Jessica Alba put on a brave face as she stepped out for her daughter’s eighth-grade graduation on Friday, but her expression suggested the emotional toll of recent life changes may be weighing heavily.

The 44-year-old “Valentine’s Day” star attended the Los Angeles ceremony to celebrate 13-year-old Haven’s middle school milestone.

Though the event was celebratory, Jessica Alba was spotted looking visibly distraught while talking to a friend.

The actress and entrepreneur, who recently filed for divorce from longtime husband Cash Warren, appeared somber and deep in conversation with a friend during the Los Angeles ceremony. Dressed casually yet stylishly in a cream-toned cropped jacket and jeans, Alba kept things chic and understated, accessorizing with hoop earrings, layered necklaces, and soft, natural makeup.

Her estranged husband was also seen nearby her, who appeared more relaxed in tan chinos and a blue-and-white golf shirt. Their two other children, Honor, 16, and Hayes, 7, were also in attendance.

The photos of Alba and Warren were first obtained by the Daily Mail.

The graduation reunion comes months after Alba filed for divorce in February, following their joint announcement of separation in January. In a heartfelt message, Alba described their split as the beginning of “a new chapter of growth and evolution as individuals,” while acknowledging their 20-year relationship and the shared journey they had been on.

“I’m proud of how we’ve grown as a couple and in our marriage over the last 20 years,” she wrote on Instagram at the time.

Despite the separation, the couple is reportedly committed to co-parenting harmoniously.

“We are moving forward with love and kindness and respect for each other and will forever be family,” Alba shared in her divorce announcement. “Our children remain our highest priority and we request privacy at this time.”

Additionally, a source told Life & Style that Alba and Warren are prioritizing normalcy for their children and are even open to joint family vacations.

“They want the kids to feel like they still have a family unit,” the insider shared, noting Alba’s intent to preserve traditions like spending holidays together. “Hayes is only 7. He still wants both parents around when he’s hunting for Easter eggs.”

The public reunion between Alba and Warren at their daughter Haven’s graduation comes on the heels of Warren being spotted house-hunting solo, a clear sign that both stars are moving forward with their post-divorce lives.

Warren was photographed earlier this week leaving an open house for a sleek six-bedroom property in Sherman Oaks, California. The modern residence, currently listed for $6.5 million, features high-end amenities fit for a fresh start, and perhaps a new chapter as a bachelor.

Warren’s house hunting comes just weeks after Alba listed the former couple’s lavish Beverly Hills mansion for a staggering $19 million.

Professionally, Alba is moving full steam ahead.

After stepping down from The Honest Company in 2024, she launched her own production company, Lady Spitfire.

“Reimagining and redefining how women and minorities show up in the world through great stories is my passion,” she told Deadline at the time. “I believe that my children and the next generation shouldn’t have to face the same barriers as I have. Inspired by the heroes whose shoulders I humbly stand on, I feel it is my duty to make it easier for dreams to be realized and potential to be met for women and minorities, particularly those in my community.”

“I feel it is my duty to make it easier for dreams to be realized and potential to be met for women and minorities, particularly those in my community,” she continued. “This is just the beginning… I cannot wait to see what we get to create and build. The best is yet to come.”

Among her upcoming projects is “Confessions on the 7:45,” a new series directed by Eva Longoria, signaling that Alba’s next chapter, both personally and professionally, is just beginning.
