Too Young And Inexperienced
Jessica Alba was just 18 years old when she began dating Weatherly, who was 30 at the time, and while their relationship was good while it lasted, they broke up in 2003, three years after they got married. Jessica had been too inexperienced and young for such a serious commitment. Now that she had real-life dating experience in show business, she was starting to see her worth more than before. She was landing roles left and right through hard work and talent. Also, she was single once again.
Driven And Responsible
After Jessica Alba broke up with Weatherly, she said that she enjoyed a “wild period with men for a second.” She dated baseball star Derek Jeter and actor Mark Wahlberg, both she described as “really nice guys.” However, flings were not her thing – she was a responsible and driven type. For most of her life, Jessica knew she wanted to be a successful actor, but she was not the type to date someone just based on status. Soon, she met someone else that would blow her mind.
