<p id=”par-2_58″>Alba, who announced her divorce in January 2025 (more on that later), is anxious to start the next chapter of her life as a newly single woman. “This has been over between Cash and Jessica <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/jessica-alba-spent-year-going-through-the-motions-cash-warren-announcing-split.html/”>in a romance sense</a> for a long time,” a source told <a href=”https://www.lifeandstylemag.com/posts/jessica-alba-is-ready-to-have-fun-after-cash-warren-divorce/”><em>Life </em></a><a href=”https://www.lifeandstylemag.com/posts/jessica-alba-is-ready-to-have-fun-after-cash-warren-divorce/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”><em>& Style</em></a>. “She even said it straight up—they became like roommates.” </p>
<p id=”par-3_48″>Warren, 46, and Alba, 43, met while filming 2005’s <em>The Fantastic Four</em>. He was a director’s assistant and she played Sue Storm. The former couple went on to marry in a 2008 civil ceremony. They share three children: daughters Honor, 16, and Haven, 13, and son Hayes, 7. </p>
<p id=”par-4_45″>“Things have wrapped up with no ugliness, so that’s not weighing her down. As far as divorces go, it’s going smoothly,” the insider added. Amid her and Warren’s split, the <em>Honey </em>star “feels lighter” and is “ready to have some fun back in her life.” </p>

<p id=”par-5_48″>The insider continued, saying that when Alba’s divorce is official, fans “can expect to see her at a lot more events and out a lot more.” Her reasons supposedly involve work and play. “It will be to socialize and network but also to meet quality guys,” they said. </p>
<p id=”par-6_35″>“No doubt plenty of high-profile men will use the classic Hollywood way and have their managers reach out to her team and go that route, and she will be open to that,” the source said.</p>
<p id=”par-7_57″>Alba, for her part, is keeping an open mind. “She’s not ruling out dating a regular guy. But she’s taking her friends’ advice and plans to try dating someone at her level of celebrity. They’re all telling her that it will be a better power balance and rule out some of the issues she had with Cash.”</p>
<p id=”par-8_15″>At this point, they added, “guys are already staking their claim now that she’s eligible.”</p>
