Jessica Alba and Cash Warren reportedly faced many relationship challenges in their 17-year marriage, including jealousy and a dwindling romance.

The pair had high hopes for their marriage but soon suffered a stale relationship as they changed their “priorities” and started welcoming kids.

After reports revealed the pair are headed for a divorce, Jessica Alba confirmed the news, announcing they’re going their separate ways to “embark on a new chapter.”

Jessica Alba And Cash Warren Battled Jealousy And Lack Of Romance In Their Marriage

Alba and Warren’s marriage had its fair share of marital troubles before it finally came crashing down.

The pair met in 2004 on the “Fantastic Four” movie set and tied the knot four years later with hopes of living happily ever after together.

However, a source revealed the ups and downs they had to work out in their marriage, telling the Daily Mail that a change in their “priorities” and their lack of love became an issue along the way.

“Things have been pretty bad with them romantically for over a year,” the insider told the news outlet. “They are so devoted to their kids and their careers, but they weren’t growing their relationship. They’re just friends.”

“When they started out, they thought they were going to be working on and producing movies and TV shows together,” the source continued. “But once their businesses took off and they had kids, their priorities changed and in turn their feelings did too.”

Although there have been rumors that infidelity was the cause of their decision to pull the plug on their marriage, the source explained that wasn’t the case for the pair.

“They both want a fresh start,” the insider noted. “There was no cheating involved. They just were going through the motions in the last year or two, and it was time to move on.”

The Actress’s Business Success Allegedly Played A Part In The Breakdown Of Their Marriage

According to the news outlet, the insider shared that Alba’s success in business left Warren thinking that their relationship was no longer a priority for her.

The “Honey” actress co-founded The Honest Company in 2011, which was valued at $1.44 billion when it went public in 2021.

Meanwhile, Warren’s business ventures, which include the production company Verso Entertainment and the underwear brand Pair of Thieves, are reported to generate over $100 million in revenue.

The source told the Daily Mail that Alba was “so focused on her business that she didn’t give Cash any leverage to make things work, and he did try.”

“She just continued to shoot down any attempts to go on dates and do stuff as a couple,” they shared. “It reached a point where it was easier for him to give up and give her what he felt she ultimately wanted.”

Cash Warren’s Jealousy Was An Issue

During an appearance on Jana Kramer’s “Whine Down” podcast in 2023, Warren opened up about how his jealousy almost ruined their relationship in its budding phase.

The Hollywood producer, who doesn’t appear to have worked in the industry since 2015, explained that when they first got together, he was “really jealous of other guys and the attention she was getting from other guys,” adding that “It just wasn’t making me feel good.”

“I was always a pretty confident person in my own [life], walking my own path and really happy there, and next thing you know, I’m looking up and feeling jealous all the time,” he shared, per the Daily Mail. “I was like, ‘I hate feeling like this. It doesn’t make me feel good, and I know it doesn’t make you feel good.’”

Warren’s jealous trait led to the pair taking a four-year break.

“It was the jealousy. I was turning into an a-shole, and we broke up,” Warren explained, adding that he had to work on his feelings and became Alba’s biggest supporter and a “good teammate.”

Jessica Alba And Cash Warren To File For Divorce ‘Soon’

Meanwhile, the exes have yet to file for a divorce officially but are already negotiating the details of their impending split.

According to US Weekly, a source explained that the estranged couple plans to file for divorce “soon,” though the proceeding seems to have been stalled by the ongoing L.A. fires.

“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 said. “They are being there for each other right now as it is a very stressful time.”

The Former Couple Plan To Remain Friends

Amid their split, a source told People Magazine that they’re still “friends and all about the kids” but suggested it’ll be hard for them not to formally split because it’s been “hard to keep the spark” in their marriage.

“No matter what’s going on right now, it seems they will remain close,” the insider said.

They continued, “If they’re filing for divorce, it’s not because of some hateful drama. They still look happy together. Jess has mentioned over the years, though, that it’s hard to keep the spark.”
