Jessica Alba's Husband Cash Warren Talks About When They Almost Broke Up, Explains How Jealousy Affected Their Relationship

Jessica Alba and Cash Warren have had to work through relationship troubles during their nearly two decades as a couple.

In a new interview, Cash revealed that he and Jessica almost ended their relationship and it was all due to jealousy.

“When we first started dating I was really jealous of other guys and the attention she was getting from other guys. It just wasn’t making me feel good,” Cash said on iHeartPodcast’s Whine Down with Jana Kramer podcast. “I was always a pretty confident person in my own [life], walking my own path and really happy there, and next thing you know I’m looking up and feeling jealous all the time.”

Cash continued, “I was like, ‘I hate feeling like this. It doesn’t make me feel good, and I know it doesn’t make you feel good.’ And we broke up four years into our relationship. We broke up. It was the jealousy. I was turning into an a——, and so we broke up.”

While they were separated, Cash figured out a different way to channel his energy from the jealous feelings.

“If anything, when we got together I was like, ‘Don’t make sacrifices. Pursue your passions, pursue your careers, don’t make sacrifices because you feel bad for leaving the kids for this week or that week.’ Eventually they’ll grow up and they’ll forget the fact that you were gone for these three days or these five days,” Cash said. “I’ve tried to be a good teammate in that regard. I’m not interested in the spotlight. I’m not a star, I’m not a celeb, I’m not an actor, I’ve never tried to be an actor. I high-five her, let her do her thing, and I’ve gotten more comfortable with it over the years.”

Cash and Jessica have been together since 2004 and they got married in 2008 when she was pregnant with their first child. The couple shares 15-year-old daughter Honor, 12-year-old daughter Haven, and five-year-old son Hayes.

Jessica just gave an interview in which she revealed what makes her marriage work.
