Meet Danny Ramirez: The Rising Latino MCU Star Who Captured Jessica Alba's Heart

All eyes were on Danny Ramirez when his relationship with Jessica Alba was recently hard-launched on social media. Their public appearances, ranging from glamorous events to sweet vacation photos, signal the start of an exciting new phase for both celebrities.

Following her divorce filing from producer Cash Warren this year, Alba has welcomed an era of personal growth, while Ramirez is making a name for himself as one of the most promising new talents in Hollywood.

New Chapter With Jessica Alba

Ramirez, 33, and Alba, 44, were first linked in mid‑July of this year when they were spotted boarding a flight together from Cancún to Los Angeles. While neither has formally confirmed the nature of their relationship, their Instagram‑debut at the Baby2Baby Gala sealed speculation that things have grown serious.

Insiders say the pair were friends first, drawn together through mutual social circles, before their connection deepened.

While Alba maintains that her three children are her top priority, it is undeniable that she is relishing this newfound intimacy and effortlessly embracing it in the spotlight.

From Fighter Jets to Superhero Wings

Before becoming a media fame, Ramirez built a solid career on‑screen.

He first caught widespread attention in the blockbuster Top Gun: Maverick (2022) as Lt. Mickey 'Fanboy' Garcia. From there, he became part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, taking on the role of Joaquín Torres in the series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021).

His role in the film Captain America: Brave New World (2025) officially established him as Falcon, marking a significant moment as he becomes one of the first major Latino actors to take on a leading role in a Marvel superhero film.

Beyond these blockbuster credits, Ramirez has showcased his range in independent and streaming projects, including Assassination Nation (2018), The Gifted (2017), Root Letter (2022), Netflix's No Exit (2022), and HBO's The Last of Us (2023).

He has expressed fondly his connection with co-stars like Anthony Mackie and Tom Cruise, and his off-screen antics indicate a strong bond beyond the camera as well.

That blend of emerging talent and relatable charm has played an essential part in his attractiveness to audiences, both in films and in real life.

Building Path to Fame

Born in Chicago in 1992 and raised in Miami, Ramirez is of Colombian‑Mexican descent—a heritage he now embraces with pride.

In his youth, he dreamed of becoming a professional athlete, engaging in football and soccer until an ankle injury shifted his focus to the world of acting. He pursued his education at the renowned New York University Tisch School of the Arts, starting with small roles in shows like Orange Is the New Black and On My Block, and gradually climbed up the ladder until he achieved his big break.

In addition to his acting career, he has made appearances in music videos for Latin artists such as Karol G and Becky G. These opportunities highlighted his diverse talents across different platforms.

Ramirez's journey from aspiring athlete to rising star and now romantic figure alongside Alba reflects a blend of ambition, craft and connection. With major blockbuster roles and a new relationship making headlines, his moment in the spotlight seems very much underway.
