It comes after Alba’s split with her husband of 16 years, Cash Warren, 46, was made public on January 8.
A week later, the actress confirmed they had separated and were preparing to divorce via her social media.
“I’ve been on a journey of self-realization and transformation for years — both as an individual and in partnership with Cash,” Alba wrote via Instagram on January 16. “I’m proud of how we’ve grown in our marriage over the last 20 years and it’s now time for us to embark on a new chapter of growth and evolution as individuals.”
Meanwhile, Markle has been busy this year with charitable pursuits. She and husband Prince Harry, 40, rolled up their sleeves to lend a hand to those affected by the Los Angeles wildfires earlier in January.
