Jessica Alba has enjoyed a whirlwind of high-profile relationships throughout her career. Let’s take a look back at her romantic past, from early connections to her recent split.
The Michael Weatherly Romance (2000-2003)
Alba’s first major romance began on the set of her hit television series, *Dark Angel*, where she met actor Michael Weatherly. They quickly became engaged in 2001, but unfortunately, the relationship didn’t last. Alba revealed in a 2005 interview with *Cosmopolitan* that she was just 18 at the time and a virgin, stating, “I wanted to be in love with the first person I slept with because for almost everyone I knew, the first experience made them feel like s*.” The pair ultimately called it off in 2003.
Brief Flirtations & The Cash Warren Connection (2004-2025)
Following her split from Weatherly, Alba briefly dated Mark Wahlberg and Derek Jeter. However, it was her relationship with Cash Warren that proved to be her most enduring. They met while filming *Fantastic Four* in 2004 and quickly fell in love. The couple married in 2008 and went on to build a family, welcoming daughters Honor (born 2008), Haven (born 2011), and Hayes (born 2017).

Just last month, in January 2025, Alba and Warren announced their separation after 16 years of marriage. Alba shared a heartfelt message on Instagram, stating: “I’ve been on a journey of self-realization and transformation for years — both as an individual and in partnership with Cash. I’m proud of how we’ve grown our marriage over the last 20 years and it’s not time for us to embark on a new chapter of growth and evolution as individuals.”
