Sue Narramore married Michael Warren in Los Angeles in September 1974. They divorced sometime before their son Cash turned five. She raised both their children alone, never remarried, and has given no media interviews in the fifty years since. Given how much has been written about the family she helped build, the documented record on Sue Narramore herself is close to blank.

Who Is Sue Narramore?
Sue Narramore is an American woman best known publicly as the first wife of actor and former UCLA basketball player Michael Warren and as the mother of Hollywood producer and entrepreneur Cash Warren.
She is a white American. Her birth date has never been disclosed. Based on her children’s birth years, she is estimated to be in her late 60s or early 70s as of 2026. Her educational background, professional career, and most details of her personal life are not on any public record. She lives in California.
Her Marriage to Michael Warren
Michael Warren was 28 when he married Sue Narramore on September 25, 1974, four years into an acting career he had built after professional basketball did not work out.
His athletic record before that was serious. Warren played for UCLA from 1965 to 1968 under John Wooden, winning back-to-back NCAA national championships in 1967 and 1968 on a team that included Lew Alcindor, later known as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He earned first-team All-American honours in 1968. The Seattle SuperSonics drafted him in the 14th round of the 1968 NBA Draft. He was cut before the regular season began. He signed with the Los Angeles Stars of the ABA and was released again. His own summary of that period: “At 22, I was a washed-up ballplayer.”
Acting became his second career. He spent nine seasons as Officer Bobby Hill on NBC’s Hill Street Blues, one of the most recognised roles in American television drama throughout the 1980s.
When he and Sue Narramore married in 1974, none of that had happened. He was a Black man in his late twenties building a career in Hollywood. She was a white woman. The Supreme Court had struck down anti-miscegenation laws with Loving v. Virginia in 1967 — seven years before their wedding. In much of the country, interracial marriages were still socially uncommon and complicated during that period. Neither Warren nor Narramore has ever spoken about this publicly.
Their Children and the Divorce
Sue Narramore and Michael Warren had two children:
- Kekoa “Koa” Warren — born July 1976, Los Angeles
- Cash Garner Warren — born January 10, 1979, Los Angeles
The marriage ended in divorce. The exact year is not on any public record. What is confirmed: Sue Narramore received custody of both children and raised them without a co-parent in the home. She did not remarry.
Michael Warren later married Jenny Palacios, with whom he has two more children: Grayson Andres Warren (born 1995) and Makayla Warren (born 1998).
Raising Cash Warren
Cash Warren grew up in Los Angeles and also spent time in France during his upbringing — something he mentioned when a Huffington Post reporter asked whether being biracial had been difficult.
“Growing up in L.A. and France, it wasn’t much of an issue,” he said. “I’ve always felt very comfortable in who I am — being part black and part white.”
He attended Crossroads School in Santa Monica from 1993 to 1997. His classmates included actress Kate Hudson. He played basketball well enough to win a state championship with his teammate Baron Davis, who went on to a long NBA career. He was also, by his own telling, heavily teased between ages 12 and 16 for severe acne.
“I got teased quite a bit from age 12 to 16 because I had really bad acne. But fortunately it helped me realise at a young age that the cool kids were the ones getting good grades and excelling in class.”
He graduated from Yale University in 2001 with a degree in Political Science. His mother was his primary parent through most of those years. She has never discussed any of it publicly.
Cash Warren’s Career as a Producer and Entrepreneur
Cash Warren started in the film industry as a production assistant on Taxi (2004) and Fantastic Four (2005), both directed by Tim Story. Fantastic Four is also where he first met Jessica Alba.
He went on to co-found and run Verso Entertainment as president — a production company focused on documentary and social-issue content. His own description of the role: “A contemporary producer is an action-oriented problem solver who works with smarter and more talented people than themselves to create product.”
Major productions under his name:
- Crips and Bloods: Made in America (2008) — directed by Stacy Peralta, narrated by Forest Whitaker — nominated for a News and Documentary Emmy Award in 2010
- In the Blood (2014) — nominated for both a News and Documentary Emmy Award and an NAACP Image Award
- Being Terry Kennedy — executive producer, BET series
In 2014, he co-founded Pair of Thieves with Alan Stewart and Dave Ehrenberg. The retail brand, built around socks and everyday basics, secured shelf space in 1,800 Target stores in its first year, expanded into Nordstrom and Disney, and was generating over $30 million in annual revenue by its fifth year. The company has also donated over three million pairs of socks to people in need since its founding.
Cash Warren and Jessica Alba
Cash Warren met Jessica Alba on the Fantastic Four set in Vancouver in 2004. They married on May 19, 2008 in Los Angeles. Together they had three children:
- Honor Marie Warren — born June 2008
- Haven Garner Warren — born August 2011
- Hayes Warren — born December 31, 2017
The marriage lasted sixteen years. Alba filed for divorce on February 7, 2025, listing December 27, 2024 as their official date of separation and citing irreconcilable differences. The divorce was finalised on February 12, 2026.
Under the terms confirmed by court documents, Cash Warren receives $3 million from Alba across two instalments, along with half of her residuals from projects completed during their marriage. Both share joint legal and physical custody of all three children. Neither party pays spousal support.
Sue Narramore is the grandmother of Honor, Haven, and Hayes.
Koa Warren
Koa Warren — full name Kekoa Brianna Warren — was born in July 1976 in Los Angeles. She has stayed out of public view almost entirely, following the same path as her mother.
Her birthday is July 30, confirmed through Just Jared’s 2016 coverage of a birthday celebration held at Bootsy Bellows in West Hollywood, where Jessica Alba and Cash Warren were both present. Alba tagged Koa directly on Instagram that night.
She married and took her husband’s surname. Getty Images captions from February 2016 identify her as Kekoa Jones. Beyond that, her husband, her career, and the details of her personal life are not publicly documented.

Where has Sue Narramore been photographed publicly?

Fifty Years, No Comment
When Cash Warren’s divorce from Jessica Alba was finalised in February 2026, it produced weeks of coverage. Settlement terms, custody arrangements, asset lists — all documented and widely reported across major outlets. Sue Narramore, who raised Cash in Los Angeles after her marriage ended and has been part of this family’s story since 1974, appears nowhere in any of it.
For fifty years, the public record on her has stayed blank. That is, by every available indication, exactly how she has kept it.
