Jessica Alba is in her main character era, and it includes kisses in flower gardens, late-night girl gang hangouts, and maybe a new dream house or two. Despite being spotted packing on the PDA with a mystery man in London earlier this month, sources close to the "Honey" actress say she's not locking anything down. Alba's enjoying her post-split glow-up, one spontaneous moment at a time.
"She's gone on dates, but she isn't seeing anyone specific right now," a source dished to Us Weekly, effectively confirming Jess is dating on her terms.

Let's rewind to earlier this month when Alba was caught living her best rom-com moment in London's picturesque Regent's Park. The 44-year-old actress was seen walking hand-in-hand with a still-unidentified man, sharing kisses and hugs and even cozying up in rented deck chairs among the blooming flowers.
Eyewitnesses told The Sun it was a total PDA-fest: "They were hugging and holding hands as they walked through the park together. They rented out some deck chairs and they were sitting on them kissing."

Life After Love
This new chapter follows Alba's headline-making split from their longtime husband, Cash Warren, with whom she shares three kids. After 17 years of marriage and some Instagram-friendly reflection, the two called it quits in January. "I've been on a journey of self-realization and transformation for years — both as an individual and in partnership with Cash," Alba shared at the time.

She recently listed her Beverly Hills home for a jaw-dropping $19 million and is officially on the hunt for a new home base. "She's looking for a new house so she and the kids can have a fresh start," the insider revealed. "She wants a new space to make new memories."
Embracing the Freedom
And if her recent outings are any indication, Alba's reveling in the freedom that comes with being single. The source says she's spending more time with friends, living a little more spontaneously, and enjoying all the attention she's getting.
Alba's living proof that post-divorce doesn't have to mean doom and gloom; it can look like reinvention.
