Jessica Alba and Cash Warren have reportedly filed for divorce after 16 years of marriage, marking the end of their long relationship. As news of their separation spreads, an old interview with the actress has resurfaced, where she spoke fondly about her husband, describing him as an “instant family.”
Alba and Warren met on the set of Fantastic Four in 2004 and married in 2008. In an interview after their wedding, Alba shared how she immediately felt a deep connection with Warren. She said, “I just knew when I met him that I was going to know him forever. It was weird; he instantly felt like family. I’d never felt like that with anyone. We got each other. We’re kindred spirits.” She also described how Warren would encourage her to take time for herself, like suggesting she go get her nails done while he took care of their children. She appreciated how Warren was not only supportive but also took an active role in family life, sharing the parenting responsibilities.
The couple has three children together: Honor, Haven, and Hayes. Alba shared how Warren’s actions made her feel valued, stating that he would say, “You matter,” and remind her she was more than just a mother or wife—she was an individual with her own needs and desires.
Despite their separation, sources close to the couple have indicated that they remain on good terms and will continue to co-parent their children together.
