It is the official end of an era—and the bold beginning of a new one. On Valentine’s Day weekend, Jessica Alba officially closed the legal chapter on her 16-year marriage to producer Cash Warren. A Los Angeles judge signed off on the pair’s divorce settlement this Friday, granting the Honest Company founder her requested name restoration to Jessica Marie Alba. But the 44-year-old mogul isn't just making headlines for her legal freedom; she is trending across social media for finally “hard-launching” her relationship with Captain America: Brave New World star Danny Ramirez in the wake of the news.
Inside the $3 Million Divorce Settlement
The dissolution of the couple’s nearly two-decade relationship has been finalized with what legal experts are calling a “clean and amicable” split. According to court documents obtained by FunnyVot, the divorce settlement includes a $3 million equalization payment from Alba to Warren to balance their assets, which will be paid in two non-taxable installments.
Despite the high stakes of unwinding a marriage that spanned the height of Alba’s transition from Hollywood leading lady to billionaire business mogul, the split appears drama-free. Both parties waived their right to spousal support, a move likely simplified by their independent successes—Warren has built his own fortune with the Pair of Thieves brand. The former couple agreed to joint legal and physical custody of their three children: Honor, 17, Haven, 14, and Hayes, 8, prioritizing co-parenting above all else.
The Danny Ramirez ‘Hard-Launch’
While the ink was drying on her divorce papers, Alba wasted no time in claiming her new narrative. Though rumors of a romance with 33-year-old actor Danny Ramirez have swirled since their trip to Cancún in July 2025, Alba has kept the relationship relatively low-profile—until now.
Coinciding with the restoration of her legal name, the Sin City star took to Instagram to share a candid, romantic photo series with Ramirez, captioned simply: “New chapters. New name. Same heart.” The post, which fans are calling her official “freedom hard-launch,” features the couple looking happier than ever, cementing Ramirez’s status as Jessica Alba’s new boyfriend in 2026. Ramirez, whose star power skyrocketed after taking up the mantle of Falcon in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, commented with a single red heart, sending fans into a frenzy.
From Friends to Lovers
Insiders close to the couple reveal that the relationship blossomed organically. “They started as friends running in the same Hollywood circles,” a source told FunnyVot. “Danny has been a rock for her during the separation process. He respects her career, her kids, and her independence. This isn’t a rebound; it’s a genuine connection built on mutual respect.” The age difference—Alba is 11 years his senior—has reportedly been a non-issue, with friends describing their dynamic as “playful yet grounded.”
A Look Back at 16 Years with Cash Warren
The finalization of the Jessica Alba divorce final marks the conclusion of one of Hollywood’s most enduring partnerships. Alba and Warren met on the set of Fantastic Four in 2004, where Warren was working as a production assistant. They married quietly in a Beverly Hills courthouse in May 2008. Over the next decade and a half, they built a family and supported each other’s business ventures, with Warren standing by Alba’s side as she built The Honest Company into a household name.
The couple announced their separation in early 2025, citing “irreconcilable differences” but emphasizing their commitment to their family. “We are moving forward with love, kindness, and respect for each other and will forever be family,” Alba wrote in her initial separation statement. True to her word, sources say the co-parenting dynamic remains healthy, with Warren fully supportive of Alba’s happiness.
What’s Next for the Honest Company Founder?
Now legally single and reclaiming her maiden name, Alba appears energized for 2026. Beyond her personal life, the Honest Company founder single status seems to have sparked a new creative wave. She is reportedly in talks for a major return to action cinema, a genre she dominated in the early 2000s. With her legal battles behind her and a Marvel superhero by her side, Jessica Alba is stepping into this next phase with clarity and confidence.
As celebrity split news goes, this one serves as a masterclass in handling a breakup with dignity while embracing the future. For Alba, that future looks bright, bold, and happily romantic.
