Newly single Jessica Alba seen kissing mystery man during incognito London outing

Jessica Alba seems to be have moved on from Cash Warren. The Honest Company co-founder — who split from her husband five months ago — kept a low profile while spending time with a mystery man at Regents Park in London over the weekend. As seen in pics first obtained by The Sun, Alba attempted to go incognito in a black jacket and matching ball cap for the outing Sunday. At one point, she affectionately grabbed the man's hand from behind to draw him in among the rose bushes. Her unknown date was also dressed in casual attire, consisting of a hoodie and white cap, for the low-key outdoor adventure. An onlooker told the Sun that the 'Fantastic Four' actress and her companion appeared to be 'very intimate.' 'They were hugging and holding hands as they walked through the park together,' the insider claimed. 'They rented out some deck chairs and they were sitting on them kissing.' The source added, 'It looked very much like a new relationship.' Reps for Alba did not immediately return Page Six's request for comment. Alba, 44, and Warren, 46, separated in January after nearly 17 years of marriage, with the 'Honey' star confirming the split in an emotional public statement just days later. 'I've been on a journey of self realization and transformation for years – both as an individual and in partnership with Cash,' she wrote via Instagram on Jan. 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.' 'We are moving forward with love, kindness and respect for each other and will forever be a family,' she continued. 'Our children remain our highest priority and we request privacy at this time.' Alba, who shares kids Honor, 16, Haven, 13, and Hayes, 7, with Warren, filed for divorce the following month. The 'Dark Angel' star cited 'irreconcilable differences' as the cause of the split. The actress took to Instagram on Feb. 26 to share a photo of a new inner arm tattoo reading 'life is transformation is life' in cursive. After enjoying a tropical vacation with her kids in April, Alba reunited with her ex for a family Easter celebration. In a social media post, she smiled as she posed for a pic alongside all three kids and Warren. Alba and her estranged husband met on the set of 'Fantastic Four' in 2004, where the latter was working as a director's assistant. They married in a private ceremony in Beverly hills in May 2008, just before welcoming their first child that June.

How Jessica Alba honored estranged husband Cash Warren on first Father's Day since divorce

Jessica Alba still has a lot of respect for Cash Warren amid their divorce. The actress penned a sweet tribute to her estranged husband for Father's Day over the weekend, sharing all of his best attributes as a dad to their three kids — Honor, 17, Haven, 13, and Hayes, 7. 'Happy Father's Day, @Cash_Warren,' Alba wrote over a throwback picture of Warren holding Hayes as a baby while Honor looked at him adoringly and Haven flashed a smile. 'Our babies couldn't have a better dad — warm, kind, present, always knowing what to say,' she added. 'I admire your patience and the way you hold space for them, making them feel safe and light after every conversation. Thank you for being their rock.' Further showing she and Warren are having an amicable split, Alba also shared a tribute to Warren's father, Michael Warren. 'From the moment you came into my life, your love and support have always been so genuine,' she wrote in part to her estranged father-in-law.

Both listed their date of separation as Dec. 27, 2024, and cited 'irreconcilable differences' as the cause. They requested joint physical and legal custody of their three children. The Honest co-founder is now reportedly playing the field when it comes to dating again. She was spotted kissing an unidentified man at Regents Park in London last month. '[Jessica has] gone on dates, but she isn't seeing anyone specific right now,' a source told Us Weekly. 'She's embracing all the attention she's getting,' the source added. Despite her dating again, Alba and Warren have been keeping it friendly amid their split. They reunited to spend Easter together with their kids in April. When the 'Honey' star confirmed their split in January ahead of officially filing for divorce, she said she was 'on a journey of self realization and transformation' alongside Warren. '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,' she shared in an Instagram post.
