Did Hayden Christensen and Jessica Alba Ever Date? the Truth Behind the 'Awake' Co-Stars
By Sarah Jenkins
Almost two decades after Awake debuted in theaters, both actors have carved out distinct careers and personal lives. Jessica Alba transformed herself from a Hollywood sex symbol into a successful corporate founder, steering The Honest Company through an initial public offering while raising three children with Cash Warren.
Christensen took an extended break from major studio filmmaking, prioritizing his daughter and his Canadian farm before making an acclaimed return to his defining role as Darth Vader in the Disney+ series Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka. His quiet, grounded approach to fame remains his trademark.
When looking back at Awake, both performers view it as an intense, challenging creative project that tested their capabilities as dramatic actors. Their mutual admiration remains intact, unsullied by the fictional tabloid romances that once tried to redefine their collaboration.
