Jessica Alba split from lover Cash Warren because he wouldn't marry her.

The 'Sin City' actress, who reportedly called time on their two-and-a-half year romance during an emotional telephone conversation last week, grew tired of waiting for the movie producer to propose.

A source told the New York Daily News newspaper: "He wasn't ready for marriage, and Jessica is. It's as simple as that. It's kind of cold that people are saying she has just finished with him, because it isn't like that."

The final straw came when Jessica attended close friend Eva Longoria's romantic wedding in Paris earlier this month.

The source added: "Seeing Eva get married made Jessica wistful. That was the reason Jessica seemed to be in a terrible mood in Paris."

Close friends of the pair remain confident Jessica and Cash will sort out their differences and get back together soon - if Cash pledges his commitment to the actress.

The Hollywood beauty reportedly called time on the couple's two-and-a-half year romance during an emotional telephone conversation, in which she told the movie producer she "didn't love him anymore".

After delivering the heart-breaking news last weekend, Jessica, 26, allegedly sent an aide to the Los Angeles home the couple shared to help Cash, 28, pack up his belongings and make sure he moved out.

A source told America's Us Weekly magazine: "The break-up happened almost out of nowhere. Cash thinks there could be another guy involved but doesn't know - he's totally devastated. But it was all her."

The pair met on the set of the first 'Fantastic Four' film in 2005, in which Jessica starred and Cash worked as a director's assistant, and their romance quickly blossomed.

Jessica Alba has been house-hunting in New York with her movie producer lover Cash Warren.

The couple, who already live together, have been viewing properties in some of the city's most desirable areas, including Chelsea, SoHo and the West Village.

A friend of Jessica's told the New York Daily News newspaper: "They love visiting New York and have decided to have a second home here. Jessica wants to have a cozy place to stay, since she finds herself working and shopping in New York all the time."

The 26-year-old actress - who met Cash while filming the first 'Fantastic Four' film, on which he worked as a director's assistant - has seemingly been planning to move to the Big Apple for some time.

Last year, Jessica claimed she was planning to quit Hollywood and move to the city so she could star in more independent films and spend more time with Cash.

She said at the time: "It's something I have been considering. Just being an actress and being in a relationship is tough - I don't recommend it."

Sexy Jessica Alba hates the form-fitting superhero outfit she wears as Sue Storm in The Fantastic Four movies - because she can't gain a pound in it.

The actress might be one of the sexiest women alive, with a perfect figure to go, but even she struggled to feel comfortable in the tight-fitting suit.

She says, "I have to hold my stomach in... It's really not forgiving at all and if it's that time of month, whatever, it shows everything."

So Alba uses a cheat girdle to help her look good at all times: "I wear this stuff called Spanx... I appreciate that."

Actress Jessica Alba hopes to feature in a third installment of the comic book-turned-movie Fantastic Four - as a mother.

The star - who plays Sue Storm in the first two films - would like to see her crime-fighting character face a much more common challenge in the next movie.

She says, "I hope we'll do another. I think Sue needs to be a mother."

"It would be fun to see her try to juggle being a mother, a wife and a superhero."

The 'Fantastic Four' star claims she doesn't expect a relationship with someone just because she has slept with them.

She told America's Cosmopolitan magazine: "I just wanted to see what it was like to be with different people. I don't think a girl's a slut if she enjoys sex.

"I could have a one-night stand, and I'm the kind of girl who looks over in the morning and is like, 'Do you really have to be here?' I don't need to cuddle and do all that stuff because I know what it is and I don't try to make it more."

Meanwhile, the stunning actress recently admitted her early on screen kisses were "gross".

She said: "I was 12 years old and had to kiss this guy who was gross and never brushed his teeth.

"Then, at 14, I had to kiss a guy who was 32 or 33, and I was like, 'Ewww!' I didn't want to do it!"

However, the 'Sin City' beauty says her kissing experiences have since improved and her current boyfriend Cash Warren "is the best kisser in the world".

Latina beauty Jessica Alba was horrified when a British journalist compared her latest movie hairstyle to Paris Hilton's coif.

On Tuesday, Alba spoke to Sky News reporter Neil Sean at the world premiere of Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer in London, who compared her character Sue Storm's platinum blonde locks to the jailed socialite.

Sean said, "So you've got a bit of a Paris Hilton hairstyle going on in the film," to which Alba replied, "I don't think it looks anything like Paris' hair actually."

Alba was later overheard complaining to a publicist, "Was he telling me I look like a jailbird? That was just so out of order."

The Fantastic Four actress topped the poll for her role as The Invisible Woman - also known as Sue Storm - in the movie adaptation of the comic book.

Jennifer Garner came second as Elektra in Daredevil/Elektra and Halle Berry was third as Storm in the X-Men film series.

The sexiest man was Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in X-Men, while Superman star Brandon Routh only managed to reach fifth place in the Pearl & Dean poll.

Actress Jessica Alba has further fueled speculation her relationship with long-term boyfriend Cash Warren is in trouble, by revealing a crush on British Royal Prince William.

The Sin City star has been dating film producer Warren since January 2005, but said in a recent interview she is still searching for the perfect father for her future children.

And the heir to the British throne could be a potential candidate.

She says, "I always felt I had been born into the wrong family. I felt I should have been a royal."
