Jessica Alba‘s newest reported flame is Danny Ramirez, and it feels like their summer romance is continuing to heat up. This comes after the Fantastic Four actress, 44, was recently spotted out on a date night with the Look Both Ways actor, 33. The two notably have an 11-year age gap, with the former born on April 28, 1981, and the latter on September 17, 1992.
As reported by PEOPLE, this latest rumored couple in Hollywood was photographed stepping out hand-in-hand for a date night at the Corner Store in New York City on Monday, September 15. They were reportedly also soon joined by Him co-stars, Marlon Wayans and Tyriq Withers.
The actress-entrepreneur was all smiles while decked head-to-toe in a monochrome look consisting of a brown top with wide-legged pants, jacket, boots, and handbag in a similar shade. The actor, on the other hand, chose a more relaxed look, going for a dark T-shirt under a navy jacket, light-wash ripped jeans, sneakers, and a trucker hat.
Per the reports, it feels like things are really heating up between this new power couple!
All We Know About Jessica Alba and Danny Ramirez’s Romance
Jessica Alba and Danny Ramirez were first reported to be engaged in a romantic relationship earlier this year in July. At the time, a source claimed to PEOPLE that things were “very new” between them, but the two stars were “having a good time together” after they were snapped boarding a flight from Cancún, Mexico, to Los Angeles in July (via TMZ).
A source told Us Weekly before that, on July 16, that both the actors “were friends before it turned romantic,” and that the actress “is still keeping things casual.” The source explained,
[They] have a lot of mutual friends. They run in the same social circle, and that is how they were connected. [They] have been keeping things low-key for the last month.
Then, a week later, they appeared to publicly confirm their romance when they were photographed passionately locking lips on July 25 after being spotted on an outing in Los Angeles clad in casual clothes, both wearing sneakers, gray sweatpants, and baseball caps. Two days before that, they were snapped smiling inside a car together after a dinner outing (via PEOPLE).
At the time, the romance was said to be in its early stages and “casual,” but sources also noted that the “connection” was there. As a source claimed to PEOPLE,
She’s been testing the waters with Danny. It’s still casual, but there is a connection. She was trying to keep it quiet, but after they were photographed returning from Cancún, she doesn’t feel the need to hide it anymore. She enjoys dating him. She’s pretty unapologetic about her life, just in general, and wants to enjoy as much as possible.
More recently, though, the couple was spotted in New York City together, enjoying the U.S. Open men’s singles final in each other’s company on September 7. Alba and Ramirez held hands while watching the match, with Ramirez even happily gazing at a smiling Alba as he wrapped his right arm around her in their seats (via PEOPLE).
From what it feels like, per the sources, the pair’s relationship has reportedly developed significantly since its early days of being in the “casual” state.
Who Have Jessica Alba and Danny Ramirez Dated Previously?
While she currently appears to be enjoying her time with Danny Ramirez, Jessica Alba has previously been linked to a few stars over the years. Not to mention, she was married to Cash Warren, 46, from 2008 to 2024, with the date of their separation listed as December 27, 2024.
Starting off, in 2003, she was rumored to have had a fling with Mark Wahlberg after being photographed together, though there was no hard evidence to confirm that they were actually an item (via Who’s Dated Who).
Then, in 2004, she was reported to be in a brief relationship with Derek Jeter, per E! News. However, at the time, they weren’t photographed together, so if they truly did date, it was entirely under the radar.
Next came her now-ex-husband, Cash Warren, whom she reportedly started seeing sometime around 2004 after meeting on the sets of Fantastic Four, where Alba was playing Sue Storm and Warren was working as an assistant to director Tim Story. The two tied the knot a few years later, in 2008, and went on to have three kids over the course of the next 17 years (per Cosmopolitan).
However, this past February, it was reported that things had fallen apart between this longtime couple, and that the Honey actress had filed for divorce, announcing the news of the same on Instagram.
But the two continued to remain amicable, as a source told Us Weekly that “Jessica and Cash are still intertwined with their business ventures and the kids.” The source also added that the former couple “talk often,” and remain “good friends.” Not to mention, they even celebrated Easter as a family, back in April this year, and she wished him on Father’s Day as well (via PEOPLE).
After the divorce, Alba was also speculated to be romantically involved with Alex Edelman when the two were snapped leaving the Vanity Fair Oscars Party together. However, a source clarified to E! News that they barely know each other, are “not dating,” and that 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.” (A true gentleman!)
Ramirez’s dating history, on the other hand, isn’t all that interesting. After all, he has successfully kept his personal life under wraps, and there’s no confirmed record of his past relationships. Rather, he has been more vocal about his passion for acting, family, and fitness than his dating history. That said, his relationship with Alba seems to be his first publicly known one.
Either way, Jessica Alba and Danny Ramirez seem happy and content in each other’s company currently, and we hope things continue to go their way despite their age gap. What do you think? Let us know in the comments below!
