Jessica Alba celebrates 16 years with husband Cash Warren, expressing pride in their long-lasting relationship and looking forward to the future: ‘And beyond’

With 16 years behind them, Jessica Alba is ready to grow old with husband Cash Warren.

The Golden Globe nominee, 43, celebrated her 16th wedding anniversary with Warren, 45, on Sunday, sharing throwback photos of them and their family.  

’16 years of marriage, 20 years together and forever to go… Happy Anniversary @cash_warren,’ she wrote in the caption.

‘I’m proud of us for making it this far,’ added Alba. ‘There is no real set of rules or guidance that can ever prepare you for what it means to commit to another person and choose to be family.’

She continued, ‘Through thick and thin we have continually found our way back to each other and have chosen one another. Cheers to us, I love you.’

Alba met her future husband on the set of her 2005 movie Fantastic Four, on which Warren served as director’s assistant.

The couple shares daughters Honor Marie, 15, Haven Garner, 12, and 6-year-old son Hayes Alba.

Alba opened up about the secret to their lasting marriage last year. ‘I think sometimes it’s over communication, sometimes it’s under communication,’ she told ET in August.

‘Sometimes it’s, “I need my space I’ll talk to you [later],”‘ Alba explained. ‘When I need [you, I’ll say], “I miss you, will you come back?” [It’s about] always communicating how you feel.’ 

Warren previously touched on the subject as he appeared on Jana Kramer’s Whine Down podcast.

‘When we’re going through those times, we either give each other our space that we need, we talk it out, we maybe go on a date night,’ he said.

‘You try to do things to get it back,’ added Warren. ‘And fortunately, I’ve got a partner who’s kind of right there, lock and step.’ 

And although he considers himself Alba’s ‘biggest cheerleader’ now, Warren revealed that they briefly split early in their relationship.

‘When we first started dating, I was really jealous of other guys and the attention that she was getting from other guys,’ he recalled. ‘It just wasn’t making me feel good.

‘I was always a pretty confident person, walking my own path and really happy there. Next thing you know I’m looking up and just feeling jealous all the time. 

‘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,”‘ added Warren.

Warren explained that the jealousy turned him ‘into an a**hole’ and forced him to ‘channel that in a different way, into a more productive way’ after they broke up.
