Jessica Alba's Estranged Husband Could Get $2M Annually In Divorce From The Wealthy Actress, Expert Says

Jessica Alba's marriage to Cash Warren may be coming to an end, and the couple's divorce may be quite expensive.

Reports suggest that Warren, who appears to have been a stay-at-home husband, may receive a $2 million yearly payout from his wealthy wife, regardless of whether the couple had a prenuptial agreement.

This revelation comes after it was revealed that Jessica Alba and Cash Warren are "separated" and "heading for a divorce," having been spotted publicly sans their wedding ring.

Cash Warren Could Walk Out Richer After Divorce From Jessica Alba

Alba and Warren's marriage may have hit the rocks, but a new report suggests the house-husband could come out of the marriage with a significant payout.

In a chat with The U.S. Sun, legal expert and powerhouse certified family law specialist Goldie Schon explained that Warren could receive a $2 million yearly payout from Alba, as the "Fantastic Four" actress has to pay much more than child support.

Schon, who specializes in complex custody and divorce cases, explains that Warren's chances of leaving their 16-year marriage richer wouldn't be affected by the presence or absence of a prenup, especially because of the large disparity in their wealth.

While Alba co-founded The Honest Company, which is valued at $609 million and once reportedly had a value of over $1 billion, Warren is a producer who does not appear to have worked in the industry since 2015.

"Even if there is a prenup, and she gets to keep what is hers, therefore, the Honest Company, which is quite lucrative, that will not stop the issue of spousal support," Schon told the news outlet.

She continued, "We have evolved when it comes to prenuptial agreements, and we've had some very large cases, historically, that have caused prenuptial agreements to not be able to terminate spousal support between couples that are about to marry."

The Change In Law That Could Favor Cash Warren And Enrich Him

The legal expert went on to explain a potential clause that could make Warren richer regardless of whether a prenup exists.

Schon cited an example, noting that if a purported prenup stipulates that neither Alba nor Warren is going to get spousal support, the court can decide that that clause is "conscionable and throw it out and still order spousal support in the same vein as it would as if the prenup never existed."

She also noted that the court could find that a possible prenup, which would have been signed 16 years ago and before Alba made millions with her company, was no longer reasonable.

Also, because their marriage falls under California's long-term marriage rules, there would be no guideline for when spousal support should be terminated.

"Spousal support would continue until somebody passes or somebody then returns to court and tries to terminate it or modify it or make it go away," she continued.

Schon added, "Because it's a long-term marriage, essentially the court does not have the power to say you're only going to pay spousal support for seven years. Eight years, two years doesn't matter. The only two people that can make that agreement are the parties."

Jessica Alba And Cash Warren Are Separated

Reports surfaced earlier this week suggesting that Alba and Warren had called it quits on their marriage and were heading for divorce.

A source told TMZ that the estranged couple "recently separated," but there have been signs that their marriage had fallen apart for some time now.

The "Trigger Warning" actress attended a pre-Golden Globes party solo last Saturday at Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood but didn't wear her wedding ring.

Also, when she joined film producer Andrea Iervolino for a night out in Rome last month, she was without her ring, raising speculation that there had been trouble in paradise. Warren had also been spotted out and about in L.A. without a ring on his left hand.

The Actress Shared A Cryptic Post Hinting At Their Split

The 43-year-old actress recently posted a cryptic message on her Instagram account about moving on from things that "make me question my worth."

"2024 cleared the path, 2025 claims the magic," Alba wrote in a note alongside photos of herself with her daughters and friends.

She added, "My mantra for 2025: If it messes with my peace, it's too damn pricey. If it dims my shine, it's got to go. If it makes me question my worth, it's getting left in 2024. I'm entering 2025 focused and fully in my power."

Despite her and Warren being rarely seen together, the estranged couple reunited to celebrate their son's seventh birthday last week at Universal Studios.

Jessica Alba Said She And Cash Warren Were Like 'Roommates'

It appears that Alba and Warren had long lost their love for each other, as an old clip of her saying that they were more like "roommates" years before the news of their split was confirmed resurfaced.

The actress made the remarks about her marriage in a July 2021 appearance on Katherine Schwarzenegger's Instagram show, "Before, During and After Baby."

"It's all rosy for two and a half years. But then after that, you become roommates," Alba shared, per Page Six. "You're just going through the motions. You have the responsibilities. It's a lot of, like, checking the boxes, right?"

Elsewhere in the conversation, the "Dark Angel" alum admitted that she often took their partnership for granted.

"We have, like, obviously the friendship, the comfort of, like, 'you're not going anywhere,' and so sometimes you don't treat those people the best, right?" Alba said. "You don't consider their feelings in the way that you would consider other people's feelings, So that is something that I think is a constant one to work on."
