Jessica Alba files for divorce from Cash Warren after 16 years of marriage

Jessica Alba is officially divorcing Cash Warren.

The Sin City star, 43, filed for divorce in Los Angeles County court on Friday, citing irreconcilable differences, according to documents reviewed by Entertainment Weekly. Alba’s filing lists the date of separation from Warren, 46, as Dec. 27, 2024, and requests that her name be restored to Jessica Marie Alba after she legally took Warren’s last name.

Representatives for Alba and Warren did not immediately respond to EW’s requests for comment.

Alba and Warren met when they both worked on 2005’s Fantastic Four, in which the former played Sue Storm (a.k.a. Invisible Woman) and the latter served as an assistant to director Tim Story. Warren is the son of Hill Street Blues star Michael Warren.

The couple married in 2008, and have three children together: Honor, 16, Haven, 13, and Hayes, 7. Alba’s filing requests joint physical and legal custody of the children.

Alba previously confirmed her split from Warren in an Instagram post in January. “I’ve been on a journey of self realization and transformation for years — both as an individual and in partnership with Cash,” she wrote. “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.”

She continued, “We are moving forward with love and kindness and respect for each other and will forever be family. Our children remain our highest priority and we request privacy at this time.”

Last year, Alba starred in her first film role in five years in Netflix’s Trigger Warning, an action thriller that also starred Mark Webber, Tone Bell, Jake Weary, Gabriel Basso, and Anthony Michael Hall. She also led Spectrum’s Bad Boys spinoff series L.A.’s Finest alongside Gabrielle Union for two 13-episode seasons.

Aside from those two projects, Alba has largely eschewed acting for the past decade, appearing in just two films since 2016. The actress instead turned her focus to business, cofounding the Honest Company in 2011 and serving as its chief creative officer until 2024.
