Since announcing her divorce from Cash Warren earlier this year, the Honest Company founder has been busy living her best life taking several tropical vacations, serving up plenty of string bikini inspiration, and hinting at her burgeoning romance with new flame Danny Ramirez.

The Sin City actress could be seen sipping a drink from a coconut as she shared a fresh-faced selfie outside. Wearing a plunging teal green string bikini and nothing else, Alba styled her golden-highlighted brown hair in a deep side part and blocked out the sun with a pair of angular black sunglasses. Huggie hoop earrings, a soft French manicure, and a delicate butterfly pendant necklace finished off her sunbathing look.

'You're just living your life but open to the day when someone comes along and enhances the happiness and joy you already have.'

United Airlines ‘technology issue' resolved after causing delays, airline says
Aviation news Federal agenciesFacebookTweetLink Follow A 'technology issue' that halted United Airlines mainline flights out of departure airports Wednesday night has been resolved, the airline told CNN. 'We are working with customers to get them to their destinations after a technology disruption on Wednesday evening,' a United Airlines spokesperson told CNN. 'The underlying technology issue has been resolved and while we expect residual delays, our team is working to restore our normal operations.' The outage began at 6:12 p.m. ET and was resolved within a few hours, although residual delays continued into Wednesday night, the airline said. About 31% of the carrier's flights were delayed and 1% had been canceled as of 9:45 p.m. ET, according to flight data tracker FlightAware. United Airlines said that the outage was unrelated to recent cybersecurity concerns in the airline industry. The Federal Aviation Administration acknowledged the disruption, saying, 'We're aware United experienced a technology issue disrupting their operations. Some delays may continue as they work through the recovery process.' The FAA is helping address United's 'flight backlog and remain in close contact with United.' Passenger Angela Jeffers, whose flight from Nashville to Denver was delayed two hours on Wednesday, said the pilot told passengers about the system outage. 'We're missing some numbers we need to take off so we can't take off yet and don't have a time estimate of when we'll be able to,' she recalled the pilot telling passengers. She told CNN via text that passengers were given an update around 9:30 p.m. ET that some flights had begun boarding, but due to traffic, not all could. United offered to pay for a hotel and flight for her tomorrow, since her flight hadn't boarded, Jeffers said. Her sister Jessica Jeffers was also coincidentally impacted by the disruption Wednesday night, but at a Denver airport. She also told CNN she had been stuck for two hours. 'It's been pretty rough over here,' Jessica Jeffers told CNN in a text around 9 p.m. ET. 'I have been stuck for about two hours on a plane in Denver waiting to go to Newark; with us just now having the option to either deboard or stay on and wait with no direction about what's going on. The air conditioning has been running really low so we have been essentially baking in here for hours.' Airports in Chicago, Denver, Newark, Houston and San Francisco were impacted, according to the Federal Aviation Administration system status, which showed ground stops requested by United at about 7:30 p.m. ET. This story has been updated with additional information. CNN's Jillian Sykes, Pete Muntean and Hanna Park contributed to this report.

United Airlines ‘Technology Issue' Resolved, But Some Flights Still Face Delays
United Airlines on Wednesday night announced it had resolved a 'technology issue' that had triggered a ground stop for the carrier's flights at major U.S. airports earlier in the evening and triggered hundreds of delays and several dozen cancelations, although the airline was still tackling residual delays triggered by the outage. United Airlines flights were disrupted by technology issues on Wednesday night, causing hundreds of flight delays and cancelations. Copyright 2025 The Associated Press. All rights reserved Earlier on Wednesday evening, the airline told several news outlets that it was 'holding United mainline flights at their departure airports,' due to a 'technology issue,' without offering specifics. In a post on X, Transport Secretary Sean Duffy said United CEO Scott Kirby had briefed him on the matter, adding that 'the issue was specific to United's operations, and is unrelated to the broader air traffic control system.' In a notification on its website later on Wednesday night, the company said it has resolved the 'technology issues that had been affecting flights,' but noted it was still experiencing delays as its team works to restore normal operations. The Federal Aviation Administration also issued a statement saying it was aware that United 'experienced a technology issue disrupting their operations,' and noted: 'We've offered full support to help address their flight backlog.' According to FlightAware data, nearly 1100 United Airlines flights faced delays on Wednesday, which is 35% of the carrier's scheduled flights for the day. In addition to this, 157 United flights were canceled. The residual impact of the ground stop was still being felt after midnight, as 70 flights scheduled for Thursday had been canceled, while 79 had been delayed.
