Everything To Know About Danny Ramirez
On 13th July, Danny and Jessica were spotted boarding a flight from Cancun to Los Angeles, seemingly trying to keep a low profile in sunglasses and baseball caps. Although the couple's appearance wasn't exactly PDA-filled, insiders said they were very much travelling as a pair and seemed 'comfortable' around each other.
It comes just months after Jessica was spotted strolling around London's Regent Park with a mystery man – a man who many now believe was Danny, who was in the city at the time. The pair were seen in May holding hands as they strolled the grounds, with onlookers describing the date as being 'very intimate.'
So, who exactly is Danny Ramirez? And is he really dating Jessica Alba? Here's everything you need to know about the Hollywood star.
Danny Ramirez is an actor best known for his role in the Marvel universe as Falcon. Born on September 17th, 1992, he's currently 32 years old (and a loyal and reliable Virgo.)

He's recently sparked dating rumours with Jessica Alba – who filed for divorce from her ex Cash Warren in February, after nearly 17 years together.
Danny was born in Chicago, Illinois, to a Mexican mother and a Colombian father. At seven, he moved to Miami with his family.
Having originally aspired to be a professional football player, Danny pivoted to acting after injuries sidelined his athletic dreams. He went on to attend NYU's prestigious Tisch School of the Arts, where the likes of Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, and Adam Sandler also studied.
Danny's acting career kickstarted in 2015, having guest roles on TV shows including The Affair, Blindspot , and Orange Is The New Black (where he appeared in one episode as the character Paolo). He later went on to star as Wes on Fox's The Gifted , Mario Martinez on Netflix's On My Block, and as Manny in The Last of Us.
In 2022, Danny received critical acclaim for portraying Lt. Mickey 'Fanboy' Garcia in Top Gun: Maverick - a film where the cast famously learnt to fly planes. Starring alongside Tom Cruise, Danny said, 'I couldn't stop smiling, it was a dream. He was not only Maverick for us, he was a coach.'

But landing the role didn't come without some white lies. When he got the job, Danny was made to sign a waiver saying he would do his flight training - despite the fact he had a fear of flying. 'It was too big of an audition not to lie,' he laughed. 'If I took a commercial flight, I'd have to take a couple of wines, my Bose headphones, the Calm app, and then just meditate my way through this.
'Tom created this flight school so meticulously [that] by the end of my time, I was just obsessed. It dispelled that fear for me.'
Fans of the Marvel Universe may know Danny best for his portrayal as Joaquin Torres – otherwise known as Falcon – since 2021. Playing the superhero, Danny has starred in films including The Falcon and the Winter Soldier , Captain America: Brave New World , and will appear in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday , set for release next year.
Prior to now, the actor has kept his private life exactly that: private. There's little information about his personal life, including details on past relationships.
Now, it seems he might have found romance with his fellow Marvel star Jessica Alba – who has played Susan 'Sue' Storm in the superhero-focused universe since 2005.
©After Jessica Alba publicly separated from husband Cash Warren in February 2025, photos released by TMZ appeared to show her boarding a flight from Cancun to LA in July with a mystery man.
That mystery man was later found to have been Danny, who is 12 years her junior. While the couple haven't officially confirmed their romance, they were spotted together in Cancun, as well as in a London park.

EastEnders star Charlie Brooks ‘very happy' flaunting a dress thats 22 years old
Charlie Brooks, 44, best known as Janine Butcher from EastEnders , recently delighted fans by slipping into a colourful minidress she purchased more than 22 years ago before her daughter was born. Sharing a photo on Instagram, she revealed that this childhood favourite brings back fond memories and still brings her joy. Despite posting a seemingly serious expression, she assured followers that she really is feeling happy. She captioned the post: 'Bought this dress over 22 years ago, before my kid was born, and I STILL love it. It actually makes me feel very happy. Funny how a piece of clothing can do that. My face doesn't look happy. But I am actually very happy.' Supporters flooded the comments with praise, admiring how slim she looks and the fact that the dress still fits and that she's supporting sustainable fashion. One fan wrote, 'I love your sense of style, you're so creative. Like you, I relate to the sentiment. But what I love most of all is that you've kept it, and it's not just another item of clothing that has been disposed of 🌏💚✨ xx', 'Beautiful dress. I would buy that now if it was available 😍' and her daughter Kiki even chimed in with a cheeky comment telling her mum to 'cheer up'.

She quickly became one of the show's most notorious characters, known for her sharp tongue, scheming ways, and headline-making storylines. From pushing Barry Evans off a cliff in Scotland to framing others for crimes and blackmailing love interests, Janine was the character fans loved to hate. Brooks's performance won her widespread recognition, including a National Television Award for Best Serial Drama Performance in 2012.

Recently, Charlie opened up about embracing life in a phase without steady employment. After leaving EastEnders in December 2022, she's admitted to enjoying life's simple pleasures such as home time with her dog, long strolls, reading, and catching up with friends. Despite lacking work-related validation, she shared that these moments genuinely make her 'happy.' View More » Charlie is mum to 20-year-old Kiki, her daughter with ex-partner Tony Truman.

At the time Kath took to Instagram to reveal the news to their fans. They said: "Before I could even get back to the hotel I went to the afterparty with, I guess my now ex, crazy thing to say, and was dumped in the party.

After ending things with the Aussie influencer, the Dance Moms star wasted no time in turning her close friendship with Chris into a fully fledged relationship. JoJo is believed to be plotting to spend more time in the UK amid her blossoming romance with former Love Island star Chris.
