Fans of Jessica Alba and Cash Warren’s relationship were left shocked on January 8 when news broke that the couple, after nearly 17 years of marriage, were headed for divorce. TMZ reported the news, stating that sources with direct knowledge explaining that the couple recently separated and are now going through with a divorce.
While Warren and Alba’s separation feels sudden, the good news is that the former couple are still “friends and all about the kids” despite their split, a source told People after the divorce news broke.
The spouse’s divorce is anticipated to be an amicable one, according to the outlet’s source—”No matter what’s going on right now, it seems they will remain close,” the insider explained. And don’t expect any drama to come from the actress and film producer in the future, either. “If they’re filing for divorce, it’s not because of some hateful drama. They still look happy together,” the source added.
