Jessica Alba Shares Message About Being ‘Soft’ After Cash Warren Split

Jessica Alba is sharing a glimpse into her mindset as she moves forward with her separation from Cash Warren.

In a social media post, Alba, 43, shared a message from Stråla Yoga founder Tara Stiles about the power of healing.

“Soft is the new strong,” the quote read via Alba’s Instagram Story on Thursday, January 30. “Soft has been waiting all along.”

The Honest Company cofounder also included a snippet of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young’s hit song “Our House” to play in the background of the post. The 1970 track is a love song believed to be about the carefree early stages of a relationship.

In recent weeks, Alba has shared several cryptic quotes via her Instagram Story as she adjusts to a new chapter of her life.

Earlier this month, the Fantastic Four actress reposted a message from writer Yung Pueblo that read: “How do you build a good life? Relentlessly follow your intuition. Build with people who also love to grow. Take responsibility for your healing. Love yourself so deeply that you feel at home in your own body and mind. Teach yourself to forgive. Never stop being a kind person.”

On January 8, news broke that Alba and Warren, 36, had recently separated and were preparing to file for divorce after 16 years of marriage.

One week later, Alba herself addressed her decision to separate from the Pair of Thieves cofounder.

“I’ve been on a journey of self-realization and transformation for years — both as an individual and in partnership with Cash,” Alba wrote via Instagram on January 16. “I’m proud of how we’ve grown in our marriage over the last 20 years and it’s now time for us to embark on a new chapter of growth and evolution as individuals.”

Alba — who shares Honor, 16, Haven, 13, and Hayes, 6, with Warren — assured fans that both parents are “moving forward with love, kindness and respect for each other and will forever be family.”

While Warren has not publicly commented on the split, a source previously told Us that he’s “been slowly moving things out of their house.” The recent Los Angeles fires, however, gave the couple the chance to spend “more time under one roof as a family.”

“They are good parents and partners in business together but lost their spark and grew apart,” a source told Us. “Jessica and Cash made the decision together that this was no longer working or healthy for anyone.”
