Jessica Alba and Cash Warren were rocked with reports of a split over the past few weeks. Now, the Honest Company founder is taking to social media to confirm the news.
The actress and entrepreneur, 43, in the midst of active relief efforts supporting those affected by the Los Angeles wildfires, shared an official statement on Instagram.
"I've been on a journey of self realization and transformation for years – both as an individual and in partnership with Cash," she penned, calling time on their 16-year marriage.
"I'm proud of how we've grown 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."
"We are moving forward with love, kindness and respect for each other and will forever be family. Our children remain our highest priority and we request privacy at this time," she concluded.
The couple are the parents of teen daughters Honor Marie, 16, and Haven Garner, 13, as well as youngest son Hayes, seven.
Cash, 46, previously spoke with HELLO! about balancing the responsibilities of parenthood with work, and creating an "open line of communication" between the parents and their children.
"Family dinner is extremely important for us," he says, just as it is "giving them the freedom" to make mistakes, and the confidence to learn from those mistakes."

"I think it's just learning how to communicate and talking through it, and allowing for mistake making. At least with our 16-year-old, it's proven super valuable."
The film producer noted, though, that each of their kids was "so different," adding: "So there is no manual, there's no playbook, there's no kind of, 'What works here is definitely going to work over there.' Each kid is different, so it requires a unique approach to anything you're going through or dealing with."
"That has been one of the harder things, that each kid is so different, and so they require their own new set of rules and parameters," he continued. "It's enjoyable. It keeps us on our toes, and it keeps us young. Having kids, having teenage girls, keeps Jessica and I young."

Days before confirming the news, an interview from April 2024 started making the rounds in which Jessica spoke of her relationship with Cash mimicking living with a roommate.
Speaking with Katherine Schwarzenegger on the BDA Baby podcast, she said: "I would say it's all rosy for two-and-a-half years. But then after that you become roommates. You're just going through the motions, the responsibilities. It's a lot of like checking the boxes."

She also spoke about how parenting affected their marriage, adding: "I think that he probably gets the short end of the stick," clarifying after: "I would say we‚ it's not even him, I would say it's us, right? Because when I'm seeing him and spending time with him, and we're like really like enjoying each other, it's an us thing. And it feeds me as well."
"We used to do every Wednesday we're going to do date night, or every week we're gonna set aside a time — we're gonna at least do date night, right? We won't have our phones and we'll just, like, talk. But then that stopped because whatever, and so we're just not consistent."
