‘I was a virgin, he was 12 years older’: Jessica Alba’s revelations about her engagement to Michael Weatherly during Dark Angel

If Jessica Alba has been married to Cash Warren for almost twenty years, she had a first love affair with Michael Weatherly, her former playmate in the series Dark Angel. The two exes were even engaged. The actress has made surprising revelations about this relationship.

If the stars can feel resistant to the idea of ​​confiding in their private life, they sometimes indulge in some intimate revelations. This was for example the case of Jessica Alba. Some of you may have forgotten, but before becoming Cash Warren’s wife and mother of three, the actress had an important relationship with Michael Weatherly, her acting partner in Dark Angel. The two actors met on the set of the series in 2000 and quickly fell in love off-camera. A love story that shocked fans at the time because Jessica Alba was 18 and Michael Weatherly 30 years. However, their romance lasted four years and the actor even asked the young woman to marry on her twentieth birthday. In 2005, the actress confided in Cosmopolitan about this relationship and made a very intimate revelation.

Jessica Alba says she lost her virginity to Michael Weatherly

“Relationships can be difficult. I only had two boyfriends (Michael Weatherly and her current husband Cash Warren, editor’s note). The first time, with Michael, I didn’t have my own voice yet, and he was so much older… It just didn’t work out. I was so young, I was 18 when I started dating him. I was a virgin“, unveiled Jessica Alba. Coming from a long-time Christian family, the actress’ parents taught her that sex before marriage was not an option. But when the actor NCIS et Bull asked for her in engagement, the actress decided to break her vow of virginity. “I knew I wanted to be in love with the first person I slept with, because for almost everyone I knew, the first experience made them feel like crap…. I wanted to be sure that he would be in love with me and that he would not leave me“, continued to explain the actress.

If this romantic relationship did not last as she would have wished at that time, Jessica Alba later admitted that she had no idea why she said yes to his marriage proposal. “I don’t know why I got engaged. I was a virgin. He was 12 years older than me. I thought he knew better than me. My parents were not happy. They are very religious“, confided the actress. Nevertheless, Jessica Alba did not wait long before falling on the man of her life since it is a year after her separation from Michael Weatherly – and after brief liaisons with Derek Jeter and Mark Wahlberg -, that she met Cash Warren on the set of Fantastic Four in 2004.
