Jessica Alba<\/strong><\/a> and her husband, Cash Warren<\/strong><\/a>, have reportedly called it quits after more than 16 years of marriage.<\/p>\n Sources told TMZ<\/em><\/a>\u00a0on Wednesday, January 8, that Jessica, 43, and Cash, 45, recently separated and plan to file for a divorce.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not currently clear why they have chosen to end their marriage, though both Jessica and Cash have hinted at troubles in their relationship in recent months. Jessica recently attended a pre-Golden Globes party on January 4 at Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood without Cash, and she notably ditched her wedding band for the outing.<\/p>\n Jessica also fueled split rumors one month earlier when she was seen without her wedding ring while out with film producer Andrea Iervolino<\/strong> in Rome. Meanwhile, Cash ditched his wedding band when he was spotted out and about in Los Angeles last week.<\/p>\n Neither Jessica nor Cash have publicly addressed the split rumors, and they did not immediately respond to Life & Style<\/em>\u2018s request for comment.<\/p>\n The pair first met on set of Fantastic Four<\/em> in 2004, in which Jessica played Sue Storm, a.k.a. the Invisible Woman and Cash worked as a director\u2019s assistant.<\/p>\n \u201cRight after I met [Cash], I called my best friend and was like, \u2018I met this guy and I feel like I\u2019ve known him forever and I\u2019m gonna know him for the rest of my life,’\u201d Jessica recalled of their first interaction while speaking to Cosmopolitan<\/em> in September 2010.<\/p>\n Jessica and Cash went on to get married in May 2008 and they welcomed their eldest daughter<\/a>, Honor, in June of that year. The couple later welcomed their second daughter, Haven, in August 2011 and a son Hayes in December 2017.<\/p>\n Back in 2021, Jessica opened up about what made her and Cash\u2019s marriage successful. \u201cAt different times, there were different things that we needed. Around the time I had the kids, it was like, \u2018I need [date night] once a week,’\u201d she told People<\/em><\/a> at the time. \u201cAnd he\u2019s been like, \u2018I need you to be present on the weekends and not work.\u2019 Over-communicating, maybe that\u2019s it.\u201d<\/p>\n The Honest Company founder added that she and Cash used to \u201cover-communicate what\u2019s happening before it gets to the point of no return.\u201d<\/p>\n After noting that she didn\u2019t believe that they had \u201ca secret\u201d to keeping their marriage strong, Jessica added, \u201cWe just have to check each other.\u201d<\/p>\n Despite putting on a united front for more than a decade, Cash did admit that he and Jessica briefly split<\/a> before they wed.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen we first started dating, I was really jealous of other guys and the attention she was getting from other guys. It just wasn\u2019t making me feel good,\u201d he shared while appearing on the \u201cWhine Down with Jana Kramer\u201d podcast in August 2023. \u201cWe broke up. It was jealousy. I was turning into an a\u2013hole, and so we broke up. During that time apart, I made a promise to myself to channel that [jealously] in a different way.\u201d<\/p>\n While the couple was able to work through the conflict, they continued to experience hardships when it came to raising their children. In January 2024, an insider exclusively told Life & Style<\/em> that Jessica \u201cput in the work\u201d<\/a> in order to improve her family\u2019s home life.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
