Jessica Alba has reportedly booked a divorce lawyer days after sources confirmed her separation from Cash Warren. The famous couple’s breakup made headlines on January 9, with an insider claiming they had no bad blood. They noted the pair were still “friends and all about the kids,” adding:
“No matter what’s going on right now, it seems they will remain close. If they’re filing for divorce, it’s not because of some hateful drama. They still look happy together.”
The informant implied the split was a long time coming because of Alba’s previous comments about her marriage. She had allegedly mentioned over the years that it was “hard to keep the spark” with Warren. Although the duo might have split amicably, it did not stop the actress from preparing for a divorce.
The Sin City star has not filed for a divorce, but sources noted she has retained a divorce attorney. Her move marks another step closer to the finalization of her 16-year to Warren. They met on the set of Fantastic Four in 2004, where Alba played the character Sue Storm. Meanwhile, her estranged beau served as a director’s assistant.
Alba and Warren tied the knot in 2008 and welcomed three children — daughters Honor and Haven and son Hayes. It was unclear what sparked the end of their union, as they seemed happily in love in May 2024. At the time, the TV personality marked their 16th wedding anniversary with a touching tribute, per PEOPLE.
