AceShowbiz - Jessica Alba, known for her roles in "Sin City" and "Dark Angel," has stirred the tabloids following her recent sighting with comedian Alex Edelman. On March 2, the two were seen leaving the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party together, prompting rumors about a budding new romance.

Edelman, who won a Tony and Emmy Award last year, was a perfect gentleman, draping his olive green tuxedo jacket over Alba's shoulders as they walked out. Paparazzi caught the comedian wrapping his arms around Alba, sparking speculation of a romantic connection.

Despite the buzz, sources close to the pair were quick to clarify that there's no romance brewing. "They are not dating," a source told E! News. "They met walking to their cars at the end of the night and he offered her his jacket because she was freezing before they went their separate ways."

Another insider added that Edelman is merely "a friend of a friend" of Jessica's.

Alba officially filed for divorce from Cash Warren on February 7, citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split. Both parties are seeking joint physical and legal custody of their three children: Honor, 16, Haven, 13, and Hayes, 7.

The split seems to be amicable, with both Jessica and Cash placing the utmost importance on maintaining a healthy co-parenting relationship. "We are moving forward with love, kindness, and respect for each other and will forever be family," Alba mentioned in her announcement.

In the wake of her divorce, Jessica is also embracing symbolic new beginnings. Nearly three weeks after filing for divorce, she debuted a new tattoo by Hollywood artist Daniel Winters.

The cursive inscription, "life is transformation is life," aptly reflects her current personal journey. Winters described Alba as a "spiritual, lovely human" who came prepared with a strong idea of what she wanted.

As she navigates this new chapter, one thing remains clear: Jessica Alba is moving forward with grace and purpose.
