Jessica Alba and Cash Warren have called it quits and are working on making their split official.
Alba, 43, plans to file for divorce “soon,” a source close to her and Warren exclusively told Us Weekly. In the meantime, the Los Angeles wildfires have slowed the process — the pair are spending more time together and with their three kids, Honor, 16, Haven, 13 and Hayes, 6.
“Cash has been slowly moving things out of their house but since the fires, they have been spending more time under one roof as a family,” the source explains. “They are being there for each other right now as it is a very stressful time.”
Alba has also been spending her time working with Baby2Baby, a nonprofit on whose board she serves, by putting together fire relief hygiene kits. She posted photos and videos of the kits via her Instagram story on Tuesday, January 14, urging her followers to donate to relief efforts.
The source adds that Alba plans to keep the couple’s Beverly Hills home and that they are “working it all out behind the scenes.”
Alba and Warren, 46, married in 2008 — four years after the two met on the set of The Fantastic Four in 2004, where Alba played Sue Storm and Warren was a production assistant. After 16 years of marriage, on January 8 news broke of their split.

The source reveals that their decision to divorce wasn’t the first time the pair have considered breaking up over the course of their marriage.
“They have had many ups and downs as any marriage would after being together for so many years,” the insider says. “They have tried therapy and have worked out past issues over the years.”
Noting that “at the end of the day, the romance was gone between them,” the source adds that “there were trust issues in the past which led to many arguments.”
Alba has spoken publicly about the challenges in her marriage before, including on Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt’s “BDA Baby” podcast in April 2024.
“It’s all rosy for 2 and a half years, but then after that you become roommates,” she said at the time. “And it’s just, like, you’re roommates. You’re just going through the motion. It’s the responsibility. It’s a lot of, like, checking the boxes.”
Pratt empathized with Alba, asking how she balances work with making sure “your husband feels tended to.’
Jessica Alba and Cash Warren have been vocal about their efforts to keep the spark in their relationship alive while raising three children.

“If you’ve figured it out in your relationship, let me know,” Alba replied. “You know, I think that [Warren] probably gets the short end of the stick. … It’s hard. It’s impossible.”
Warren, for his part, opened up about the “hard work” that went into his marriage in an exclusive interview with Us in July 2024.
“I think, ultimately, the friendship and support and just knowing that your partner has your back means everything to us,” he said. “I think that would be the secret, is just having each other’s back. It’s hard work, but we roll up our sleeves and we do it. It’s wild. It’s the longest relationship I could have ever imagined.”
