She was spotted without her ring during the casual outing.
Days after the world learned that Jessica Alba and Cash Warren are getting a divorce after almost 17 years of marriage, the Honest Company founder chose effortless winter staples for her first appearance since the news of her split broke. The Never Been Kissed actress showed that she’s moving on as she ditched her wedding ring for her Tuesday, December 14 outing, layering in a cozy sweater and baby blue puffer jacket as she stepped out with her son and a friend.
Grabbing some takeout at Erewhon for an al fresco lunch, Alba was all smiles as she headed to a Hollywood park with 7-year-old Hayes. The actress-turned-entrepreneur wore the classic cold-weather essentials everyone needs in their closet, pairing a taupe mock-neck knit sweater with straight-leg jeans, Gen Z-approved white tennis shoes, and a light blue bomber-style jacket with silky sheen fabric and silver hardware. Wearing her long, caramel-woven balayage locks in middle-parted beach waves, Alba accessorized with a nude leather side bag with a silver chain strap, oversized black sunglasses, and large hoop earrings.
Alba’s cheerful appearance comes amid reports that there are no hard feelings involved in her decision to end her longtime relationship with the film producer. Shortly after the news of their impending divorce broke, a source told People that the couple–who share daughters Honor, 16, and Haven, 13, and son Hayes–are still “friends and all about the kids” as they navigate their breakup.
“No matter what's going on right now, it seems they will remain close," the insider revealed, adding, "If they're filing for divorce, it's not because of some hateful drama.”
Instead, it seems like difficulty in “keep[ing] the spark” alive might have led to their marriage’s demise. Alba previously said their dynamic was like “roommates” during her April 2024 appearance on Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt’s BDA Baby podcast.
“It’s all rosy for 2.5 years, but then after that, you become roommates,” she said about how her marriage had evolved. “You’re just going through the motions. It’s the responsibility. It’s a lot of, like, checking the boxes.”
She admitted that the comfort of knowing the person isn’t “going anywhere” sometimes leads you to take them for granted. “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. If you’ve figured it out in your relationship, let me know.”
Meanwhile, Warren also revealed their marriage wasn’t easy sailing six months before their divorce announcement. In an interview with Us Weekly, he told the outlet, “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.”
