It looks like Jessica Alba has officially moved on — and the internet can’t stop talking about it. Just months after filing for divorce from her ex-husband, Cash Warren, the father of her three kids and son of actor Michael Warren, the Dark Angel star is now reportedly dating Captain America: Brave New World actor Danny Ramirez.
Rumors started swirling in mid-July 2025, and things heated up quickly. TMZ first caught the two boarding a flight from Cancún to Los Angeles on July 14 after what looked like a romantic getaway in Mexico. A source told PEOPLE that things are “very new,” but the pair is clearly enjoying each other’s company.
Then came the real headline-grabber: a full-on make-out session in front of Ramirez’s Los Angeles home, just a week later. On July 25, TMZ snapped the two wrapped in each other’s arms, kissing like lovestruck teenagers. Matching in gray sweatpants, black tees, and baseball caps, the couple looked more like a rom-com scene than a secret fling.
In a video from that same day, Jessica was even seen helping Danny carry a giant potted orchid into his house, home decor and all. That’s when fans really started asking: Who exactly is Jessica Alba’s boyfriend, Danny, and how did things get this serious so fast?
How Did Alba and Her New Boyfriend, Ramirez, Meet?
Alba and her beau, Ramirez, met through mutual friends, according to insiders.
“They were friends before it turned romantic,” a source told Us Weekly, adding that “Jessica is still keeping things casual.” The insider explained that the two run in the same social circle, which is how they initially connected.
“She’s having a lot of fun in this new era,” the source shared. “It’s not serious, but she’s enjoying her time with him.”
Their Age Gap
Alba and Ramirez have an age gap of about 12 years. Alba was born on April 28, 1981, and turned 44 this year, while her bf, Danny, was born on September 17, 1992, making him 32.
But judging by the paparazzi shots, age doesn’t seem to matter — they look completely smitten with each other.
He Was Born to Parents of Mexican and Colombian Heritage
Ramirez was born in Chicago, Illinois, to a Mexican mother and a Colombian father.
When he was seven, his mother moved the family to Miami, where he and his sisters spent the rest of their childhood.
He Grew Up Around Cameras and Creative Energy
The Last of Us star was no stranger to cameras growing up. His mother and uncle worked as event photographers, so camera equipment was always part of the household scene.

While he didn’t realize it at the time, he later credited that environment with quietly sparking his interest in storytelling.
His mother eventually switched her career and is now a child psychologist.
Danny Ramirez Used to Dream of Going Pro in Sports Before Turning to Acting
As a kid, Ramirez had big athletic ambitions. He wanted to go pro—first in American football, then in soccer. He played both sports competitively until injuries forced him to rethink his path.
While playing college soccer in Atlanta, an unexpected opportunity pushed him toward a new direction. British actor Riz Ahmed was on campus filming The Reluctant Fundamentalist, and extras were needed for a soccer scene. Ramirez, sidelined with a sprained ankle, happened to be available.
“That was the first time I saw an actor of color being the lead of something,” he recalled. “I was just an extra but I was like, ‘Oh, he could do it, I could do it.’”
He initially transferred to NYU to study engineering but eventually realized that if acting was what truly interested him, he needed to be at Tisch—and that’s exactly where he went.
He Has Earned a Modest Net Worth From His Work in Film and TV
Danny Ramirez has built a solid career in Hollywood—and with it, a modest net worth. As of 2025, various sources estimate his fortune at around $1.5 million.
He made his TV debut in 2016 with a small role on Showtime’s The Affair as “Moving Van Kid #1.” Two years later, he landed his first movie role as Diamond in Sam Levinson’s Assassination Nation, the same year he graduated from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts.
His big break came in 2021 when he played Joaquin Torres in Marvel’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier on Disney+. That role opened the door to a busy 2022, where he landed parts in several major projects, including No Exit, Look Both Ways, Stars at Noon, and Top Gun: Maverick alongside Tom Cruise.
Most recently, Ramirez joined the cast of HBO’s hit series The Last of Us, where he plays the role of Manny.
