Who Is Jessica Alba's Estranged Husband? All About Cash Warren and Their 20-Year Relationship

Jessica Alba and Cash Warren were together for 20 years before announcing their split.

The former couple met while shooting her 2005 film Fantastic Four, where he was working as a director's assistant. They immediately hit it off, and Warren later revealed in a 2022 YouTube video that he fell in love with her “from the first moment.”

In December 2007, Alba and Warren announced they were engaged and expecting their first child. They eloped on May 19, 2008, at a courthouse in Beverly Hills, Calif. During their 16 years of marriage, Alba and Warren welcomed three children, daughters Honor and Haven and son Hayes.

On Jan. 16, 2025, The Honest Company co-founder announced on Instagram that she and Warren were embarking “on a new chapter of growth and evolution as individuals.”

So, who is Jessica Alba's estranged husband Cash Warren? Here’s everything to know about the entrepreneur and his 16-year marriage to the actress.

He’s a former film producer

Warren has produced movies such as Taxi and In the Blood, as well as TV series like 30 for 30 and Independent Lens. His last film project was as an executive producer for the Indian-American family reality web series Meet the Keswanis in 2015, per IMDB.

His dad is Emmy-nominated actor Michael Warren

Warren’s father is Michael Warren, a college basketball star and actor best known for his role as Officer Bobby Hill on the NBC police procedural series Hill Street Blues, which earned him an Emmy nomination in 1983.

“43 years ago, a baby boy was born into his mom, Susie, and my life, and we named him Cash Garner Warren,” Michael captioned a 2022 Instagram post wishing his son a happy birthday. “We both cried with joy and I instantly felt a true blessing … It has been a remarkable journey. He has always been a wonderful son and watching him grow into being a caring and loving father touches my heart immeasurably.”

Alba and Warren met on the set of Fantastic Four

The former couple first crossed paths in 2004 while working on the superhero action flick Fantastic Four. Alba famously played Sue Storm, and one of Warren’s jobs as an assistant director was to take Polaroid photos of her wearing different contact lenses.

Not long after that, they started dating — but they broke up four years into their relationship because Warren was “really jealous” of the attention Alba was getting from other guys. He told iHeartPodcast's Whine Down with Jana Kramer in 2023, “I was turning into an a------, and so we broke up.”

During that period of separation, the former film producer promised himself to find a “more productive way” to deal with his jealousy if they got back together.

They got married in 2008

After confirming that they were engaged and expecting their first child, Warren and Alba eloped at a courthouse in Beverly Hills, Calif on May 19, 2008. A source told PEOPLE that they applied for a marriage license at 11:30 a.m. and were married 40 minutes later. No one else was in attendance.

“It wasn't planned," Alba told Glamour U.K. in 2022. "It was literally, 'Honey, do you have anything to do this morning?' And [Warren] was like, 'No.' So I said, 'Should we go to the courthouse and get married?' And he was like, 'Yeah.' And then I said, 'Can we get waffles afterwards because I have a doctor's appointment? Will you come to my doctor's appointment?' And that's how it happened!"

They have three children

Warren and Alba have three children: daughters Honor Marie Warren (born June 7, 2008) and Haven Garner Warren (born Aug. 13, 2011) and son Hayes Alba Warren (born Dec. 31, 2017).

Though the father of three isn’t very active on his Instagram, he occasionally posts photos and videos of his kids. In May 2023, he bonded with Hayes over their shared love of monster trucks, and in September 2024, he thanked both of his daughters for “making Dad life so damn fulfilling.”

“I knew you’d have me wrapped around your fingers,” Warren wrote in a caption alongside photos of Honor and Haven. “I always assumed being a dad would change my life but I could have never imagined how much it would change my soul.”

He founded a men’s apparel brand

In 2013, Warren launched a premium sock brand called Pair of Thieves with his longtime friends Alan Stuart and David Ehrenberg, per the Los Angeles Business Journal. They eventually expanded to offering men’s underwear, shirts and loungewear.

“We all have kids so we’ve always felt that so many things are geared towards Mom and their kids,” Warren told VIBE in 2015. “There is not a lot for fathers and their kids so we thought because guys love socks so much, socks will be a fun thing to match with your daughter or son.”

Alba announced their breakup in 2025

After reports of a breakup between the actress and entreprenuer surfaced in early 2025, Alba confirmed the former couple had split on Jan. 16.

“I've been on a journey of self realization and transformation for years - both as an individual and in partnership with Cash,” the Trigger Warning actress wrote. “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 continued, "We are moving forward with love and kindness and respect for each other and will forever be family. Our children remain our highest priority and we request privacy at this time."
