As Jessica Alba and Cash Warren proceed with their divorce, which the actress confirmed Jan. 16, there are various assets that will need to be divvied up.
[...]
Attorney Marilyn Chinitz, a matrimonial partner at Blank Rome LLP who isn't connected to the case, tells PEOPLE, "Hopefully [Alba and Warren] maintain a harmony, a sense of balance and continuity that will take place during a divorce as well, especially because they're in business together."
In 2012, Alba founded Honest Company, and while she stepped down from her role as chief creative officer in April 2024, she remains on the organization's board of directors. Warren is a film producer and the co-founder of Pair of Thieves, a sock and underwear company. Like Alba, he too retains ties to Honest Company.
"He's also involved in the business. Because they're not in war with one another — and they've made that clear — they may not be in love with one another, but they seem to be able to interact with respect. That's what they're going to do most likely in their business until one may want to be bought out by the other," says Chinitz.
"As long as the business is successful and the sales continue to do well, then why not continue to have ownership? Because who does it benefit? It benefits the three children."
Chinitz also addresses the question of how a prenuptial agreement, if there is one, may factor into the split.
"It's really interesting because not every couple does a prenup. And yes, [Alba] was successful before she got married. She was a well-known entity. One would expect that they would have a prenup, but even if they did I don't know that it would make that big of a difference if they both own a company. It's a community asset."
