Hollywood star Jessica Alba has been pictured enjoying what appears to be a low-key lunch date with a strikingly handsome male model in Los Angeles, sending the rumour mill into overdrive. The sighting comes just months after the actress and businesswoman announced her separation from long-term husband Cash Warren.
The 42-year-old founder of The Honest Company looked relaxed and stylish in an all-black ensemble, keeping her sunglasses on as she chatted with her companion. The pair were seen deep in conversation outside a popular Los Angeles eatery, sharing an intimate and lengthy lunch that lasted several hours.
Her lunch date, identified as a model, cut a dashing figure in a simple grey t-shirt and jeans, showcasing a muscular physique and numerous tattoos. The casual yet cosy nature of their meeting has sparked intense speculation about the nature of their relationship.
A High-Profile Separation
Jessica Alba and film producer Cash Warren, who share three children together, announced their decision to part ways in a joint statement earlier this year after thirteen years of marriage. The couple had been together since 2008, having met on the set of 'Fantastic Four' where Warren worked as a director's assistant.
Their statement at the time emphasised their continued commitment to co-parenting their children, stating they would 'always be a family' despite the romantic separation. The news saddened fans who had followed their relationship over the years.
Life After Split
Since the separation, both Alba and Warren have been focusing on their respective careers and co-parenting their children. Alba has been primarily dedicated to growing her billion-dollar empire, The Honest Company, while also taking on selective acting roles.
This public sighting marks one of the first times Alba has been seen in what could be interpreted as a romantic context since the separation announcement. Body language experts noted the comfortable and engaged dynamic between the actress and her lunch companion, suggesting more than just a business meeting.
Representatives for Jessica Alba have not yet commented on the nature of her relationship with the model or whether this signals the beginning of a new romantic chapter for the actress.
