Married for 15 years and together for nearly 20, Jessica Alba and Cash Warren, at this point, are basically a Hollywood anomaly.

The two first met on the set of the superhero flick Fantastic Four in 2004, and it was then that Alba knew Warren was the one. "I just knew when I met him that I was going to know him forever. It was weird; He instantly felt like family," she previously told InStyle about the couple's unbelievable connection in 2013. "I'd never felt like that with anyone. We got each other. We're kindred spirits."

In 2008, they got married and welcomed their first child, a daughter named Honor, before they grew their family by two more, a daughter named Haven and a son named Hayes. Despite having three kids and separate careers, Jessica and Cash's bond has continued to grow over the years. Take a look back at their love story below.

He added that they had to "own it" and couldn't pretend nothing happened, so he went to go talk to his young daughter. "I went downstairs and said, 'Haven, I bet that's the last time you walk into our room without knocking,'" he laughed. "Now she knocks. It was like she learned her lesson."

"When we first started dating, I was really jealous of other guys and the attention she was getting from other guys. It just wasn’t making me feel good," he said. "I was always a pretty confident person in my own [life], walking my own path and really happy there, and next thing you know, I’m looking up and feeling jealous all the time."

He continued, "I was like, ‘I hate feeling like this. It doesn’t make me feel good, and I know it doesn’t make you feel good.’ And we broke up four years into our relationship. We broke up. It was the jealousy. I was turning into an asshole, and so we broke up."

The two ended up finding their way back to each other — and the rest, as they say, is history.
