Jessica Alba is stepping into an exciting new chapter, and it seems to come with a fresh face by her side. After filing for divorce from Cash Warren, the 44-year-old actress is reportedly enjoying a new, casual romance with actor Danny Ramírez.
Details about this new connection were first reported by Us Weekly, citing an exclusive source close to the situation. The insider revealed that Alba and Ramírez, 32, were actually friends before their relationship turned romantic. Jessica is keeping things light and easy for now.
Ramírez is a familiar name in Hollywood. He’s appeared in big films like Top Gun: Maverick and Captain America: Brave New World. Fans also saw him more recently in the second season of The Last of Us.
It turns out, Hollywood can be a small world. The Marvel actor and Alba share many mutual friends. This includes Eva Longoria, who is a longtime best friend to Alba, the co-founder of Honest Company. The source explained that they simply move in the same social circles, which is how they first met. The new couple has managed to keep their budding romance quiet for about a month.
However, they haven’t been completely out of sight. After a trip to Cancun, Mexico, they were spotted boarding a flight back to Los Angeles on Sunday, July 13. Both wore baseball caps and sunglasses, perhaps trying to keep a low profile.
The source added that Alba is simply having a lot of fun in this new phase of her life. While she enjoys spending time with Ramírez, it’s not a serious commitment. The Honey star isn’t interested in introducing him to her three children with Warren just yet. Her kids are Honor, 17, Haven, 13, and Hayes, 7. After all, the source pointed out, Jessica hasn’t been in the dating scene for decades, so she’s truly enjoying this new experience.
Us Weekly reached out to representatives for Alba, Ramírez, and Longoria for their comments.
The news broke in January that Alba had separated from Warren, 46, after 16 years of marriage. She later confirmed this in an Instagram statement, which has since been removed. In her message, Alba shared that she had been on a "journey of self-realization and transformation" for years, both personally and with Warren. She expressed pride in how they had grown over two decades of marriage. Alba stated it was time for them to begin a new chapter of growth as individuals. They are moving forward with love, kindness, and respect, and will always be family. Their children remain their highest priority, and they requested privacy.
An exclusive source told Us Weekly at the time that the couple, who met in 2004 on the set of Fantastic Four and married in 2008, had faced "many ups and downs" over the years. They had even "tried therapy." Alba and Warren officially filed for divorce in February. Court documents obtained by Us Weekly stated they had separated in December 2024. They requested joint custody of their children.
Despite the split, the estranged couple spent Easter together as a family in April. The Sin City star also publicly wished the film producer a happy Father’s Day in June. A source noted to Us Weekly in May that Jessica and Cash remain connected through their businesses and their children. The former couple reportedly "talk frequently" and continue to be "good friends."
