports about a separation and an impending divorce, she confirmed the breakup, marking the end of a 20-year partnership.
“I’ve been on a journey of self realization and transformation for years — both as an individual and in partnership with Cash,” Alba said Thursday in a statement on Instagram. “I’m proud of how we’ve grown as a couple and 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.
"We are committed to progressing with love, compassion, and mutual respect, and we will always remain a family. Our children will always be our top priority, and we kindly ask for privacy during this time."
Alba, aged 43, and Warren, who is 45, crossed paths in 2004 during the production of the film “Fantastic Four.” Alba portrayed the character Sue Storm, while Warren served as an assistant to the director, Tim Story. The couple tied the knot in 2008 and are proud parents to three children: daughters Honor, 16, and Haven, 13, along with their 7-year-old son, Hayes.
TMZ and People reported last week that the couple had separated and were heading toward divorce. It is unclear whether they have begun divorce proceedings. Representatives for the two did not respond immediately Thursday to The Times’ requests for comment.
In May, Alba celebrated their 16th wedding anniversary, marking two decades together with “forever to go” in a sweet Instagram tribute to Warren. She wrote at the time that she was “proud of us for making it this far.”
"There's no definitive manual or instructions that can truly ready you for the journey of committing to someone and embracing the idea of family," she expressed. "No matter the challenges we've faced, we've always managed to reconnect and choose each other time and again. Here's to us, I love you."
On New Year’s Eve, Alba appeared to allude to a new beginning in another post, writing that 2024 was “filled with connection, growth, adventures, laughter, peace, sisterhood, transformation, rebirth, joy and so much love.” She and Warren appeared together in a post earlier this month celebrating their son’s birthday.
