Childhood and adolescence
A boy was born in the cold winter, on January 10, 1979, in one of the largest metropolises in the United States - Los Angeles.
His dad is the popular Hollywood artist Michael Warren, so it is not at all surprising that his son is also directly related to cinema and has been interested in it since childhood.
Cash Warren spent the first years of his life under the careful supervision of his mother, and then went to an ordinary school located in the town of Santa Monica, a suburb of Los Angeles. Why so far? Loving parents did not want publicity for their son; they preferred to live in silence and away from annoying journalists.
We can say with confidence that it was this act that affected the character of young Cash, which is why he still carefully protects his family and tries not to appear on the pages of magazines and newspapers. The popular film producer has never had star fever, and this is his distinctive character trait.
During his school years, the boy was fond of sports and loved to play basketball. Cash Warren even put together a strong team and took part in various tournaments and competitions. Then the young man met his best friend, basketball player Baron Davis, now a famous NBA player, they still communicate.
The talented guy Cash enters an educational institution, and in 2000 he brilliantly completes his studies at one of the universities, namely Yale University.
Family life
Our hero met his future wife Jessica Alba (at that time already a fairly famous actress) at the age of 25. Although she was already a famous person, and Warren was not a big star, he immediately knew that Jessica was his person. They dated for about two years, and they managed to do this secretly from the ubiquitous journalists. The couple told the public about their engagement only at the end of 2006.
Today they are one of the happiest and most stable married couples in Hollywood. They already have two charming daughters, whom their parents love with all their hearts. As far as we know, the couple is raising their children on their own, practically without involving nannies in the educational process.
Alba and Warren, even after many years of marriage, love each other and believe that they were created to be together. Believe me, this is a rare happiness!

Tomorrow she will again become the subject of discussion/gossip/gossip/rumors/admiration on this side of the ocean, because her Russian fans will have the opportunity to appreciate all her talents and once again admire her beauty, because another film with her participation will start in Russian cinemas - Machete Kills

Jessica Maria's family
She moved often due to the fact that her father was a military man and served in the Air Force. Jessica was born in California, but before finally settling there, she and her younger brother Joshua had the opportunity to travel quite a bit around the country with their parents - living in Texas, Mississippi, Del Rio and God knows where else.
Frequent changes of place of residence had a very sad effect on the health of the future actress - as a child, she more often spent time in hospitals with various and sometimes very serious diagnoses than at school. But the situation was also aggravated by the fact that there were no friends around her who could support her and encourage her - simply because Jessica rarely stayed in one place for long and, due to illness, almost never appeared in class. Where can true friends come from?
But when the family settled in California, things began to improve. At that time she was only 9.
The girl decided everything about her acting future when she was five years old. And already at 12 she began to take more serious steps - she began taking acting lessons. Just nine months later she had her own agent.
Her film debut took place in 1994 thanks to the youth film Lost Camp
(1994). This was followed by filming in advertising and independent films. But it was already clear that the girl was not going to do anything else in her life - she was determined.
Gradually, from just a charming girl, Jessica, in whose veins a mixture of Mexican-French-Canadian-Danish blood flows, turned into a spectacular, charming girl who can turn anyone’s head. And in 2000, her partner in the series Dark Angel, Michael Weatherly, could not resist her beauty.
On her 20th birthday, Michael proposed to Jessica, which intensified the already loud gossip due to their significant age difference (12 years). But things never came to a wedding - after three years of a serious relationship, the couple broke up.
Jessica threw herself into her work and managed to appear in three big projects, and a year later, on the set of Tim Story’s next blockbuster, she met Him...
He…
Cash Garner
was born in the heart of the acting Mecca - in Los Angeles in 1979 in the family of actor Michael Warren.
At school, his classmates were then the future actress Kate Hudson
and
Baron Davis
, again a future NBA star. And after receiving a high school diploma, Cash entered Yale University and successfully graduated.
He always found himself somewhere “not far from the cinema” - due to related interests and his own. But his personal passions more often turned out to be in the field of documentary cinema (it was there that he found himself as an assistant director and as a producer). And yet, it was feature cinema that gave him a meeting with Fate - with Her...
They…
In 2004, 20th Century Fox
still decided to film the comic book about the Fantastic Four superheroes, the rights to which were purchased 10 years ago (and the film was even put into production, but... was never filmed - the producers at that time were not going to make this picture, and all this The performance and filming were organized with only one purpose - to obtain the rights to film adaptation in the future).
Many famous actresses, including Kate Bosworth
and
Rachel McAdams
, but it was Jessica who managed to sign the contract.
And the position of assistant director of the film was given to... Cash.
The young people did not particularly advertise their relationship. In addition, the public was skeptical about this novel - after all, Jessica by that time was already a very popular actress, a real celebrity, and even the ubiquitous journalists knew practically nothing about Cash.
Readers of glossy magazines considered their relationship to be sluggish and unpromising, even despite their public engagement in December 2006. Therefore, the news of the wedding (and after the fact!) became a real sensation... And provided a wave of new discussions on the topic of the fragility of such an “unequal marriage.”
And yet, on May 19, 2008, Jessica and Cash, secretly from everyone (even from their closest friends!) were legally married in a private ceremony at the courthouse in Beverly Hills. According to eyewitnesses, the newlyweds were no different from ordinary visitors - Jessica was wearing a simple blue dress and her hair was tied in a high ponytail; Cash appeared in a white shirt and brown trousers. The whole ceremony took 40 minutes.
Looking at Jessica Alba, one involuntarily comes to mind: an athlete, a Komsomol member and simply a beauty. At 33 years old, the girl is one of the most popular actresses of our time, owns a share in the Honest Company, specializing in the sale of non-toxic household products, and has the title of the sexiest woman on the planet. There is also complete harmony in the actress’s personal life: for 7 years now she has been happily married to film producer Cash Warren, raising two charming girls with him – Honor Marie and Haven Garner. It’s hard to believe, but all this might not have happened if Jessica hadn’t made one important decision at the age of 20...
Actor
It all started gradually, the well-known producer today began as an assistant in various positions in the film industry. Thus, while working as an assistant director on the set of the acclaimed action film Fantastic Four, he met his future wife, the charming Jessica Alba, who plays the main role. The meeting took place in 2004.
Afterwards, Warren starred in two little-known feature films. For the first time in 1995, Cash had a role in the series called “Red Carpet”, and he also took part in the Oprah Winfrey Show.
Breasts on display
In June 2005, a small and not very pleasant embarrassment for Jessica occurred. She came to the MTV awards ceremony. But the actress didn’t foresee that when cameras flashed, the fabric could show through
. This episode upset Jess very much, and the photos, of course, spread all over the world within a few hours.
In the fall, the actress received one of the central roles in the film “Welcome to Paradise.” The audience really liked their favorite in a swimsuit, but Alba did not share their enthusiasm. According to her, she would much rather star in some low-budget film, demonstrating her acting talent rather than her body.
At the beginning of 2006, Jess's photo, unexpectedly even for her, ended up on the cover of Playboy.
- despite the fact that she never collaborated with this magazine. It turned out that they simply used her photo from the promo for the above-mentioned film. Alba threatened to file a lawsuit, after which the owner of the magazine publicly apologized to Jess for the unpleasant incident and, at the request of the actress, transfers a large amount of money to funds to help children.
In 2007, the sequel to “Fantastic Four” with Jessica was released. The actress's personality literally drew men to the cinemas - and in the first weekend the film managed to collect almost 60 million box office receipts.
Among Alba’s iconic films in recent years are Robert Rodriguez’s “Valentine’s Day” (Jess starred in this film with Ashton Kutcher), and the psychological thriller “The Killer Inside Me.” And now screenings of “Sin City 2” have begun in cinemas. Viewer feedback is very positive.
But, nevertheless, for the last 6 years, Jessica has devoted much more time to her family rather than to cinema. It's time to move on to the story about her personal life.
Producer
In this area, several striking works by Cash can be distinguished. Let's get acquainted with the bright filmography of a talented person.
In 2006, the film Rising Son: The Legend of Scateboarder Christian Hosoi appeared. And in 2008, viewers have the opportunity to watch the movie “Made in America,” which is a huge success. Then comes the series “Independent Lens” and “30 Events in 30 Years.” Their filming took place from 1999 to 2015.
In 2013, the film “Bloody Revenge” appeared on the screens. This is an excellent exciting action movie where the main character tries to rescue her husband from the clutches of local mafiosi.
As you can see, Cash Warren is an American film producer who has been actively filming in recent years; he is trying to please the viewer with magnificent films.
Favorite Cash Warren
In December 2007, the world learned that Jessica was from Cash Warren. The wedding of the lovers took place in May in Beverly Hills in complete secrecy. Not a single guest was invited to the celebration. In response to misunderstanding on the part of society, wondering how Alba married an ordinary assistant director, sometimes even running for coffee or pizza for the film crew, and not some A-list star, Jessica replied:
“I met a man, it seems to me that I have known him all my life, and I think that we will spend the rest of our days together! We want to build a sincere, loving, wonderful family. I'm very traditional in this matter."
At the age of 27, the actress gave birth to her lover’s first daughter, who was christened Honor Marie.
Jess was completely immersed in the joy of motherhood. By the way, for the sake of such an occasion, the happy mother abandoned her principle of privacy and starred with her newborn daughter in a photo shoot for OK magazine. By the way, its owners paid the actress 1.5 million for the right to be the first to publish pictures of Alba and her baby.
If you look at the relationship of this couple from the outside, when they constantly hug and kiss, it may seem that they are at the initial stage of the relationship. But no - they just really love each other so much, and their relationship is full of romance! Here's what the actress says about this:
“Cash and I always know that the time when the girls fall asleep completely belongs to the two of us,” Jessica shared her secret of family happiness. “We can even do nothing, just sit next to each other.” We turn off our cell phones and don't check our email. It's taboo when we're together."
In 2011, Alba gave her husband another daughter, she was named Heaven.
Love story
A beautiful woman, a talented actress, Jessica Alba, on the eve of meeting her future husband, experienced a painful breakup with her ex-husband and did not think that on the set of “Fantastic Four” she would be able to meet not just love, but a soul mate.
At the age of 19, Jessica married for the first time to a little-known actor at that time, Michael Weather. They met on the set of the series “Dark Angel”. Then the aspiring actress was not so famous. In 2003, the family broke up, and Alba decided to build her career in the film industry.
And so, on the set of the film, she meets a modest, shy young man who works as an assistant director. This was Cash Warren. Fantastic Four marked the beginning of a beautiful love relationship between Warren and Alba.
Religion
Since childhood, Alba regularly went to church. Everything changed when she began to grow up - men began to show interest in her and she was shamed for this in the temple. Alba was terribly embarrassed about her body and afraid of sexuality. Because of this, she lost faith in the church, but did not lose faith in God.

But two years later, everyone learned that Jessica and Cash’s wedding had taken place. Moreover, the journalists were already presented with a fact, which they were incredibly surprised by.

These days
Everything turned out just as Warren and Alba dreamed. The couple is very happy, their marriage is strong. The family has two charming daughters, whom their parents dote on.
As it has become reliably known, the couple tries not to use the services of a nanny, only in rare cases. They raise their daughters on their own, take them to classes, teach them to read and write, and check their lessons.
According to Cash Warren, the secret of their happy relationship is that young people always try to do everything together, spend a lot of time with children, try not to make their relationship public, avoid the ubiquitous journalists - they live simply and modestly, although they have the opportunity to afford a lot .
We wish the film producer creative success, more interesting films and prosperity in his family life. After all, it is a rare happiness to be in harmony with yourself and the outside world.
Relationship with Michael Weatherly
A real breakthrough for young Alba was the main role in the television series “Dark Angel”. And along with the first success came the first serious relationship with colleague Michael Weatherly. The lovers were not embarrassed by the 12-year age difference and for three years the couple was inseparable. And on Jessica’s 20th birthday, Michael proposed marriage to the girl, to which she replied “Yes!”
Curious: Does Wentworth Miller have a wife?
However, a few months later, in August 2003, the couple announced their separation. A couple of years later, Jessica admitted that she had no idea why she got engaged to Weatherly, because the actress’s parents were not at all happy about the big difference in the couple’s ages and breathed a sigh of relief when they learned about their breakup. At the same time, Jessica has repeatedly stated that she is attracted to older and wiser men than her peers.
Personal agent at 12 years old
As a child, Alba was often sick and managed to suffer from pneumonia, asthma, collapse of the lungs (2 times!), a cyst on the tonsils and inflammation of the appendix, which was safely removed. In all other respects, she was no different from her peers - except for her clearly expressed love for the acting profession.
At the age of 11, after several days of persuasion, the girl managed to convince her mother to send her to a competition for young actors held in Beverly Hills. It turned out that it was not in vain. The little girl took the main prize, which was free acting lessons. And already at the age of 12, Jess acquired her own agent.
Soon she leaves for the filming of a family comedy called “Camp Nowhere.” Initially, Jessica was hired for just a couple of weeks to play a low-profile role, but the filming ended up lasting for a couple of months. The fact is that one of the main actresses dropped out, and Alba looked like her - in build and hairstyle.
It seemed that fate smiled on Alba when she was invited to play a role in the drama “Leaving Las Vegas,” which later became an Oscar-winner. Unfortunately, the footage of the young beauty did not make it into the final version of the film.
. The young actress gets upset and leaves for Australia. There she gets a role in the remake of the television series “Flipper”. Jessica enjoys the filming process and has a wonderful time swimming in the open ocean with dolphins and diving.
From 15 to 18 years old, Jess starred in the film “Punks”, the drama “South Brooklyn”, and even appeared in the series “Beverly Hills” for several episodes.
