Wedding and engagement rings are symbolic indicators of a celebrity’s relationship status. When a star is seen without their wedding ring, it doesn’t take long for speculation to spread like wildfire and headlines to follow.
Jessica Alba has a history of being seen without her wedding ring, but that didn't stop the spread of rumors about potential trouble in her marriage to Cash Warren. Although the couple celebrated Christmas together last week, Alba has been seen without her wedding ring multiple times over the past few weeks.
The couple, who have been married for 16 years and share three children—Honor, 16, Haven, 13, and Hayes, 6—were last seen together during a family getaway to Mexico. During the vacation, Alba was photographed without her ring, but considering Warren was by her side, there could be another reason she isn't wearing her ring other than a breakup.
But on Sunday, the 43-year-old actress was photographed picking up food from Kreation in Los Angeles, again without her ring, fueling rumors.
The ringless debacle seems to go back to early December when Alba was seen dining in Rome, Italy, with Andrea Iervolino, an Italian producer working with her on her new film, Maserati: The Brother in Italy.
The two were spotted leaving the restaurant together in Iervolino’s white Audi. While work dinners are often innocent, combined with her missing ring, it stirred up rumors.
Another clue?
In addition, fans have noticed another intriguing detail. On December 31, Alba shared a reflective Instagram post featuring a collection of photos from the past year. While the images showcased her children, "sisterhood" and various moments from 2024, Warren was noticeably absent from the roundup.
As one of Hollywood’s enduring couples, Alba and Warren have often kept their personal lives private. While the absence of a wedding ring may not necessarily signal trouble, it'll be interesting to see if they shut down the rumors.
