Hollywood has seen its fair share of high-profile breakups, and now, Jessica Alba and Cash Warren have joined that list.
After nearly 17 years of marriage, the “Sin City” actress has officially filed for divorce, marking the end of a long-term relationship that many admired.
According to legal documents obtained by DailyMail.com, Alba, 43, filed the paperwork with the help of top celebrity divorce attorney Laura Wasser.
Wasser is well-known for handling high-profile divorces, including those of Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian, and Kevin Costner.
Cash Warren, 46, immediately followed suit, enlisting attorney Adam Lipsic to represent him.
No Prenup and an Amicable Separation
One of the biggest surprises of this split? The couple never signed a prenuptial agreement.
That means their substantial assets, including their businesses and real estate, could become a major topic of discussion in the coming months.
Despite this, sources claim the divorce is “extremely amicable.”
Both Jessica and Cash have agreed on joint physical and legal custody of their three children—Honor, 16, Haven, 13, and Hayes, 7.
The couple listed their official separation date as December 27, 2024, signaling that the decision was made some time ago.
What’s at Stake? A Look at Their Financial Empire
Jessica Alba isn’t just an actress—she’s a highly successful entrepreneur.
In 2011, she co-founded The Honest Company, which has since been valued at around $640 million.
However, her personal stake in the company has fluctuated over the years.
In 2016, Forbes estimated her net worth at $340 million, but later corrected that figure to just under $100 million due to changes in her company shares.
Meanwhile, Cash Warren has also built his own business empire.
He founded the underwear and sock company Pair of Thieves, which is valued at around $100 million.
With no prenup in place, dividing their assets, including a $10 million Beverly Hills mansion they purchased in 2017, could become a complicated process.
Expert Predictions on the Divorce Process
Legal experts have weighed in on what this split could look like.
Family law attorney Yonatan Levoritz told DailyMail.com that since their marriage lasted nearly two decades, there’s a strong chance spousal support could come into play.
“If there’s no prenup or postnup, the business assets will likely need to be valued and divided,” Levoritz explained.
“Most courts don’t favor ongoing business partnerships between exes, so there may be a buyout of interests.”
Real estate is another major factor.
Their $10 million Beverly Hills home could either be sold or awarded to one party, depending on custody arrangements.
“Courts often allow the custodial parent to remain in the marital home for stability,” Levoritz added.
Jessica’s Emotional Statement on the Split
Jessica Alba took to Instagram in January to break the news to her followers.
In a heartfelt post, she wrote about her journey of self-discovery and the decision to part ways with Warren.
“I’ve been on a journey of self-realization and transformation for years—both as an individual and in partnership with Cash,” she shared.
“I’m proud of how we’ve grown 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 assured fans that they were moving forward with “love, kindness, and respect” and emphasized that their children remain their top priority.
Signs of Trouble? Hints Leading Up to the Divorce
While the news may have come as a shock to some, fans have noticed subtle signs that the couple’s relationship was strained.
For months, Jessica has been spotted without her wedding ring, and she also made some cryptic social media posts about new beginnings.
In early January, she shared an Instagram post with a telling caption: “2024 cleared the path, 2025 claims the magic.”
She followed up with another message: “If it messes with my peace, it’s too damn pricey.”
The absence of Cash in her year-end photo carousel also raised eyebrows among followers.
Looking Back on Their Love Story
Jessica and Cash first met in 2004 on the set of “Fantastic Four,” where he worked as a production assistant.
Their connection quickly blossomed, leading to their wedding in May 2008.
Despite their love story spanning nearly two decades, their marriage wasn’t without its struggles.
In a resurfaced interview from August 2023, Cash admitted that jealousy had been a major issue in their relationship.
He revealed on the “Whine Down with Jana Kramer” podcast that he struggled with Alba’s fame and the attent
ion she received from other men.
“I was really jealous of other guys and the attention she was getting,” he confessed.
“It just wasn’t making me feel good.”
He even admitted that his jealousy led to a temporary breakup four years into their relationship.
Despite those early struggles, the couple went on to build a family and a business empire together.
Now, as they navigate their separation, they are prioritizing their children and aiming for a drama-free process.
What’s Next for Jessica and Cash?
As they finalize their divorce, both Jessica Alba and Cash Warren are likely to focus on their businesses and their roles as co-parents.
With their amicable approach, their split may not be as messy as other Hollywood breakups, but with millions at stake, legal negotiations could still get complicated.
Only time will tell how their assets will be divided, but one thing is clear—Jessica and Cash are ready for a new chapter in their lives.
