00:00Jessica Alba and Cash Warren have been married happily, we always assumed, and probably were,
00:07for more than 16 years now.
00:09So, I think a lot of people are going to be surprised at the story we broke this morning
00:13that they are heading for divorce.
00:15Already separated, we are told, and one of them will be filing divorce papers very shortly.
00:21There was evidence of this. There have been photos of them recently without their wedding rings.
00:26Yeah, and some photos were, actually, we should say the most recent was last week.
00:32Jessica went to a pre-Golden Globes party. She had no wedding ring on.
00:37Cash was also out last week, out with a buddy out for a walk. No wedding ring.
00:42The last time that they were photographed together, out anywhere publicly, was a Laker game, early November.
00:51And certainly at that point, there's nothing outwardly that you would have seen.
00:55It seems like there was trouble, but we are told they are already separated.
01:00They did get together recently for their kids. They have three kids.
01:04And over the weekend, they went to Universal to celebrate one of the kids' birthdays.
01:10So, they are at least, at the very least, you can see here, going to be co-parenting, and we'd expect that.
01:17But the divorce, which has not been filed yet, but we know that it is...
01:22And it's unclear if there was a prenup, you guys. Jessica, during the time that they were married,
01:26she launched a hugely successful company, The Honest Company, which actually is a billion-dollar company.
01:32So, look, it's unclear if they did have a prenup or not, but if they didn't, there's going to be a lot to chop up here.
01:39I would say that, you know, she was a very successful actress before they met.
01:44And I would say, of course, they did have a prenup. And I don't say that anymore, because Ben and Jen,
01:53you would think, of all people, they would have a prenup for all sorts of reasons, yet they didn't.
01:59So, we don't know. We don't know. But that is essentially the status that we're told.
02:06And I got to say, you know, when we do our morning meetings, we sometimes talk about celebrities
02:14and who they're dating and marrying, and a lot of the staff here thinks, oh, a celebrity should marry a celebrity.
02:21And it's like, that doesn't have to happen that way. And everybody says, well, it doesn't work if they don't.
02:26And I always pointed to Cash Warren and Jessica Alba.
02:30I would always point out to you, I understand he wasn't a celebrity, but he was, one, comes from a celebrity family,
02:37and was working in the movie business, even when they met on the set of the Fantastic Four.
02:42He was a production assistant, though.
02:43He was the director's assistant on the Fantastic Four, which he was starring in.
02:48No, he was a successful, smart guy, but it's not what they were talking about in the meeting.
02:52It's not what they were talking about. They were talking about, you need to have celebrities of equal stature.
02:58So from now on, you have to go to Julia Roberts and Danny Motor, right?
03:02Stay together.
03:03You've got to back up.
