Jessica Alba Wants ‘To Speed Up Her Recovery’ As She Relies On Crutches

Jessica Alba is growing frustrated with being on crutches after sustaining an injury, the cause of which she has yet to disclose.

The actress, who recently split from her husband of 17 years, Cash Warren, has embraced a more leisurely lifestyle since announcing their separation.

Taking to Instagram, Jessica Alba shared that she is “trying to speed up” her recovery process and also posted a glimpse of her IV therapy.

On Tuesday, Jessica Alba turned to Instagram to express her frustration over still being reliant on crutches following a puzzling injury.

While she has yet to disclose the details of how it happened, the actress is now fully focused on accelerating her recovery as much as she can.

“Trying to speed up this recovery with all the healing – slow mornings, journaling, nourishing my body + soul,” she wrote in her post.

The actress revealed that she has been on an IV therapy called NAD+, which promises tons of alleged benefits for the body.

“Plus some #NAD to boost cellular repair and get me off these dang crutches,” Alba added.

Adding to the post, the 43-year-old included a video of her crutches in the background alongside a glimpse of her hand receiving the IV treatment.

Alba also shared a picture of herself holding a cup filled with what appeared to be a herbal drink. The cup had emblazoned across it the words, “She is growing through it.”

Alba was first spotted with the walking aid in a post she made last week about exploring New York City.

In the post, the actress, who wore a suit dress, held on to the crutches as she walked.

“If you saw me crutching around the city, no you didn’t,” Alba captioned the post, making light of her situation.

She was once again spotted with the crutches while enjoying dinner at The Birds Street Club in Los Angeles on Monday.

Her recent tour of New York City is part of the leisure lifestyle Alba has been on since splitting from her husband of 17 years, Cash Warren.

In the previous months, she has visited places like Mexico and Kauai, one of the islands in Hawaii.

The actress has shared these moments with her 20 million-plus followers, including posting footage of herself riding a jet ski and going on a boat ride.

In January, Alba announced that she was ending her almost two-decade-long marriage to Warren after being spotted numerous times without her wedding ring.

The two got married in 2008, and through the years, they welcomed two daughters, Honor, 16, and Haven, 13, and a son, Hayes, seven.

“I’ve been on a journey of self-realization and transformation for years – both as an individual and in partnership with Cash,” Alba said in a statement about the divorce. “I’m proud of how we’ve grown 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.”

Ending the statement, Alba revealed that she and Warren intend to move “forward with love, kindness, and respect for each other.”

She also hinted that they will amicably co-parent their children, describing the trio as their “highest priority.”

The following month, Alba officially filed the divorce papers, listing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their separation.

At the time, it was reported by the Daily Mail that the couple had no prenup and that a huge amount of money was at stake.

Both Alba and Warren had accumulated substantial wealth independently: Alba through her successful wellness brand, The Honest Company, and Warren through his men’s underwear and sock company, Pair of Thieves.

In addition to their individual earnings, the couple shared several joint assets, including a $10 million Beverly Hills mansion purchased in 2017.
