LOS ANGELES — Jessica Alba and her spouse, Cash Warren, have decided to part ways after 16 years of marriage. Alba took to Instagram on Thursday to discuss their separation, emphasizing that they are now entering a new phase separately while prioritizing their three children.

In her post, Alba reflected on their journey together, stating, “I’ve been on a journey of self-realization and transformation for years — both as an individual and in partnership with Cash. I’m proud of how we’ve grown as a couple and in our marriage over the last 20 years, and it’s now time for us to embark on a new chapter of growth and evolution as individuals.” She expressed a commitment to ensuring their children remain a central focus during this transition.

There has been no response from the representatives of Alba and Warren regarding media inquiries about their separation. The couple initially crossed paths in 2004 on the set of “Fantastic Four,” where Alba portrayed Sue Storm and Warren served as an assistant to director Tim Story.

The couple shares three children, whose ages are 7, 13, and 16. Alba concluded her message by affirming their respectful approach to the separation, saying, “We are moving forward with love, kindness, and respect for each other and will forever be family.”
