Hollywood actress Jessica Alba is praising her son for his “bravery” amid “new changes” following her ongoing divorce from Cash Warren.
The 44-year-old actress separated from the 46-year-old film producer in December 2024 and filed for divorce in February 2025, citing “irreconcilable differences.” On New Year’s Day, she shared a heartfelt tribute on Instagram to celebrate their son Hayes’ eighth birthday.
Celebrating Hayes
Jessica, who is also a mother to daughters Honor, 17, and Haven, 14, with Cash, created a video-and-photo slideshow showcasing Hayes over the years. She wrote in her post, “My Hayesie, My sweet, bright, fun, hilarious Hayes. Wow, 8 years ago, early in the morning on NYE, you arrived. Time has flown by, yet it has paused on so many beautiful moments with you. Watching you grow into the coolest lil dude ever has been one of the greatest experiences of my life (sic).”
The montage highlights joyful moments, including:
- Hayes as a baby
- Fun times with his sisters
- His first haircut
- Engaging in various sports and hobbies
Notable activities featured in the montage include taking swings on a golf course, attending a Los Angeles Lakers game in the team’s distinctive yellow and purple jersey, kicking a football, and showing off his piano skills.
Proud of His Achievements
Jessica, who is currently dating 33-year-old actor Danny Ramirez, expressed pride in her and Cash’s youngest child’s accomplishments. She remarked, “Your skills on the tennis court, golf course, soccer field, and handball court, which you improvise on every wall or back of a couch, indoors or out, are impressive to say the least. You take pride in being kind and doing well, which makes my heart swell. I love your quick wit with your sisters, your competitive nature, kicking my butt in UNO on the regular, and your desire to always play and have fun (sic).”
The actress treasures their bonding moments during sleepovers and nighttime snuggles, along with the insightful “questions about life” that Hayes often asks.
