Jessica Alba showed her appreciation for estranged husband Cash Warren on Father’s Day.
Jessica, 44, took to Instagram on Sunday, June 15, to pay tribute to Warren, 46, whom she filed to divorce one month after announcing the pair’s separation in January.
“Happy Father’s Day, @Cash_Warren,” Jessica wrote over a photo of Warren holding the couple’s youngest child, Hayes, 7, in 2017. The pair also share daughters Honor, 17, and Haven, 13.
“Our babies couldn’t have a better dad — warm, kind, present, always knowing what to say,” she continued. “I admire your patience and the way you hold space for them, making them feel safe and light after every conversation. Thank you for being their rock.”
Us Weekly confirmed that both Jessica and Warren filed for divorce, obtaining court documents at the time that listed a formal separation date of December 27, 2024. The estranged couple were married for 16 years, tying the knot four years after meeting on the set of 2004’s Fantastic Four.
Jessica addressed the pair’s split via an Instagram post on January 16. “I’ve been on a journey of self-realization and transformation for years — both as an individual and in partnership with Cash,” she wrote in the social media statement at the time. “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.”
The Sin City star added, “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.”
Jessica’s Father’s Day tributes didn’t stop at Warren. She also shared multiple Instagram Stories that honored her own father, Mark Alba. “Your constant support through every chapter has meant everything to me,” Jessica wrote alongside a photo of herself being held as a baby by her father. “From the very start, you and mom were the ones who truly encouraged me to be independent — and that gift has shaped so much of who I am. I’m forever grateful.”
One of the final Stories in her tribute to Mark included the concluding text, “I love you so much, and I love watching you be the most fun, silly and joyful papa to Honor, Haven , Hayesie, Carter and Brooklynn.” (Jessica referred to the two children that belong to her younger brother, Joshua Alba.)
A source told Us exclusively last month that Alba is embracing her newfound single era. “[Jessica has] gone on dates, but she isn’t seeing anyone specific right now,” the insider said in a May issue of Us. “She’s having a lot of fun going out with her girlfriends and being more spontaneous. She’s embracing all the attention she’s getting.”
