Jessica Alba and Cash Warren have filed for divorce after 16 years of marriage, with no prenuptial agreement in place. She enlisted the help of Kim Kardashian's divorce lawyer, Laura Wasser, while Cash sought assistance from attorney Adam Lipsic. The couple, who married in 2008 and share three children - Honor, 16; Haven, 13; and Hayes, 7 - are seeking joint physical and legal custody. Jessica announced their separation in January, expressing a commitment to mutual respect and prioritising their children's well-being.
Despite the significant financial stakes, sources told TMZ that the divorce proceedings are "extremely amicable.". The couple first met on the set of Fantastic Four in 2004, where Jessica portrayed Sue Storm (the Invisible Woman) and Cash worked as a director's assistant. In a September 2010 interview with Cosmopolitan, Jessica recalled their first meeting, describing how they instantly connected. In January, sources close to the couple told TMZ that after a lengthy marriage, they had decided to part ways. Although no official reason has been provided for the split, signs of trouble surfaced when both Jessica and Cash were seen without their wedding rings.
Jessica made an appearance at a Golden Globes pre-party at the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood in January without her ring and her spouse. Back in December, she was seen in Rome with film producer Andrea Iervolino, again without her wedding ring. Despite speculation, their night out seemed strictly professional as they are collaborating on the upcoming biopic "Maserati: The Brothers.". Cash too was seen ringless last week in Los Angeles. Public sightings of the couple together have become rare, with their last photographed appearance being at a Lakers game on November 10, where nothing appeared out of the ordinary.
Jessica, aside from her acting career, co-founded The Honest Company with her business partner, Christopher Gavigan in January 2012. Initially, the company sold natural and non-toxic household goods, diapers, and body care products. In 2015, she expanded her business to include Honest Beauty, a line of non-toxic skin care and beauty products. By 2014, The Honest Company was valued at $1 billion, , reports the Mirror US.
She stepped down from her role as chief creative officer for the company in April last year. Jessica and Cash tied the knot in 2008, with the two celebrating 16 years of marriage last year. She paid tribute to him in a special post shared on social media. The 2000s icon wrote: "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. 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. Through thick and thin we have continually found our way back to each other and have chosen one another. Cheers to us, I love you.".
