Jessica Alba says she and Cash Warren were more like roommates way before split

Jessica Alba made a candid revelation about the ups and downs she and Cash Warren went through during their nearly 17-year-long marriage just months before their rumored split. 

On Wednesday, Jan. 8, TMZ reported that the couple recently separated and are headed for divorce. 

Prior to this, the actress, 43, opened up about married life in a candid interview with podcaster Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt on her “BDA Baby” podcast in April 2024. 

“It’s all rosy for 2.5 years, but then after that, you become roommates,” Alba said. 

“And it’s just, like, you’re roommates. You’re just going through the motions. It’s the responsibility. It’s a lot of, like, checking the boxes.” 

The pair first met on the Vancouver set of the superhero movie “Fantastic Four” in 2004. Alba played Sue Storm, and Warren, 45, worked as an assistant to the director. 

The duo tied the knot in May 2008, and have three children: Hayes and daughters Honor, 16, and Haven, 13. 

During her appearance on the podcast, Alba said that her eldest daughter, Honor, and middle child, Haven, were both surprise pregnancies. 

However, the duo’s son, Hayes, was a planned pregnancy. 

Jessica Alba said she and Warren were good about keeping their weekly date nights in their calendars, however, that eventually “stops, because of whatever,” she said. 

“We have, like, obviously the friendship, the comfort of, like, ‘you’re not going anywhere,’ and so sometimes you don’t treat those people the best, right? You don’t consider their feelings in the way that you would consider other people’s feelings,” she said at the time. 

“So that is something that I think is a constant one to work on,” she said, before quipping, “If you’ve figured it out in your relationship, let me know.”
