Alba and Warren, who met on the set of "Fantastic Four" in 2004, tied the knot in 2008 and share three children together: daughters Honor, 16, and Haven, 13, and son Hayes, 7.
During an episode of the "Whine Down with Jana Kramer" podcast in 2023, Warren, a film producer, admitted that they had briefly separated four years into their relationship.
Warren said when he and Alba first started dating, he was "really jealous of other guys and the attention that she was getting from other guys."
"It just wasn’t making me feel good," he said. "I was always a pretty confident person… And next thing you know, I’m looking up and just feeling jealous all the time."

"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," he said, adding that he felt like he was "turning into an a--hole."
He continued, "We broke up. And during that time apart, I was just, like, if we ever got back together – I, like, made a promise to myself to channel that in a different way, into a more productive way."
In 2021, Alba opened up about the struggles she also faced in her marriage.
"It's all rosy for 2 1/2 years," Alba said during an interview on Katherine Schwarzenegger's Instagram show, "Before, During and After Baby." "But then after that, you become roommates."

"You're just going through the motions," she added. "You have the responsibilities. It's a lot of, like, checking the boxes, right?"
In May 2024, Alba marked the former couple's 16th wedding anniversary with a special shoutout to Warren.

"16 years of marriage, 20 years together and forever to go… Happy Anniversary Cash Warren," she wrote alongside a carousel of family photos. "I’m proud of us for making it this far. There is no real set of rules or guidance that can ever prepare you for what it means to commit to another person and choose to be family. Through thick and thin we have continually found our way back to each other and have chosen one another. Cheers to us, I love you."
