Jessica Alba she officially filed for divorce from her husband, Cash Warrennoting that they are indeed splitting up after 17 years as a couple.

This comes after it was revealed the couple were heading for divorce, with Alba recently retaining a lawyer, hinting there is no going back.

Jessica Alba has spoken about her marriage in the past and once noted that she and Cash Warren lived as "roommates."

Alba took to her social media page to finally open up about her split from Cash Warren, noting that they plan to embark on a new chapter of growth as "individuals."

She said: "I've been on a journey of self-discovery and transformation for years - both as an individual and in partnership with Cash."

Alba continued, "I'm proud of how we've grown as a couple and in our marriage over the past 20 years, and now it's time to embark on a new chapter of growth and evolution as individuals."

Concluding her statement, Alba asked for privacy for her family, especially her children. The actress noted that she and Warren plan to remain friendly as they move forward with "love."

She wrote: "We move forward with love and kindness and respect for each other and we will forever be a family. Our children remain our highest priority and we request privacy at this time."

It seems that the duo's divorce is inevitable, as it was recently confirmed that the actress has hired a divorce lawyer.

Alba and Warren met on the set of "Fantastic Four" in 2004, where he was on the production team. They married in 2008 and had three children: daughters Honor and Haven and son Hayes.

In the midst of their split, the source said People Magazine that they are still "friends and all about the kids", but suggested that it will be difficult for them not to formally split up as it is "hard to keep the spark" in their marriage.

"No matter what's going on right now, it looks like they're going to stay close," the insider said. "If they're filing for divorce, it's not because of some hate drama. They still seem happy together. Jess has mentioned over the years that it's hard to keep the spark going."

Despite the collapse of their marriage, the estranged couple have seemingly decided to move on without any animosity towards each other, the source said US Weekly that their children's well-being is their priority.

"Kesh has been slowly moving things out of their house, but since the fire, they've been spending more time under one roof as a family," the source said.

"They are there for each other right now because it is a very stressful time," they added.

The source also revealed that Alba will keep their Beverly Hills home and that she and Warren are "doing everything behind the scenes."

"They've had a lot of ups and downs like any marriage after being together for so many years," the insider said, adding that Alba and Warren have "tried therapy and worked through past issues over the years."

The exes seem to have been trying to save their marriage, however, "the romance has died down between them" and "there have been trust issues in the past that have led to many arguments."

Alba could seemingly part with a huge amount of money in her breakup with Warren due to the disparity in their wealth.

Said legal expert and family law expert Goldie Schon The sun that Alba could be forced to pay Warren $2 million a year regardless of whether they signed a prenuptial agreement.

Her fortune doubled after their marriage, and her company, The Honest Company, was valued at $609 million. On the other hand, Warren is a producer who doesn't seem to have worked in the industry since 2015.

"Even if there's a prenuptial agreement, and she keeps what's hers, so the Honest Company, which is quite lucrative, that's not going to stop the issue of spousal support," Schon told the news outlet.

"We've evolved when it comes to prenuptial agreements, and we've had some very big cases, historically, that have led to prenuptial agreements not being able to terminate spousal support between couples who are about to get married."
