Hollywood star Jessica Alba and her producer husband Cash Warren have reportedly split after 16 years of marriage.
The two are nearing a divorce, reports people.com, citing tmz.com.
Alba, and Warren, first met in Vancouver in 2004 on the set of the superhero flick Fantastic Four. The actress played Sue Storm, while Warren worked as a director's assistant.
They tied the knot on May 19, 2008 and have three kids together, daughters Honor, 16, and Haven, 13, and son Hayes, 7. The couple marked son Hayes' 7th birthday earlier in January.
Alba posted on New Year's Eve that her 2024 was "filled with connection, growth, adventures, laughter, peace, sisterhood, transformation, rebirth, joy, and so much love.
In September 2021, she spoke about building her business empire, parenting and her marriage with Warren. She said at the time that they both would share their individual needs to prioritize their relationship.
"At different times, there were different things that we needed. Around the time I had the kids, it was like, 'I need (date night) once a week.' And he's been like, 'I need you to be present on the weekends and not work,' " she said, explaining they'd often "over-communicate what's happening before it gets to the point of no return."
She further added, "I don't think we have a secret at all. We just have to check each other."
In July 2021, Alba opened up on managing her marriage and parenting with her husband by sharing an experience with Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt in the latter's Instagram series.
"I think that he probably gets the short end of the stick, and it is not even him, I'd say it's us. When I see him and hang out with him and we genuinely enjoy each other, it becomes an 'us' thing as well, it feeds me in return. Impossible."
"It's all rosy for two and a half years. But then after that you become roommates. You're just going through the motions. You have the responsibilities; it's a lot of, like, checking the boxes, right?" said the actress
They used to at least do their weekly date nights, "but then that stops because of whatever."
The actress shared: "We're just not consistent. But being able to communicate when you're unhappy and nipping it right away instead of letting it sort of fester, and then you have animosity and then it explodes — which we've gone through that one! We have, obviously, the friendship, the comfort of 'You're not going anywhere,' so sometimes you don't treat those people the best. You don't consider their feelings in the way that you would consider other people's feelings," she said. "That's something I think is a constant one to work on."
Alba added, "It's a life journey, and if you're both every day deciding to do it, it's gonna work out, regardless of the drama, regardless of anything that happens."
