Jessica Alba's love story comes to an end as she heads for divorce after 17 years of marriage

Jessica Alba and her husband, Cash Warren, are reportedly separating after nearly 17 years of marriage. According to sources cited by TMZ, the couple recently decided to part ways and are heading toward divorce. The pair, who tied the knot in May 2008, share three children: daughters Honor, 16, and Haven, 13, as well as their youngest, son Hayes, 7. While the reason for their split remains unclear, representatives for both stars have not yet commented on the matter.

Despite the news of their separation, Alba and Warren have shown a united front in recent months. The family celebrated Thanksgiving together in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, where Alba shared a heartfelt post on Instagram. "Happy #Thanksgiving from me and mine to you and yours ," she captioned a family photo, adding, "Sending lots of love and light." The holidays continued to be a family affair as the five spent Christmas together, which Alba also commemorated online. "Happy Holidays from our familia to yours," she wrote alongside another group photo.

The couple was last seen together publicly just last week while celebrating their son Hayes' 7th birthday at Universal Studios. Alba shared highlights of the day on Instagram, writing, "The best day at #UniversalStudios celebrating our 7 year old, Hayes! Thank you for having us, @unistudios."

However, eagle-eyed fans noticed some subtle details in recent photos. In several images, Alba's left hand was strategically hidden, while Warren's bare left ring finger was visible in a couple of shots. Additionally, Alba has been spotted without her wedding ring in recent paparazzi photos.

A 17-year love story comes to an end

Alba and Warren's love story began on the set of Fantastic Four in 2004, where Warren worked as the assistant director and Alba played the iconic role of Sue Storm. The couple got engaged in December 2007 and had a low-key courthouse wedding in Beverly Hills the following year when Alba was pregnant with their eldest daughter. Over the years, they have often been seen as a power couple balancing careers and family life.

While the news of their separation marks the end of an era for the duo, they appear committed to co-parenting their three children and spending quality time as a family. For now, fans continue to speculate about what lies ahead for both stars.
