Jessica Alba and Cash Warrenâs family is entering a new era.Â
After the Honey starâwho first tied the knot with the film producer in 2008âconfirmed that they had, indeed, broken up, she officially filed for divorce Feb. 7.Â
In documents obtained by E! News, Jessicaâwho shares Honor, 16, Haven, 13, and Hayes, 7, with Cashâasks for joint physical and legal custody of their kids. The actress also cites "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for their split and lists Dec. 27 as the official date of their separation.
In early January, TMZ was the first to report the news of Jessica and Cashâs breakup. However, the pairâs separation came after months of speculation, as Jessica continually stepped out publicly without her wedding ring, and shared a cryptic Instagram post of 2024 highlights in December, that notably did not include Cash.Â
âThe Year of the Snake teaches us profound self-improvement, encouraging growth from within and expanding our consciousness,â Jessica wrote in the Dec. 31 post. âIt reminds us that becoming a better version of ourselves allows for greater flexibility, shedding rigidity, and embracing transformation.â
In addition to the theme of new beginnings in her caption, the Fantastic Four actress also included several inspirational quotes in her highlight carouselâseveral that allude to reclaiming power in 2025. One quote reads, âEnding the year with a heart full of gratitude, lessons learned and no regrets.âÂ

Since 2025 began, the 43-year-old has not let anyone dim her light. On Jan. 13, the Honest Company founder stepped out for the first time since news of her and Cashâs separation for a quick trip to Erewhon in Los Angeles to grab lunch.Â
According to eyewitnesses, Jessica appeared to be in a great mood, before taking her groceries to a nearby park with her youngest son and a friend.Â

Despite their separation and preceding breakup speculation, Jessica and Cash have put on a united front. After all, the couple stepped out for a trip to Universal Studios to celebrate Hayesâ birthday just days before their breakup was confirmed.Â
âThe best day at #UniversalStudios celebrating our 7-year-old, Hayes,â Jessica wrote in a Jan. 3 Instagram post. âThank you for having us.â
Jessica and Cash have also been open about how much support they gave each other throughout their relationship.Â
"We can talk about anything,â Cash explained during a 2021 episode of the Works for Us podcast during an appearance alongside Jessica. âWe can sit down, we can make each other laugh, we can piss each other offâjust that best friend friendship, that trust.â
Meanwhile, Jessica emphasized at the time that Cash was her âride or die.â
âWeâre in it,â she added. âWe both committed to being in it. The second you can choose to be in it, is when you're like, 'Hmm, I don't know, I can probably choose to not do this anymore.â The second that happens, that's when it gets weird.â
Their romantic chapter may have come to an end, but keep reading for a look back on the coupleâs family moments...
