Jessica Alba and her husband Cash Warren have made the heart-wrenching decision to end their 16-year marriage.

This unexpected news has taken many by surprise, stirring feelings of sadness among fans after being brought to light by media outlet TMZ.

While Jessica Alba’s representative has yet to make any official comments, it’s known that Alba and Warren first crossed paths back in 2004. Their initial meeting was during the filming of Fantastic Four in Canada. During this project, Alba played the character Sue Storm, while Warren served as an assistant to the film’s director.

Those close to the couple have shared that they tried over the years to rekindle the romance and connection that once defined their relationship.

In this message, Alba reflected on 2024 as a year filled with laughter, peace, growth, new adventures, and new beginnings. The couple is blessed with three wonderful children.

They have expressed their intention to remain united in their thoughts and prayers, committing to co-parenting their children who they consider their utmost priority in life.
