Jessica Alba's Expensive Prenuptial Agreement Lesson in Multi-Million Dollar Divorce
Jessica Alba has learned a very expensive lesson about the importance of prenuptial agreements following her multi-million dollar divorce settlement with ex-husband Cash Warren, finalized on February 12th. The 44-year-old actress and entrepreneur, founder of The Honest Company, will see her former spouse receive significant financial assets from their 16-year marriage.
Financial Details of the Divorce Settlement
Cash Warren, 47, a retired producer who originally met Alba in 2004 while working as an assistant to director Tim Story during the filming of Fantastic Four, will receive half of Alba's residuals for all work she completed during their marriage. This includes her earnings from the 2014 sequel Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, for which she was reportedly paid between $1 and $2 million.
Other projects from which Warren will receive residuals include Valentine's Day, both Machete films, Little Fockers, Spy Kids: All the Time in the World, The Spoils of Babylon, Mechanic: Resurrection, Killers Anonymous, L.A.'s Finest, and Trigger Warning.
Assets Alba Retains and Shared Property
Alba retains full ownership of royalties from projects completed before her 2008 marriage, including Fantastic Four and its 2007 sequel Rise of the Silver Surfer, as well as Never Been Kissed and Honey. According to TMZ, she was awarded all furniture, clothing, jewelry, several bank accounts, an Audi Q-6 E-tron, a 2025 Kia Sportage, and a 2026 Kia Sportage.
The former couple will split their marital furniture, art collection, and airline miles. Warren keeps his 2024 BMW i7, and both parties will divide investments in companies including Popchips, WeWork, Hopscout, Sona Labs, and Telly Inc.
The Honest Company and Business Ventures
Alba co-founded The Honest Company in 2011, which reportedly has an IPO valuation of $308 million. As part of the settlement, Warren receives 1,170,058 vested restricted stock shares and 4,523,035 certificate-restricted shares from the company.
Warren, son of Hill Street Blues actor Michael Warren, co-founded the sock and underwear company Pair of Thieves in 2014 with David Ehrenberg and Alan Stuart. The company reportedly achieved $100 million in sales in 2024.
Additional Settlement Terms and Family Arrangements
TMZ revealed that Alba will pay Warren a $3 million settlement, with $1.5 million due immediately and the remaining $1.5 million payable in 2027. Neither party will pay child or spousal support.
The former couple shares joint custody of their 14-year-old daughter Haven and 8-year-old son Hayes. Their 17-year-old daughter Honor is set to attend Yale University, her father's alma mater.
Post-Divorce Relationships and Career Updates
Since their divorce filing, Alba began dating 33-year-old actor Danny Ramirez in July, though she avoided making their relationship red carpet official at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. Warren has been romantically linked to 21-year-old singer Seanna Pereira and 26-year-old UCLA graduate Hana Sun Doerr.
Professionally, Alba has several upcoming projects including roles in Justin Chadwick's spy thriller The Mark, Dakota Johnson's directorial debut A Tree is Blue, and Bobby Moresco's sports car biopic Maserati: The Brothers. She will also executive produce Fox's mystery drama pilot Wine & Spirits and an R-rated female ensemble comedy for Netflix.
Alba originally gained fame portraying genetically-enhanced supersoldier Max Guevara in James Cameron's sci-fi drama Dark Angel, which aired on Fox from 2000 to 2002. Her reality show Honest Renovations was recently renewed for a fourth season on The Roku Channel.
