Jessica Alba is taking time to unplug and connect with her roots amid her divorce from Cash Warren.

 

The 43-year-old actress, who has Mexican ancestry on her father's side, posted content to her Instagram account on Wednesday, March 26, documenting a trip with her loved ones to Mexico City. 

 

“Forever memories made - feeling connected, satiated and nourished ???????? #CDMX might just be my new home away from home,” she captioned a carousel. 

Alba started the photo roundup with a picture of herself standing solo in front of the San Juan Teotihuacán, which roughly translates to "place of the gods."

 

Photographer Carlos Eric Lopez, actress Angelique Cabral and entrepreneur Elsa Collins accompanied the Trigger Warning star on the trip, making cameos in photos and videos on her page and Instagram Stories along the way.

One slide in Alba’s post referred to being “the woman your ancestors prayed for.”

 

“They dreamed of you,” it continued. “A woman free enough to speak her truth, soft enough to feel her heart, and powerful enough to break every curse they couldn’t.”

The photo that followed was a group shot of them meditating in front of the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon.

 

Alba also made sure to show off ancient drawings inside the historic landmark, plus shots of the local cuisine mixed in with smiling images of her travel buddies.

“I miss this trip already ???????? ❤️‍????,” Cabral, 46, wrote in the comments.

 

Before the recap was over, Alba added some pics of herself partaking in a bit of pampering by relaxing in an infrared sauna with beauty eye masks resting above her cheeks. 

 

The Fantastic Four star ended her post with a nod to healing. 

“Healing wounds as child” was written over a Band-Aid, while a split in the screen read, “healing wounds as a grownup” was written over “Trip to Mexico.”

 

On Feb. 7, Alba filed for divorce from Warren, 46, after 16 years of marriage. 

 

"I've been on a journey of self realization and transformation for years - both as an individual and in partnership with Cash," she wrote in a statement.

"I'm proud of how we've grown as a couple and in our marriage over the last 20 years and it's now time for us to embark on a new chapter of growth and evolution as individuals,” the post added. 

 

Alba added that their three children – Honor, 16, Haven, 13, and Hayes, 7 – will continue to be their “highest priority.”
