Are Jessica Alba and Cash Warren Heading for Divorce? The Truth Behind Their Relationship Revealed

This wasn’t so “Fantastic Four” their marriage.

Jessica Alba admitted that she and her now-estranged husband Cash Warren had been more like “roommates” years before their divorce announcement surprised fans on Wednesday.

The “Good Luck Chuck” actress shared this candid remark about her relationship on Katherine Schwarzenegger’s Instagram show, “Before, During and After Baby,” in July 2021.

“Everything is wonderful for the first two and a half years. But after that, you end up just being roommates,” Alba revealed in the video.

“You’re simply going through the motions,” she continued. “There are responsibilities, and it involves a lot of just ticking off boxes, right?”

In another part of the discussion, the “Dark Angel” alum confessed that she frequently took their relationship for granted.

“We have, like, obviously the friendship, the comfort of, like, ‘you’re not going anywhere,’ and so sometimes you don’t treat those people the best, right?” Alba said.

“You don’t consider their feelings in the way that you would consider other people’s feelings,” she continued. “So that is something that I think is a constant one to work on.”

She shared that the duo attempted to work through their problems by “confronting issues” and “being able to communicate when [they’re] unhappy.”

Alba, 43, and the film producer, 45, recently separated and are planning to divorce after nearly 17 years of marriage, a source told TMZ Wednesday.

The reason behind the pair's decision to part ways was not immediately apparent, and their representatives did not respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

The now-exes are parents to three children: daughters Honor, 16, and Haven, 13, as well as 7-year-old son Hayes.
