Jessica Alba, 30, and her husband Cash Warren, 32, have welcomed their second child, a daughter they named Haven Garner Warren. Little Haven was born on Saturday and joins her little sister Honor, three. Alba posted the news on her Facebook page. Alba has previously not revealed the sex or due date of the baby, just saying during a recent interview that she was due “soon” and didn’t want to say if she was having a girl or a boy.
Hi Everyone,
Hope you’re enjoying the weekend. Cash and I are so excited to announce the birth of our daughter, Haven Garner Warren. She was born on Saturday, weighed 7lbs, and was 19 inches long. Healthy and happy! Big Sister Honor couldn’t be more excited about the new addition to our family.
Thank you for all of your support during my pregnancy. It means the world to me.

Well, as far as Haven goes it’s not the most bizarre celebrity name, but it still sounds odd to me. It’s strange to hear a regular word appropriated as a child’s name, but Alba and Warren did it for their first kid and they’re doing it again. Kaiser says that it’s a name for a production company, not a kid. According to the Baby Name Wizard, the name “Haven” was given to 130 out of a million kids in 2010. So it’s not a popular name at all, but that’s about to change now that Alba has used it. I’m assuming that the baby’s middle name, “Garner,” is a family name.
Congratulations to Jessica and Cash on their new arrival! We’ll be seeing that baby in paparazzi pictures soon.
Congrats to Jess, Cash & big sister Honor!
Not sure about the name but I’m sure she’s a cutie 🙂
They are such a sweet family. Congrats to all.
Awwww I think Haven is such a cute name. Very cool. Very Claire from Six Feet Under…if that makes any sense. Congrats to Jessica and Warren.
The name is stupid. They would be a very cute family if jessica wouldn’t look so unhappy with cash.
CONGRATS! The name Haven does seem rather silly, but the most important is a healthy happy baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Honor is not a made up name. It’s been a girl’s name for a long time, just never used very often. I love Honor. Haven is just meh to me.
Sorry I’m not hater but she should stop making childeren because they are not cute at all. And being serious for a moment she is hasbeen and exists in media only because her kid(s).
Yes, a baby is always good news!!!!! Good for them!
The Ha-whatever names seem to be really popular in Hollywood.
And being serious for a moment she is hasbeen and exists in media only because her kid(s). <<< so true. She can be glad for having a friend like Robert Rodriguez. He’s the only one who hires this talentless woman. 6 Years ago people hired her because she was a fresh new cute face who hadn’t problems to show of her body but now.. her career is over. She should take the money for the new babypictures and leave hollywood. It would be the best for her and her children.
Congrats to them.
Don’t care for the name.
Honor isn’t a made up name it’s just an older name. Haven is a pretty name too. I mean let’s give her credit for not naming the kid Moon Unit or Bear Blue 🙂
“Haven” is a cute name and maybe her career isn’t going so well, but I’ve always found her pretty harmless and very amusing when she’s talking delusionally about her “craft”! She seems like a hands-on mum with a happy kid – plus she’s a beautiful millionaire who married Mr. Average when she could have been playing the Hollywood PR hook-up game. Wasn’t she one of Tom Cruise’s potential “auditionees”, or do I mis-remember?
Everytime I hear the name “Honor” I think “On Her” Maybe it’s my accent. But I really hope the poor girl isn’t made fun of when she’s older.
Meg – I don’t like saying anything negative about kids… but… I agree her kid isn’t cute… it happens, folks! *runs away from pitchforks*
Alba doesn’t look 30 at all! Great genes. Congrats on second daughter.
@Tapioca, she dodged quite a bullet then, if she auditioned to be Cruise’s WifeBot!
Congrats to Jessica and Cash on the arrival of a healthy happy baby!
…Does nobody else think though how weird the two daughters’ names sound together? Unless I’m pronouncing it wrong you’ve got, phonetically, Onnor and Hhhaven. Doesn’t really flow!
Still, it’s no Bear Blue, that’s for sure!
Haven was the name of one of my close friends in high school. She was awesome!
Oh, and congrats on finally not being pregnant and stuff.
honor’s a great name..
i think heaven would have been better for the second kid…
Agree meg and xxx; beauty but no brains – that’s not really attractive; in her recent interviews and mag covers, which have had threads on this site, she comes across as dislikable, delusional, and distateful – except she’s full of herself. Hollywornout needs to stop hectoring the country and take a look at what its become with all these talentless brainless suckup “stars” making millions; not to disparage her but since she has no “artistic” accomplishments to blather about, she uses her kids as media props to stay relevant. Sorry, not impressed.
Haven wouldn’t bother me if I could get past thinking about Shepard Book dying on Haven in the movie Serenity when I hear it. Of course, her parents are probably not as geeky as I am.
So are we only supposed to reproduce if we can produce cute children? Alot of kids are cute when they are younger and butt ugly when they become adults. And plenty of ugly ducklings look gorgeous when their face catches up to the rest of their features.
Why all the bitterness and hate? Seems like a nice family. Honor is cute enough. Jessica is always pleasant and friendly. Perhaps some people can’t handle other people’s good luck and happiness.
If I remember correctly, wasn’t Honour Blackman one of the first Bond chicks? Wonder if they’ll drop the “h” on Haven so it will be Onnor and Aven?
And @Tazina? Please point me to the bitterness and hate. I haven’t seen any and I do hate to miss it.
bluhare – I agree. Most people don’t care enough about Alba to hate or be bitter towards her!
I’ve known a couple of “Haven”s so the name doesn’t strike me as odd, but certainly uncommon. I like “Honor” too. Plus she’s as cute as they come. Congrats!
Cash’s father is hottie Michael Warren from Hill Street Blues.
I think yelling “Honor! Haven!” is going to be awkward. One H is silent and the other is not.
And what’s with Alba and the letter H?
I feel like people are needlessly mean to Alba, but then I read her whole interview in Lucky, and understood. She reads her business materials in front of the journalist, and then acts like she wants it kept secret. Stupid, not slick.
Congratulations to them! I think the name Haven is really cute! Considering some of the other baby names coming out of Hollywood as of late, I don’t think she did bad at all!
Haven is a better name than Honor, but that’s not saying much. She won’t stay with Cash much longer. I think he’s a total DB and divorce is in their near future.
Dumb name.
I hope the baby takes after the mother in looks this time.
*also runs away from the pitch forks* 😆
