Jessica Alba’s ex Cash Warren is reflecting on his year and sharing some lessons he’s learned along the way.
The film producer, 46, shared an Instagram post on Wednesday, Dec. 31, noting that despite the year starting out as something he “wanted to forget” — likely referring to Alba, 44, announcing their split in January — he was “thankful” for how it evolved.
“You started out as the year I wanted to forget but so damn thankful you grew into the year I’ll always remember,” he wrote alongside a collage of photos and videos featuring his kids and other memorable moments from his year.
“A few lessons I learned over last 365 days,” he continued. “Acceptance is suffering’s antidote. Our minds are the OG algorithm. Negative thoughts will play on repeat if you allow them to[.] The line between enlightenment and narcissism is razor thin. Don’t be fooled by those who don’t know the difference.”

However, the bulk of his caption was dedicated to his three kids. He noted that Honor’s “ability to stay focused” on her goals no matter what life threw her way this year “was inspiring” and he thanked her for “continuing to blaze the trail for your sister and little bro,” He then revealed, “You’re going to freaking YALE!!!”
For his middle child, Haven, he wrote, “thanks for holding me accountable and for communicating so openly when things weren’t sitting right with you,” adding that her “transparency is everything!” He also noted that she taught him “about the fine art of being nonchalant.”
As for his youngest son, he noted that the 8-year-old taught him “about living life with no regrets.” He also recalled a moment when his son told him, “Dad, you know how many people in the world made a mistake at the exact same time as me? It’s not a big deal,” as he wished him a happy eighth birthday.
“From my day 1s to my new-news … I am so grateful 🥂❤️ 🥳. Thanks for extending your hands to help me get back on my feet. Happy New Year!!,” he completed his caption.
