43-year-old Alba talked about her marriage in a honest conversation with a podcaster Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt in April 2024.
“Everything is rosy for 2 1/2 years, but after that you become roommates,” Alba said on Schwarzenegger’s “BDA Baby” podcast. “And it’s just like, you’re roommates. You’re just going through the motions. It is a responsibility. It’s a lot of, like, checking boxes.’
TMZ reported on Wednesday, January 8 that Alba and Warren, 45, recently split and preparing to file for divorce. Us Weekly contacted their representatives for comment.
Jessica Alba and Cash Warren have spoken about their efforts to keep the spark in their relationship alive while raising three children. The couple met while working on 2004’s Fantastic Four, in which Alba starred as Susan Storm and Warren was a production assistant. Having met for almost four years, the duo connected (…)
Couple met on the set Fantastic four in 2004, where Alba was the lead girl and Warren was a production assistant. They tied the knot four years later.
During their vows in 2008, Alba was nine months pregnant with their daughter Honor, now 16. The couple went on to welcome daughter Haven, 13, and son Hayes, 6.
When Schwarzenegger Pratt, 35, asked how Alba was able to find balance among her demanding responsibilities — and make sure “your husband feels taken care of” — Alba winced.
“If you figure it out in your relationship, let me know,” she quipped, adding, “You know, I think (Warren) is probably getting the short end of the stick. … It’s hard. It’s impossible.”
Jessica Alba shared a rare glimpse of her family life to celebrate the holidays. The 43-year-old actress took to social media on Thursday, Dec. 26, to share a series of Instagram photos of her husband Cash Warren , 45, and their three children: daughters Honor , 16, and Haven , 13, and son Hayes . 6. “Happy (…)
Alba said she and Warren had previously tried to schedule regular dates where “we wouldn’t have a phone and we’d just talk. But then it stopped because of something – and so we’re just not consistent.”
She advised Schwarzenegger Pratt’s listeners that it’s important to “communicate when you’re unhappy and stop it right away, instead of letting it kind of fester and then you have animosity and it explodes.”
Alba also noted that she and Warren have “been through it” since they’ve been together for so long, and joked that “he basically stole my 20s and 30s.”
“We obviously have a friendship, a comfort, like, ‘you’re not going anywhere,'” she added. “And so sometimes you don’t treat these people in the best way, right? You don’t consider their feelings the way you would other people’s feelings. So that’s what I think is a constant — a constant that needs to be worked on.”
Jessica Alba and Cash Warren have long been flaunting their three children together, sharing adorable news and sweet family ideas. The couple’s eldest daughter, Honor, was born a month after their wedding in May 2008, followed by Haven in August 2011. Alba later gave birth to son Hayes in December 2017. The actress named her youngest “(…)
She said married couples should avoid discussing topics such as children’s schedules during time together.
“That date or that time when you really shouldn’t talk about the annoying things you’ve been talking about all week anyway. It’s time, as it were, to bypass it and sign up in a different way. But it is difficult. It’s really hard.”
