“I’ve been on a journey of self realisation and transformation for years – both as an individual and in partnership with Cash,” she wrote in a statement to her followers on Instagram.
“I’m proud of how we’ve grown as a couple and 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 and kindness and respect for each other and will forever be family. Our children remain our highest priority and we request privacy at this time.”
The actress captioned her post with a heart.
Warren has remained silent in the wake of the news.
Alba and Warren first met on the set of Fantastic Four back in 2004 where Alba starred as Sue Storm (otherwise known as the Invisible Woman) and Warren was working as a director’s assistant.
