Jessica Alba and Cash Warren Finalize Divorce: Joint Custody, Seven-Figure Equalization Payment Settle Split
Court documents filed in California officially end the nearly two-decade relationship between Jessica Alba and Cash Warren. The settlement establishes joint custody of their three children, foregoes spousal support for both parties, and includes a seven-figure equalization payment to settle the couple's financial division.
Settlement specifics: custody, money and name change
The divorce paperwork finalizes joint custody of the couple's three children, who are listed as 17, 14 and 7. Neither spouse will be required to pay ongoing spousal support, and the agreement calls for a $3 million payment from Alba to Warren to even out the division of assets.
That $3 million will be paid in two non-taxable installments: $1. 5 million immediately and a second $1. 5 million one year from the initial payment. The settlement language restores Alba's legal surname to Alba.
The filings cite irreconcilable differences and list the couple's date of separation as Dec. 27, 2024 (ET). The petition to dissolve the marriage was filed the following month, in February 2025 (ET).
Representation, tone and the public aftermath
Both sides moved through the process with legal counsel. The proceeding has been described as amicable, with lawyers negotiating terms that kept custody shared and eliminated ongoing spousal support obligations. The equalization payment is designed to divide assets cleanly and avoid protracted disputes.
In the months since the separation was announced, Alba has been seen publicly with actor Danny Ramirez, while Warren has been romantically linked in social settings to actress Seanna Pereira and model Hana Sun Doerr. The couple's focus in the finalized deal appears aimed at minimizing disruption for the children and closing the matter swiftly so each parent can move forward privately and professionally.
What this means for both careers and family
With the legal chapter concluded, both Alba and Warren can continue building their individual lives. Alba has returned to acting and business pursuits, while Warren remains involved in film production. The joint custody arrangement signals an ongoing commitment to co-parenting, and the structured financial settlement reduces the likelihood of future court battles over assets.
While high-profile splits often generate prolonged public attention, this agreement underscores a practical end to a long partnership: shared custody priorities for their teenage and younger children, a sizable but finite financial settlement, and a legal reset of Alba's surname. For now, the paperwork is complete and both parties appear poised to concentrate on family stability and their respective careers.
